NYC Sanitation Dept. Doesn't Care About Destroying Your Car

NYC Sanitation Dept. Doesn't Care About Destroying Your Car: "

I don't think we've ever had a municipal service division make it into the Worst Company In America tournament, but New York City's Sanitation Department seems to be gunning for a wild card slot this year. First, they tried to fine someone thousands of dollars for picking up a discarded air-conditioner from the curb, then there was the to-do over the woman ticketed $100 for throwing out a small bag of garbage in a public trash can. Now, as millions of New Yorkers attempt to dig out from one of the biggest blizzards to ever hit the city, the Sanitation folks have been caught on camera destroying a snowbound car.

According to the man who shot the video: 'I went down, I know the owner, they are aware of the video and no police ever came.'

Hacking Your Spouse's Email Could Land You In Jail For Half A Decade

Hacking Your Spouse's Email Could Land You In Jail For Half A Decade: "

Before you consider snooping in your spouse's email, you may want to pay close attention to a case unfolding in Michigan in which a man faces up to five years of prison for hacking into his wife's messages.

The Detroit Free Press reports the man faces felony charges under a Michigan anti-hacking statute that's usually used to prosecute identity theft and corporate espionage. The accused was trying to find out whether or not his wife was cheating. The good news for him and any others who go through their significant others' email is that a legal expert doesn't think the Oakland County prosecutor has much of a case:

'It's going to be interesting because there are no clear legal answers here,' the expert told the Free Press. 'I would guess there is enough gray area to suggest that she could not have an absolute expectation of privacy.'

What sort of electronic monitoring do you do on your significant other?

Roku Rep Tells Me There Are Secret Limits To Netflix Streaming

Roku Rep Tells Me There Are Secret Limits To Netflix Streaming: "

While Josh was streaming 30 Rock through his Roku via Netflix, he caught a plot twist that was more jarring than the announcement of the Kabletown merger: 'Content unavailable,' the screen said.

Josh went online and chatted up a Roku rep we'll call 'Kevin' who said depending on the title, Roku players restrict the amount of content that can be streamed on Netflix. Josh says there's no mention of the limit online or with his Roku paperwork.

An excerpt from the chat:

Kevin: Just now I inquired. Roku has limited access on certain titles.

Kevin: It may not play titles that can be played on computer through netflix.

Josh: I'm surprised to hear that. I don't think it was mentioned in the marketing of the product. The image I got was that if I could stream it from my Netflix account, I could stream it on my Roku.

Kevin: I apologize for the inconvenience.

Josh: ok - thanks. But that means you can't do anything about it?

Kevin: Yes, I apologize for that.

Josh: I just looked. On your website, it says, 'Amazing Value. With Roku, you get FREE access to the entire Netflix streaming library if you have a Netflix subscription starting at $7.99/month. Plus, you automatically get the new Netflix experience, featuring browse and search. '

Josh: Note the words 'entire Netflix streaming library'.

Kevin: Yes, I understand. Just now I inquired my supervisor. The roku player has limited boundaries.

Kevin: Can I help with anything else?

Josh: I guess not. I'm pretty disappointed that you are not delivering what you promised when I bought my Roku and you continue to promise. Don't you think Roku should inform future buyers of this limitation?

Kevin: Yes, I will send your feed back to the concern department for consideration.

If you have a Roku, have you gotten similar error messages? I've gone 30 Rock crazy on my Xbox 360, and have never suffered such an issue.

This Is Going to Be INCREDIBLE: "

Crooks and Liars says that Bank of America is frantically buying up domain names to prepare for the upcoming BofA WikiLeaks releases:

According to Domain Name Wire, the US bank has been aggressively registering domain names including its board of Directors' and senior executives' names followed by 'sucks' and 'blows'.

For example, the company registered a number of domains for CEO Brian Moynihan: BrianMoynihanBlows.com, BrianMoynihanSucks.com, BrianTMoynihanBlows.com, and BrianTMoynihanSucks.com.

The wire report counted hundreds of such domain name registrations on 17 December alone. They were acquired through an intermediary that frequently registers domain names on behalf of large companies, says the report.

Bank of America has reputedly established a 'war room' to draw up strategy and rebutt [sic] allegations likely to emerge from the publication of thousands of internal documents by WikiLeaks.

Man Sues Restaurant For Not Stopping Him From Eating An Entire Artichoke

Man Sues Restaurant For Not Stopping Him From Eating An Entire Artichoke: "

A doctor has sued the Houston's restaurant in Miami after he ate a complete artichoke that he ordered, including the spiny and sharp exterior leaves. He subsequently suffered 'severe abdominal pain and discomfort,' and a 'exploratory laparotomy' showed that the artichoke leaves were jammed in his 'small bowel.' His lawsuit claims that he had 'never seen nor heard of previously' an artichoke and that it was the restaurant's fault for not teaching him how to eat it.

'It takes a sophisticated diner to be familiar with the artichoke,' says the man's lawyer. 'People might think that as a doctor, he'd know how to eat one. But he was thinking it was like a food he might have eaten in his native Cuba, where you eat everything on the plate.'

A spokesperson for the restaurant group told Business Insurance, 'What's next? Are we going to have to post warnings on our menu they shouldn't eat the bones in our barbeque ribs?'

For the record, the way you eat an artichoke is to first pluck off a leaf, then place it in your mouth and pull, scraping off the soft part from the fibrous part and leaving the soft part in your mouth. Repeat until you reach the soft inner heart, which can be consumed whole.

Here is the lawsuit:Arturo Carvjal sues Houston's Restaurant for not advising him on how to eat an artichoke.

Man Records Himself Being Detained At Walmart For A Receipt Check

Man Records Himself Being Detained At Walmart For A Receipt Check: "

A tipster has sent in an audio recording of himself being stopped at the Walmart doors for refusing to show them his receipt. He says that it's in his pocket and he just doesn't feel like getting it out. According to the reader, two of the men who stop him are sheriff's deputies. When he asks one of them their name, the man responds, 'John Doe.' Our reader, who says he is a cop of 20 years himself, says it took nearly half an hour of asking them whether they are placing him under arrest or if he can be on his way before they let him go.

The deputies say things like:

'Stupid what you're doing.'

'You wanna play games, we'll play with you.'

'You put your hands on me, I'll give you a reason... I wish you would.'

'I'll let the manager decide what he wants to do with this case, damn idiot.'

Reached for comment, a Walmart spokesman verified that the incident did occur. They said that a greeter asked the customer for his receipt and two police officers who were on the scene overhead him decline to show it and stepped in. That's about where the audio picks up.

'We're sorry that the incident occurred the way it did. Certainly it's not something we want customers to have to experience,' said the spokesman. 'It's not our goal to inconvenience customers, just under certain circumstances we do ask to ensure our merchandise is paid for and it shouldn't take all that long.'

Good times.

As we've discussed on this site many a time before, stores cannot legally prevent you from leaving if you decide to not show your receipt.

'In general, the store can't force someone to show their receipt,' Joseph LaRocca, senior asset protection advisor for the National Retail Foundation told MSN recently. 'The checks at the door are really designed to be a preventative measure and a customer service measure.'

One of the only time is if you've signed a contract with them where you agreed to do that, like with membership clubs like Costco.

The other is if the manager has reasonable suspicion that you are actually shoplifting, but you can hear in the audio the customer asking the manager several times if he would like to verify his purchases.

Of course if you make an issue out of it like this guy did, you can expect some hassle.

Wireless carriers openly considering charging per service

Wireless carriers openly considering charging per service: "

That slide above is no joke -- it comes from a marketing webinar put on by two companies that supply Verizon, AT&T and Vodafone as clients, and it describes a system that identifies customer internet activity and charges a different rate for using Facebook than watching YouTube, while allowing access to Vodafone services for free. Yes, that's basically the nightmare scenario for net neutrality advocates. The two companies behind the slide are Allot Communications and Openet, which sell subscriber-management tools to carriers around the world -- tools that Allot's director of marketing says can scan even encrypted packets to determine what service customers are using and charge accordingly. We're not making this up -- here's the direct quote from the webinar:

[We use] a number of different methods to accurately identify the application -- methods like heuristic analysis, behavioral and historical analysis, deep packet inspection, and a number of other techniques. What's key is that we have the best application identification available on the market, which means that even applications that are encrypted or use other methods to evade detection will be correctly identified and classified... We essentially feed this real-time information about traffic and application usage into the policy and charging system. Each subscriber has a particular service plan that they sign up for, and they're as generic or as personalized as the operator wants.

Yeah, that's not how anyone actually wants the internet to work -- except carriers, who've been saying increasingly insane things about charging even smartphone manufacturers for customer data usage lately. What's more, it's rumored that the FCC will cave to Verizon and AT&T and exempt wireless internet service from major parts of net neutrality regulation it's expected to pass next week, so this nonsense could very well hit the US sooner rather than later. We'll be keeping a close eye on things -- we'll let you know.

Best Buy Puts An End To Tyrannical Restocking Fees

Best Buy Puts An End To Tyrannical Restocking Fees: "

For years, Best Buy customers have complained about the 15% restocking fee on most electronics (10% on iPhones). So in the spirit of the holidays (and because they are afraid of losing anymore customers than they already have), Best Buy has very quietly announced that as of today, almost all restocking fees are no more.

In a brief statement titled 'Statement' on its website, BB writes:

Best Buy continually listens to our customers, and they told us they want to give confidently this holiday season and every other day of the year -- and with that comes easier returns. Effective Saturday, December 18, Best Buy is improving its return policy by removing restocking fees for all products except special orders.

Consumerist has also obtained a copy of an e-mail sent from Best Buy HQ to stores across the country alerting them to the policy change:

Effective Saturday, Dec. 18, the 15 percent restocking fee will no longer apply to computers (including notebooks, tablets and iPads), projectors, camcorders, digital cameras, radar detectors, GPS navigation, in-car video systems, DJ equipment and lighting, or Pro-Audio equipment. The 10 percent restocking fee will no longer apply to iPhones. Restocking fees shouldn't be charged for any returns of these products going forward.

This policy change is being made because we want to be the best destination for gifts and technology. To do that we need to make it easy for our customers to return product when they need to, which will give them one more reason to love Best Buy.

Additionally, the e-mail states:

If customers who were charged a restocking fee between Nov. 17 and Dec. 17 come into the store for a refund, process a return transaction for the restocking fee amount.

We'll be curious to see if any misinformed Best Buy staffers attempt to charge restocking fees next week.

Report: Walmart Jacks Up Toy Prices Just In Time For The Holidays

Report: Walmart Jacks Up Toy Prices Just In Time For The Holidays: "

Walmart might have had some decent toy prices on Black Friday, but a new report says that not only did those low prices not last -- many of them went up.

According to a Nov. 30 e-mail obtained by Bloomberg News, Walmart HQ instructed store managers to immediately jack up prices on 1,800 different toys 'to better enable your store and the company to have a successful financial month.'

Experts say this directive stands out from the retail giant's policy in holiday shopping seasons past.

'In previous years Wal-Mart has come out and hammered everyone with unbelievably low toy prices,' explains the director of the Center for Digital Strategies at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. 'They stepped away from that this year, and after Thanksgiving their prices have crept back up... Most of their hot toys are out of stock and the stuff that is there is not low-priced.'

A rep for the company tells Bloomberg that the price increase was just a response to existing rollbacks on those items: 'Once a rollback ends, the item returns to its original everyday low price.'

Have any parents out there noticed if the prices on Walmart toys have increased dramatically? And are you doing your holiday toy shopping at Walmart or at a different store?

FTC: Dannon Agrees To Stop Selling Activia As Cure For Irregularity

FTC: Dannon Agrees To Stop Selling Activia As Cure For Irregularity: "

More than a year after settling a class-action lawsuit over false advertising claims, Dannon has finally settled a separate but related complaint from the Federal Trade Commission. As a result, the company says it will no longer market unproven health benefits of its Activia and DanActive yogurts.

Both Activia and DanActive contain probiotic bacteria, which Dannon has made the center of its ad campaigns.

In a Worst Ad In America nominated series of commercials for Activia featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Dannon touted the yogurt as a way to curb irregular bowel movements. Just one serving a day is all it takes to fight irregularity, claimed the ads.

Meanwhile, DanActive was touted for its purported ability to help people avoid catching colds and the flu.

The FTC called BS on the claims made about both of these products and filed complaints against Dannon for deceptive advertising. The FTC also charged that Dannon's statements that it wasn't true that the products' health benefits had been clinically proven.

From FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz:

These types of misleading claims are enough to give consumers indigestion... Consumers want, and are entitled to, accurate information when it comes to their health. Companies like Dannon shouldn't exaggerate the strength of scientific support for their products.

Details of the settlement:

* Dannon is prohibited from claiming that any yogurt, dairy drink, or probiotic food or drink reduces the likelihood of getting a cold or the flu, unless the claim is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. 0

* Dannon may not claim that Activia yogurt will relieve temporary irregularity or help with slow intestinal transit time, unless the claim is not misleading and the ad conveys that three servings of Activia yogurt must be eaten each day to obtain these benefits.

* Dannon may not claim that any other yogurt, dairy drink, or probiotic food or drink will relieve temporary irregularity or help with slow intestinal transit time unless the claim is not misleading and the company has two well-designed human clinical studies that substantiate the claim.

Dannon has also agreed to pay $21 million to 39 states whose attorneys general had opened investigations into similar complaints.

In a statement, Dannon explains its view of the agreement:

After the comprehensive review with regulators of Dannon's scientific substantiation, consistent with the FTC standards, Dannon agreed to more clearly convey that Activia's beneficial effects on irregularity and transit time are confirmed on three servings per day... Dannon also agreed that DanActive will not be marketed as a cold or flu remedy, which Dannon maintains it has never done.

FDNY To Begin Charging Motorists In Car Crashes

FDNY To Begin Charging Motorists In Car Crashes: "

The Fire Department in New York City thinks the taxpayers should no longer be the only ones paying when firefighters are called to the scene of a car crash. Starting next summer, the FDNY will begin billing their time to the motorists involved in the incidents.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a vehicle fire or any other incident with injuries will cost $490. A vehicle fire without injuries will cost $415. And incidents without fire or injuries will cost $365. The FDNY responded to around 14,000 accidents last year.

'We want to relieve pressure on the taxpayer and place it on those at fault and their insurance,' said a spokesman for the FDNY. 'Right now if you're at fault at an accident or a vehicle fire, you get a free ride. And that should not be borne by the taxpayers.'

The invoices will be sent directly to the driver, who can then choose to pass it on to their insurance company.

While the so-called 'crash tax' will add millions of dollars to the city's strained coffers, some fear that it could also cause insurance rates to rise.

The president of the New York Insurance Association calls what the FDNY is doing 'double billing':

If the police show up at your house for a domestic violence dispute or a break-in, are they going to send you a bill? Those are services that are typically covered when you pay your taxes.

Meanwhile, the AAA says the FDNY's plan is 'short-sighted.'

'We have concerns that some motorists might be less likely to call police to crash scenes, allowing drunk drivers, uninsured drivers, drivers with suspended licenses, and others to go undetected,' said a rep for the organization.

Consumer Reports Breaks A Lot Of Glass Investigating Shattering Pyrex Bakeware

Consumer Reports Breaks A Lot Of Glass Investigating Shattering Pyrex Bakeware: "

Three years ago, Consumerist told you about the possible shattering risk of so-called 'oven-safe' Pyrex bakeware. And for the last year, our investigative siblings at Consumer Reports have been combing through complaints to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and testing Pyrex and other glass bakeware in the CR testing facility.

For its article in the current issue of Consumer Reports, the magazine investigated 163 incidents of glass bakeware that shattered suddenly:

In some cases it was in the oven, while cooling on a countertop or even while they were holding it, sometimes sending shards of hot glass flying and causing injuries. Only some of the cases seemed to involve clear violations of the bakeware's instructions. While hundreds of millions of glass dishes are used safely each year, we saw enough incidents to raise concern.

In the CR labs, the magazine tested not only Pyrex and Anchor Hocking brand glass bakeware sold in the U.S., but also European-made Pyrex and Arcuisine Elegance glass bakeware. As we reported back in 2007, Pyrex sold in the U.S. is now made of soda lime glass instead of the borosilicate that had been used for decades and which is still used in Europe. They even managed to scrounge up some old borosilicate Pyrex made in the U.S. for comparison.

In the video below, you'll see that when the soda lime bakeware is exposed to extreme heat and then placed on a wet granite counter, it shatters instantly. The borosilicate bakeware from Europe fared better, though it still shattered after being heated in ovens at 500 degrees. However, the older borosilicate Pyrex didn't even shatter at that temperature.

As a result of its investigation, Consumer Reports has called on the CPSC to look into the problem of shattering bakeware. And when you buy glass bakeware, be careful to read over the manufacturer's instructions for handling the product.

Feds Arrest Online Seller Who Tried To Drive Up Google Ranking By Scaring People

Feds Arrest Online Seller Who Tried To Drive Up Google Ranking By Scaring People: "

Pushing the 'there's no such thing as bad publicity' mentality to the extreme, an online retailer allegedly stalked and threatened customers in order to boost his search engine visibility. The seller reportedly went to such extremes that federal authorities stepped in and arrested him on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, making interstate threats and cyberstalking.

The New York Times reports the man, who sold eyeglasses online, threatened sexual assault against a customer and sent her a picture of her front door to intimidate her. The Times had reported earlier that the reason for the seller's behavior, other than outright creepiness, was to generate bad buzz to boost his profile on Google search engine rankings.

Google responded by announcing it has changed its algorithm, causing searches to bury companies that provide customers with 'an extremely poor user experience.'

Movie Studios Blocking Special Features On Rental DVDs

Movie Studios Blocking Special Features On Rental DVDs: "

In an apparent effort to give customers a reason to buy DVDs instead of renting them, movie studios have begun disabling certain features of new releases on discs rented out by Blockbuster and Netflix.

Consumerist reader Joseph brought this to our attention after he spent $3.99 to rent the DVD of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World from Blockbuster. When he went to the disc's main menu and attempted to watch the Blooper Reel special feature, he was greeted by a screen telling him: 'This disc is intended for rental purposes and only includes the feature film. Own it on Blu-Ray or DVD to view these bonus features and complete your movie watching experience.'

Over at HackingNetflix, they have the same report from a reader who rented the disc from Netflix. The site also claims that the Netflix version of the disc for hit Disney/Pixar film Up contains no captions for the same reason.

Let's go back to a frustrated Joseph for his final thoughts:

I didn't pay $3.99 to just watch the movie itself; I paid $3.99 to rent the physical DVD for a week. To have full access to the entire DVD and everything contained within the menus. What made it worse was that Blockbuster gave me absoutely no warning that the DVD had its Special Features locked. There was no warning label or sticker or anything of the sort.

Should rental companies be alerting customers that the special features are blocked on these discs?

FBI Warns Video Camera Barbie Could Be Used For Kiddie Porn

FBI Warns Video Camera Barbie Could Be Used For Kiddie Porn: "

The FBI is downplaying a leaked internal memo that reminded field agents that 'Barbie Video Girl', which has a video camera embedded in her necklace, could be used by pervs to produce child pornography.

However, 'There have been no reported incidents of this doll being used as anything other than as intended,' said an FBI spokeswoman at a news conference. She clarified the purpose of the alert was to make sure law enforcement didn't overlook the doll while executing a search.

'Budding filmmakers, take note: Barbie doll now doubles as a video camera!' reads the copy on the Mattel website advertising the toy. 'Girls can record and play back clips with this multi-tasking doll, which has a video camera built right in. Capture everything from a doll's-eye-view, then watch it instantly or upload to your computer. There's an LCD screen on Barbie doll's back, and a camera lens hidden discreetly in her necklace. Talk about making movies in style!'

In a statement released to the press, the doll's manufacturer said, 'Mattel products are designed with children and their best interests in mind. Many of Mattel's employees are parents themselves and we understand the importance of child safety -- it is our number one priority.'
