    Picture Rotation

    It is compared to using something like Irfanview that can rotate the image by pressing the R or L keys and save it without having to fire up Paint and any of its AI accoutrements.

    You seem to have whacked the tabbed as well now. Success is yours! edit: Spoke too soon. Inline ads are not showing up in this thread, but are appearing in others. The tabbed ads are appearing intermittently as well. There's also an in-line "half-height" version of the larger "5 second...

    Gas Price Info With National Gas Temperature Map

    A veritable rocket launch. Salem has gone up 5 cents while RP has gone up 14. Today's prices are $3.059 and $3.459. Valero pulling out of Benicia must be having an impact.

    If the Intuit transition to the Software as a Service (SaaS, cloud-based) pattern continues, it won't be long until you can no longer install the software on your computer.

    Turbo Tax

    The motivation to e-file in my state is that if you want expedited refunds, e-filing is the only way to get them. Paper returns seem to require considerably more time to process. This is critically important for those who use their tax refunds as a budgeting tool to pay off holiday bills.

    T-Mobile (Gov't?) bill taxes increasing

    Not really. "Resort fees" usually separate amenities (pool, gym, Internet, office facilities, "free" breakfasts) from the price of the room itself. It isn't so much a hidey-hole for raising the advertised price, though I imagine that it does insulate the facility somewhat from the ravages of...

    It should be noted that these e-files are for Federal returns only. State returns, where required, demand an additional investment. HR Block offers the same structure but charges 50% more ($37.50 vs $25) for state e-filing. Those who use online services may pay anywhere from $0 to $69 for...

    T-Mobile (Gov't?) bill taxes increasing

    This is a well-traveled trail of adding fees to cover the cost of not upping the plan (or package) price. That the various "cost recovery" fees were allowed in the first place seems an obvious concession to allow the establishment of these slop fees on top of "forever price" service plans...
