3Par bidding war

Benjamin Burrows — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:42:47 +0000

Generally I don’t care much about these acquisitions. Several times in the past though I have been disappointed with some changes such as when Site Advisor was bought by McAfee. Luckily Web Of Trust came around so I had a replacement. In general I like products from the “little guys” because I think they have [...]

Our trip to Pittsburgh

Benjamin Burrows — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:49:33 +0000

I apologize that it took me almost a week to post about it, some how it slipped my mind? We have been very busy at work and I’ve been busy at home and with the store also. First I have to say that we as a family really suck at vacations, even mini-ones. I will [...]

What is the point?

Why do these companies insist on all of these marketing gimmicks?? Sure they are effective but people that spend the time researching these items to find out it means nothing then become mad and never buy a product from you!! Now I am just going on an initial test of “Beats Audio.” I did not [...]

I’m coming Pittsburgh, you ready for me?

Benjamin Burrows — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 03:14:39 +0000

The deal is set. We have our tickets and a motel room, we are ready to roll out to Pittsburgh on Friday morning. In all honesty I was thinking of lying to you all. I am an honest person and you all know that but there are rare times when you have to conceal the [...]

Hello Pittsburgh!!

The Ben Burrows and Family Tour may be coming to a town near you! OK, maybe not to a town near you? Possibly Pittsburgh though! The Penguins are holding an Open House for the new arena 2 Saturdays from today and I am thinking of going? It isn’t written in stone yet because I need [...]

SWEET Kaspersky deal

Benjamin Burrows — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:35:50 +0000

I can’t control myself this morning, I have to let you know about a sweet deal going down over at Buy.com right now. The description is a bit vague so I’m not 100% on what you will receive so I can’t guarantee you anything. There can be problems when buying software from some sellers because [...]

Bad blogger…..bad!

Benjamin Burrows — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:19:01 +0000

I don’t know how I am supposed to make you all happy with my blog? Evidently I can’t be consistent because it has been almost 2 weeks now since my last post. How am I supposed to be a successful blogger if I sometimes don’t have time for it? The past couple of weeks have [...]

When will USB 3 take over your life?

Benjamin Burrows — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:33:50 +0000

It just finally hit me today. The thought of all thoughts, I really do NEED USB 3! I’ve talked about the new standard a few times and it appears that in an earlier writing my research was wrong? I don’t know how I did it but I apologize for the misinformation. This hit me yesterday [...]

Sad news

Kaye Cowher, wife of Bill Cowher died over the weekend from skin cancer. I offer my condolences for his loss. I couldn’t imagine losing my Amy so it must be pretty horrible. Coach Cowher was a great guy and led the Steelers to some pretty good records and games. It took him a while though [...]

Luckily storm chasing sucks in NW Ohio?

Benjamin Burrows — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 03:08:44 +0000

There were a lot of people affected in June when NW Ohio actually saw a few tornados go through the area. That night is a bit memorable because that is when our puppies were born. I knew it was going to be a late night because of that but severe weather it helped keep me [...]
