Dish Network and AllSat
September 29, 2007
I also feel that I have been involved with a “bait and switch” tactic with the Dish Network. I signed up with the Dish through AllSat a direct reseller of the Dish network. I was clearly told that my monthly bill for the service I signed up for would be $54.99 with the HD package being free for the first 10 months. My current bill I is $74.99. The Dish network is willing to give me a $10.00 credit after many calls and asking to speak to a manager but it is still not what I was told. Lessoned learned, request everything in writing before agreeing to the Dish service or using AllSat read full review »

Dasaprakash Indian Restaurant - Santa Clara, CA
September 28, 2007
We went to Dasaprakash Indian restaurant in Santa Clara, CA for dinner. WE were a group of 8 and had lots of fun that evening. I paid the bill but did not go through the each and every item in the bill. When I got home, I found out that I was charged extra for some of the items. I called the owner, Madhu, the next day and explained that I was incorrectly charged. He said he is very busy with other customers and put me on hold for more than 10 mins. I hung up the phone and after repeatedly calling him a couple of times, I was able to... read full review »

RegCure Registry Cleaner

I have purchased RegCure Registry Cleaner in September 2006 and it worked well till its expiry of september 2007. But, after expiry when i tried to renew my license... i am unable to do so, as the required site is not opening at all. I am doubting its existence at all. And, as the software has expired and it is not yet renewed, i believe, this particular software has corrupted my registry in such a way that it is obstructing or blocking the other applications from functioning normally. I am a daytrader (stocks) and my trading software i... read full review »

Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau
September 28, 2007
His company charges my credit card $9.95 every month for a newsletter Natural Cures that I do not want nor do I receive it, yet because I ordered his book - which is a total rip-off - he has my credit card number. I do not want his stupid newsletter and I want my money back and to quit charging my account!

EA Games
September 28, 2007
All and all the game is cool, like the graphics and the expansions on Hogwarts, but there is a lot of problems. For one thing that drove me nuts was in the game when you have a task to do, Harry Ron and Hermione never shut up. They keep repeating them selves over and over and over about what you’re suppose to do. It’s not like every 5 minutes or so, it’s honestly every 5 seconds. Did the programmers do this to annoy every one really, do they constantly need to repeat themselves. I’ve played all of the other games and... read full review »

McDonald's Drive Thru - Naperville, Illinois
September 27, 2007
Hello, I was at a McDonalds in Naperville, Illinois on 75th street, and I have been increasingly perplexed as to why the entrance/exit door to the establishment is literally right next to the drive thru?? I have noticed this with some other McDonalds as well. This is very very dangerous. Why would the entrance be so close to cars, who are trying to leave??? I am sure that people, have gotten struck by vehicles because of this. This has been on my mind, and I have been seeing this same construction in many other MacDonald's. Please explain why the establishments were constructed like this. Thank you, Lisa Hull read full review »

I am a really frustrated consumer of SONY!!! I bought a Sony Home theater from Sony World, (Jeetesh Agencies!!), Aundh, Pune.
