Just When you Think Google Controls Enough...

Just when you think Google has enough, they're granted permission to "buy and sell electricity in bulk like any other utility" by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). According to Google, they acquired this right as to gain more power for their own activities and operations. I guess it's safe to say...There is nothing Google can't do.

Don't Mess with the Boss!

Live Nation's Ticketmaster finally reached a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission for misleading Bruce Springsteen fans to buy more expensive tickets to his shows. The two reached an agreement in which Live Nation will refund all deceived customers the difference between the marked-up price and face value price of the tickets they bought.

Last year, it was discovered that Ticketmaster was redirecting fans to their other site TicketsNow.com because the Ticketmaster site contained "no tickets found" for Bruce. This redirected site then offered tickets to fans for two, three, and even four times the price of the original tickets. What's worse is Ticketmaster still had tickets available! They just LIED so they could GET more MONEY. Luckily the Federal Trade Commission caught on to their scheme.

Live Nation has gone on to report that there was a glitch in their system. I think that's what you call trying to save your ass.

I guess it's safe to say...You don't mess with the Boss when it comes to his fans
