I like to report about good experiences I have with companies. Here is another story.

The other day I ordered a digital camera from Costco.com that included a free 2 GB memory card. Because I was not paying attention, I did not bother to read how to get my free 2Gb memory card. I assumed the memory card was automatically included but I really was supposed to add it to my cart during checkout. Completely not aware of my blunder, I received an e-mail from a person named Kyle at Costco. The e-mail explained how I screwed up my order but said not to worry, Costco had taken the liberty to add the free memory card to my order. The memory card also had to be sent out seperate from my order which means Costco had to pay more for shipping. Costco: Whenever I need to buy something, I will look at Costco first.

Engadget reports the military is testing autonomous robots so that they can be used in battle. Supposedly, these robots given the use of the term "autonomous," will be able to fight on their own and tell the difference between civilian and military targets. Notice I call them both targets… I have no clue if this is possible. Given what I know about current technology, this is not possible; but given our military with unlimited resources, this technology could be on the horizon. Skynet is on track to become self-aware as soon as these babies go online!

I don’t like to admit it, but I am a Coca-Cola drinker. Yes, I know it is not exactly healthy but in moderation, drinking Coca-Cola is something I can’t live without. Not too long ago, my girlfriend and I purchased two bottles of Coke from an Electronics store when both of us were disgusted by the taste. I could not believe it! The taste of the Coke, in combination with it not being cold enough was just bitter and gross. Since I like Coke so much, I decided to let Coke know about their little mishap. I never had any intention of getting a free coke, I just wanted to let them know that they may have had a bad batch and I did it via email from their web site.

Today, in the mail I receive a letter from Coke apologizing for the the incident. Enclosed was two coupons for 2, 2 Liter bottles of any Coca-Cola product. I originally bought 2, 20 oz. bottles so this is a little nice bonus. You can click on the image to view a bigger picture of the letter.
