In our Internet-reliant world, it is curious to note which companies are trying to rip the other ones off. So far, it looks like Google is winning. If not them, then Wal-mart. I know that there are more Google rip offs than can be mentioned, but here are just a few.

You may recognize PC, who is actually named John Hedgman, from the new Apple Switch Campaign in this hilarious section on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He explains how the telecoms are trying to screw up the internet by making it a caste system of sorts.

I’ve been plagued with jammed printer queues. Sometimes I try to cancel a 50 page mail merge or even a 2 page document and the printer just ceases. Until now, the method that has worked is to stop the print spooler, and then clear the print spool out and then restart the spooler, sometimes needing a restart of the computer. Not now!

This can solve a lot of problems. I make no guarantees, though.
