Too many companies seem to place no value on their customers' time. Maytag Corp. on Feb. 1 said it was recalling 2.3 million dishwashers because of a potential fire hazard. The company, which received 135 reports of fires, urged affected customers to stop using their machines, disconnect the power, and contact Maytag to discuss the appropriate repair.

Are you feeling screwed, blued and  tattooed because the man slipped it to you? Like, stay loose,  hit the pad and share a thumb with your pash. Huh?

No doubt you&#39;ll remember the Nokia Communicator - you&#39;ve probably sat opposite some bloke in a meeting who had one, and I bet he had an air of desperation tinged with coolness about him.

He couldn't go. Curt Schilling wasn't hedging on this. He wasn't thinking maybe, or I'm doubtful, or let's see.

Tycho:  I understand he's posting these around his neighborhood, now, and I mean real Gabe, not the jpeg Gabe like you might see sur le web. If you did find it, I wouldn't bring it back to him. The most likely scenario is that he will assume that you're the one who stole it, and your "reward" will be a savage karate style maneuver delivered to your "sack of toys."

Over the last week, I've been writing about the disconnect between flow and rank. Paradoxically, sites that are ranked high don't always deliver a lot of hits when they link to you. On the flipside, there are some sites that are rarely on Top 100 lists, or talked about very much, that deliver substantial flow. Two of them stand out, one a veteran site, and the other a relative newcomer. 1. Daring Fireball is a thoughtful blog written by John Gruber that focuses on the Macintosh. Since I've returned to the Mac in 2005, and have been writing more about Mac issues, I've started getting links from this site, and when I do, they usually send between 1000 and 2000 readers my way. And they're generally interesting people with useful information and ideas. I follow Gruber on Twitter and have learned that he is a Phillies fan and therefore disappointed this year. His posts are interesting there too, and irreverent, which I like of course.  2. A Digg-like memetracker, news.ycombinator.com is in the same league as TechMeme, about 1000 hits for a highly ranked piece. I don't know much about the site, I'm not a regular reader, and I don't know much about the people who visit from this site.
