Nobody likes getting socked with a charge for going over a monthly wireless data cap. And thanks to changes made by the nation's two largest carriers, those days may be over forever.Earlier this summer AT&T and Verizon said they'd eliminate charges for customers who bust their data caps, in exchange for slowing service to 2G speeds. It's a policy competitors T-Mobile and Sprint have offered for years. And it's likely to be a welcome change for many customers, who cringe every month when the phone bill arrives. But are the two big carriers really offering a good deal? In this edition of Ask Maggie, I help answer that question. Dear Maggie,I have two teenagers on my Verizon family plan, a...

In mid-June, Dave Jackson bought a Frito-Lay variety pack through AmazonFresh for $10.44.

Enlarge Image Gary Hersho, Getty Images In the first published research on the phenomenon known as chemtrails, thought by conspiracy theorists to be evidence of a large-scale atmospheric chemical spraying program, a team of researchers has found that most scientists don't believe they exist. The trails of cloud left behind aircraft as they fly across the sky are caused by water vapour in the exhaust. As the hot exhaust hits the cold air, it condenses and crystallises into a cloud for a short time before dispersing. These condensation trails, or contrails, are thought by some to be the vehicles for chemicals, ...

Happy National Vinyl Record Day!You might assume milleials are the ones lining up on Record Store Day to drop coin on the latest special edition, 180-gram, splatter-paint record of the month, but you'd be wrong -- at least in the United Kingdom.According to a new study by market research company YouGov, UK music fans between the ages of 45 and 54 are actually more likely to hit record stores in search of vinyl. By contrast, the study found 18- to 24-year-olds are least likely to purchase vinyl, suggesting last year's sales explosion could be attributed to vinyl nostalgia rather than discovery. The study also unearthed two very bleak statistics that are depressing enough to make any collector...

I fell in love with music at a very young age. I can remember sitting in my parent's living room, listening to the crackle and pop that accompanied each new song, only to be replaced with a thumping drum intro or a sick guitar lick that seemed to leap from our Klipsch coer hos. This experience stuck with me through the introduction of cassette tapes, CDs and finally the current digital-music age. The convenience and quality of digital music is unparalleled, but with the recent resurgence of records -- and as any vinyl enthusiasts (and certain audiophiles) will tell you -- vinyl has a special sound that digital music just can't capture or replicate. I'm not immune to its pull; I've recent...
