Inquisitr reports that one of [...]

DURHAM, NC — No organization publishes comprehensive information about how many people have their personal information stolen each year, though some estimates place the number at more than 8 million in the United States alone. With the holiday season in full swing and the economy taking a turn for the worse, identity theft is expecting [...]

We all know about Black Friday: the day after Thanksgiving that traditionally marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season in America. Tons of deals are unveiled in brick-and-mortar stores throughout the country to lure people inside. Doorbusters and generally reduced prices help to kick the holiday shopping season off.
Cyber Monday, then, is the Monday [...]

Well, actually, as much as we like online shopping, we are not necessarily fond of every holiday neologism [...]

I’ll be honest, I’m not the most enthusiastic shopper. I don’t like going to the mall. Once I find a shirt I like, I will purchase one in each color and two in black to extend the time in between shopping trips.
But if there’s one thing I always fall for, it’s customized products. An iPod [...]

When it comes to online shopping, I’ve realized that my mom isn’t really seeing the whole picture. Sure, she’s learned to order her running shoes online so that she can save money. We’ve set up online banking so that she can easily pay all of the bills electronically, saving paper and minimizing piles [...]

Just a few short years ago, even the most internet-savvy consumer would have been hesitant about buying anything other than a computer online. We all love to be able to thoroughly inspect things before we buy them (granted, half the time [...]

The 4th of July has come and gone, and we all know what that means — summer is half-over. It’s always at this point in the year when I realize how much I need to start appreciating the benefits of warm weather, time with friends and family, and extra hours of sunlight. But [...]

According to a study completed within the last year, purchases made by women accounted for more than eighty-five percent of all consumer expenditures. Yes, it’s hard to believe, but women shop more than men. But the real question is why? The answer may surprise you.
