It may not be stupid tax, but it's just a step down, baby. The Microsoft bigwigs have announced that they're gonna spend a billion smackers on Xbox repairs since the Xbox 360s are having problems. They won't spill the beans on what the deal is, but that's neither here nor there when it comes to the dough. They made a mistake, and now that the cat's out of the bag, they're paying for it in more ways than one.

When you find out that you're making mistakes, the best and quickest way to minimize the damage is to fix it right then. If you're taking a road trip and miss an exit, the smart thing to do is get off at the next one and turn around, not drive around like a moron for a few hundred miles. If you're spending money on debt and interest instead of investing it, then get on a budget, deep-six your bills and start your debt-free living right now. Don't wait ... do it.

No defects on this blog, jack ... so add it to yours.
