Wal-Mart Begins Charging for Grocery Bags in California

Wal-Mart Begins Charging for Grocery Bags in California

Wal-Mart (WMT) is either looking to make an impact on the environment or cut more expenses -- probably both. The world's largest retailer is now going to charge its customers in parts of California for shopping bags. No, not the thin plastic ones, but the reusable kind. The standard white plastic bag is going away completely.

Is this a good idea? That is, charge for the temporary storage containers that house goods customers just bought? Wal-Mart apparently wants to force customers to become eco-friendly, although any customer -- after paying 15 cents for a reusable, washable bag -- can throw them away. Want a larger shopping bag? 50 cents, please.

~I personally think this is a good idea and bad idea- so Wal-Mart is turning into Aldi- I can see it now- people bring boxes with them to take their purchases home.

Hearst's Skiff vs. Amazon's Kindle: A Tech Showdown That Kindle Can Win

Hearst's Skiff vs. Amazon's Kindle: A Tech Showdown That Kindle Can Win
A classic tech showdown has now shifted to the red-hot e-reader market. On Friday, semiconductor designer Marvell (MRVL) announced at the 2010 International CES that it will team up with publishing giant Hearst in a bid to throw the floodgates open for manufacturers who want to get in on the fast growing e-reader market.

Marvell will build a chipset called Armada aimed at making it easier for manufacturers to create competitors to Amazon's (AMZN) hit Kindle, among other e-readers. To this end, Hearst and Marvell will partner to create the SkiffReader Development Kit based on the Hearst's Skiff e-reader platform.

I, myself think that is a awesome device and others have tried to knock it off his high horse, but it consistently remains simply the best e-reader on the market.  What is your favorite e-reader device?

Warner Bros. new releases to stay off Netflix for 28 days

"Warner Bros. new releases to stay off Netflix for 28 days
January 6, 2010 | 11:29 am
Marking the first step in what could be a major change in Hollywood's relationship with Netflix Inc., Warner Bros. has struck a deal with the fast-growing online DVD subscription service that will prevent it from offering new releases until 28 days after they go on sale.

The studio is hoping that the four-week 'window' will push consumers interested in watching movies at home to purchase the DVD. Warner already imposes an identical window on $1-per-night kiosk company Redbox and its competitors. Although its unilateral move against Redbox has led to a court battle, Netflix agreed to the 28-day window in exchange for improved financial terms, higher inventory levels and increased access to content for its online streaming service.

How does this make you feel? It pisses me off because again, F- the consumers, it is really all about the money, more than providing a service that pople pay for.
