Flawed Registration Systems
In the latest MacUpdate Promo, there are a number of programs I've never heard of and some that are big name products. I purchased the bundle, downloaded the applications, and started registering them. Developers have chosen different methods for registering their products. There are a few types of schemes that are being used:

New California City
Last week I was reading in the paper that the local water authority released another $450,000 in consumer rebates; this was after the rebates for the entire month of May were allocated in the first 1.5 hours that they were available. (I had called the first day and tried to get a rebate for the new washing machine we need.) I quickly got online, applied for the rebate and presto, my rebate (up to $135) was allocated! I got the paperwork and discovered that I needed to send the paperwork to a new California city, Sacremento. You'd like that the government that administers this rebate could proofread its web pages.

Paperless in MacUpdate Promo!
Another bundle deal, another set of great apps! This time, however, Paperless (formerly ReceiptWallet), is part of the bundle. MacUpdate is offering a bunch of great apps. You've probably heard of most of them. This is the first time that one of my applications has been offered as part of a bundle.

Honoring our nation's fallen
Lately, it seems that the only words I hear associated with Memorial Day are "happy" and "sale". The word happy definitely doesn't belong with Memorial Day if you actually look at what Memorial Day symbolizes. It is easy to forget the true meaning of Memorial Day when you hear phrases like "the unofficial beginning of summer". Today I spent the day with my parents and my son. When I arrived at my parents' place, I saw that my dad had his flag out at half staff and then at 11 am (he had the time wrong, but doesn't believe me), he raised it to full staff. (The United States Flag Code says to fly the flag at half staff until noon.)
