So this morning I was looking into upgrading a Verizon phone and found these new phones listed.  Needless to say I was a little surprised at a $100,000 price tag.  Yes, one hundred thousand.  My source at Verizon said that they are aware of the mistake and are correcting it now, but I wonder what would happen if someone tried to order it?!

You can click on the screenshot above to view it larger and see the deets.  I didn’t modify the screenshot at all other than add the circles around the price when I snapped it.  By the way, I use PicPick for screenshots; it is free and awesome.  Check it out. 

Have a great Monday,

Ok, this post has nothing to do with Photography, per se, other than it is very, very annoying to this photographer.  One of the great nuisances of Windows has been the dreaded active desktop recovery error.  For one reason or another, either you lost power, had to hard reboot, whatever the case… you fire up Windows and instead of your beautiful desktop wallpaper (a picture taken by me…right?) is gone and only the ugly white error screen appears.  Then, you realize, “what luck!” big as day there is a “fix” button right there on the desktop!  Yay!  You simply need to click it and all will be well, right?  Yes, except for the fact that it never, ever, eh-eh-ever works and instead only returns a script error.  If you’re like me, at this point your blood is beginning to boil.

Normally I would then go through the whole routine of unhiding system files, deleting one, hiding them again, opening my registry editor, making changes, closing it and rebooting.  And to make it worse, I usually do it one step at a time to see if any step worked.  Which, naturally, does not and I end up wasting my time going through the entire process anyway.

Then, finally, after recently starting this process with my wife’s computer, it hit me.  Eureka! I realized I could automate this whole horrid affair in a simple batch file, save it and hide it away for future fixes. (continue reading…)
