PC vs Mac commercials

I know we have all seen those stinking annoying commercials where the mac guy is always saying hes better than the PC guy. How annoying are those commercials! Is the mac company that hard up to sell there computers that they have to put down other companies to sell there computer? those commercials, not funny, are stupid. why would a "great" (I hope you heard my sarcasm) company need to put down other companies? for those of you who have macs, I hope you like them. I will never buy that product, I love my Dell, its a great computer and has never had a problem at all.

the latest in the lame attempts to put down the PC brand shows all the other PC's in a group therapy session. one saying I havent had a virus in a week over and over... do they have a 6 year old making these? come on Mac, get a clue, don't put down other companies to sell your product.

the skies and stars

I went outside tonight and looked up at the stars and sky. the sky was clear and the moon was an orange color. looking at all the small stars realizing how big they really are made me think. how small am I in this world? if God knows all the stars up there why does he take time to care for us? its amazing, God amazes me. he knows the hairs on my head and the next step I will take.

why do I feel so insignificant? God loves me when I dont deserve it, when I fail him time and time again. He tells me to do something or not do something and yet I do the opposite. why? I dont know why, Im learning to change but change takes time. how long will it take for me to learn God has something way more for me? Its time I step up and be the man God created me to be.

My time in minnesota changed me, when I left I was scared and excited, when I came back to california I was changed. I matured with God during my time there. God showed himself to me in the chapel services and the time spent in classes. Im still learning about myself and what I want out of life but I know im getting closer.

God, continue to mold me and form me. I am yours. my life is not mine it is all for you. It is you I want to live for, and you alone. Please keep revealing yourself to me, show me your will. I pray for everyone I know, show them your love and keep them safe. keep them in your arms and never let them go. amen

Barnes and Noble

so I go to barnes and noble yesterday trying to return two books that have never been read. I was told no because I did not have my reciept, I told her I didnt want my money back I just wanted different books. The person working in the store then printed out a paper with the policy on it and stuck it in my face. I sent this email to the company...

I was at the merced, CA store today and attempted to return two books.
I was told my the lady working in the store that I cannot return them
because without a recipt they will not take it. I did not want my money
back I wanted to exchange for something different. this was a gift I
did not want or need. this is a ridiculous policy. Being a college
student I shop at Barnes and Noble often but with this policy I will no
longer shop there. My family will no longer shop at Barnes and Noble
either. again I would like to know why this policy is put into place.
I believe that if a company sells a product, it should be backed up
whether it is defected or the person is not satisfied, I guess Barnes
and Noble does not believe in honest business.

this was there reply to me

Thank you for your email regarding our returns guidelines. At Barnes &
Noble, we are strongly committed to making every aspect of our business
customer-friendly, and I can assure you that this commitment extends to
our returns guidelines.

On par with other retailers, we regularly review and update our existing
policies. This return policy is not new to us, but simply an expansion
of a program we have had in place in many areas of the country. While it
is consistent with the type of product that we sell, we will continue
monitoring customer feedback and keep your comments in mind as we
periodically review these and other operating guidelines.

If I can be of any assistance in the future or you would like to discuss
this further, please contact me directly at 800-422-7717.

what a bunch of crap... do they even care? I do not believe so. please do yourself a favor and do not shop at barnes and noble, shop online or in a local, independently owned book store. Being a college student I will never shop at barnes and noble ever again. Has anyone else had this problem or anything like it?
