First and foremost of all that has been written or said it is essential to draw attention to the fact that the Anti-Sikh Riots of 1984 was a catastrophic aberration, an earthquake that shook, mangled and tortured millions of people, not only in India but nearly the whole world. The Riots of 1984 will go down in history as the most shameful, disgraceful and most dishonorable event that happened in a tolerance oriented, peace-loving and democratic country.

From The You Get What You Pay For Department
During my trip a few months ago to New York City, I picked up some “I Heart NY” t-shirts as souvenirs. After some haggling at one of the hundreds of tourist shops near Times Square (cheap enough so I felt like I didn’t have to take the subway to Chinatown), I happily packed up about 10 of them, brought them home, and doled them out to family and friends. This is what they looked like after one washing: See anything missing? Caveat Emptor!

80% off Restaurant.com: $25 Certificates for $2
Restaurant.com is offering a 80% off with the coupon code SANTA, resulting in a $25 “certificate” for just $2. Offer good until end of December 25th, 2009. Despite my initial skepticism about these things, many readers responded that they indeed found these certificates very useful in savings some money. Read their comments here. Here’s how the savings math might work out. You find a restaurant on the list that you like that usually runs around $20 + tip per person (~$48 for a couple). You buy a $25 certificate for $2, which usually comes with a $35 minimum purchase + 18% required gratuity on full price. Dinner for two = $40 regular menu price Minus $25 certificate = $15 Plus cost of certificate ($2) = $17 Plus 18% gratuity on menu price = $7.20 Total price = $24.20, or $12 a person including tip $12 including tip is pretty good for a dine-in restaurant, with the primary caveat being that you find one on their list that you like (or the gift recipient likes).

FaxZero Review: Limited, But Still Free Fax Sending
In testing out my Ooma, I used the free fax website FaxZero.com to send a fax over to myself. I thought I’d share a quick review. The free service has certain restrictions. You must have it converted to Word/PDF format, up to 2 faxes a day, and a maximum of 3 pages (6 pages total a day). There is an ad on the provided cover page, but thankfully it is just a simple FaxZero ad and not some random company. Here is a scan of what it looks like. You must provide a working e-mail address, as you need to click on a confirmation links sent via e-mail to send your fax. Some users report increased spam, so be careful which e-mail you use. The fax is not sent immediately. It says it might take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on how busy they are. It took about 5 minutes for me for my fax to ring. The fax did come through successfully, and the quality was acceptable. You do get a confirmation e-mail with the subject “Your fax to XXX has been sent successfully”. Overall, I have no complaints about FaxZero since it was a free service that performed as promised. However, I did find a better free fax alternative recently at Box.net, which I hope sticks around for a while. See my Box.net Free Fax review.

Gogo Inflight Free WiFi Coupon Codes
With the holiday flying season underway and me flying out today as well, and wanted to see if I could try out some internet at 30,000 feet. Gogo Inflight Internet is now offering WiFi internet on select Air Canada, Airtran, American, Delta, United, and Virgin America flights. See here for participating aircraft. Here are some promotional codes that will provide you with one free session of GoGo. They are good once per account. However, supposedly you can sign up with any name and any e-mail address with no confirmation system (no credit card needed either with the code), it seems like they are pretty much offering unlimited free internet until these expire.

My Ooma Phone Initial Setup Experience
I received my Ooma Hub/Scout phone system from Walmart today, and it is already up and running. Thanks for your comments, and here’s was my setup experience. It literally only took 10 minutes before I was both calling out and receiving calls on my new phone number. The best part is that I didn’t have to make any tech support calls to set it up! In the box, there is the Ooma Hub, the Ooma Scout, and the usual AC adapters and ethernet/phone cables. Since we only have one telephone base with 3 handsets, I haven’t even opened the Scout yet (eBay?). Before connecting anything, you go to Ooma.com/activate and type in an 5-digit ID code from the bottom of the unit. Then you can either go ahead an pick a free phone number (check number availability) or port your existing number. Porting costs $40 or is free with a 1-year subscription to their Premium service ($120). You can just pick another number for now to test call quality, and then port later. Next, setting up the hardware is pretty simple. If you are like my household and have a cable/DSL modem connected to a WiFi router, then you simply place the Ooma Hub between the modem and the router like so: After turning everything off and then on again, wait for the indicator light on the Ooma to go from red to blue to indicate that it is ready. You then connect your phone and listen for the distinctive dial tone. If you’ve already disconnected your POTS landline, you can plug the Ooma into any wall jack and use your existing home wiring to connect additional phones throughout the house. That’s it, I was done! (Okay, setting up my free voicemail took another minute.) I like that they didn’t ask for credit card information, as I’m hoping to not pay anything ever again! Made some long distance calls and so far the quality has been good. I’ll have to use it over the next few weeks to see how reliable it is and if it interferes with my broadband internet speed. If anything, I wish I bought this thing earlier.

OptionsHouse New Commission Structure: Still $2.95 for Stock Trades
I’ve been a bit distracted lately, and was a surprised when I got this e-mail this morning about my new OptionsHouse brokerage account: Our new pricing structure is now active, so please log in and choose your new rate. If you have multiple accounts, you will need to select the rate for each account individually. If you do not choose a new rate by 4:30 pm CT on December 15, 2009, your account will automatically default to the $8.50 +.15/contract rate. $8.50 per trade? I didn’t just open an account with them for that! I went to quickly see what was happening. It turns out they are changing the pricing structure for their options trades. Stock trades are still $2.95. Here are the two options choices: They used to offer options for $9.95 flat, up to 4,000 contracts in a single order. This must be a disappointment for high-volume options traders. As for me, I’m just there for the $2.95 stock trades. From their FAQ: A general rule of thumb is that our “up to 5 for $5″ plan is most suitable for our customers who trade 10 or fewer contracts per trade while our “$8.50+” plan works better for customers who trade 10 or more contracts per trade. Both plans offer the same flat rate of $2.95 for stock trades. (plus $0.005 per share if the stock price is $2.00 or less and the stock is not options eligible).
