Circuit City wants to be like Apple

However, support for the HD-DVD format continues to drop amongst the major motion picture companies. For instance, Time Warner […]

The NFL Divisional Playoff weekend was a tale of two days this weekend. On Saturday, both Green Bay and New England won just like they were supposed to. The big story in Green Bay was the snow and Ryan Grant running for 201 yards! In August, seriously, who thought that the Packers would be just […]

No, this is not another Star Wars blog. Although, I will tell you, I could probably write for days about the importance of Boba Fet. The rumors are true, the folks here at Cause and Effect (me) are embarking on a new mission to provide the best content about nothing! So sit down, grab a […]
