Kudos to Carbonite. Underneath the password box on their login page, they include a reminder of their password rules to help users remember what their password might be for the site.

Looking forward to more sites providing this information that we have wanted for years!

Marketers love the false dichotomy. Here I am faced with the classic dilemma for the $2 cable that I just purchased on ebay - pay $2.99 to Allstate or go out and find my own protection plan. Wow, that second option sounds like a lot of work. Maybe paying the $2.99 would be a better use of my time.

If only I could think of some third option where I don't pay $2.99 or find my own plan...

The other one I like is when you go to a website for some cause like animal cruelty. When you go to click on the X to close the browser tab, a pop-up appears with the choices of either "Donate now" or "Close tab - I don't care about abandoned puppies".

 

 

I get so many e-mails from Carbonite, but am always glad when they find a great reason to send me yet another one. Thank goodness they alerted me to their World Backup Day sale. I didn't even know about this important holiday, but now I can ask my company to add it to our annual holiday schedule. And I'll be sure to add a computer to my subscription at 30% off.

Why It's Delicious

I'm glad the Stouffer's website explained to me all the reasons that their Macaroni & Cheese is delicious. My favorite is that the trays are made with 30% recycled plastic. There's nothing like the taste of good-ole recycled plastic.
