Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 BSOD

I tried hooking an old webcam to my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine.

I used it, it seemed to work fine.  I then installed Photoshop CS6 beta.

Rebooted machine, got serious BSOD.  Removed Photoshop beta, still got BSOD.

Finally figured out my webcam was killing the computer.  Goodbye webcam.

BTW - Microsoft's website says the camera is compatible, but Logitech specifically says Windows 7 is "unsupported". :(

Google+ for businesses is UNDERCOOKED

Don't like this "new" logo either... Phooey.
I've created a business page for Google+:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/102231437474261634431

That's the first thing that's wrong.  Why is it 102231437474261634431?  Why not something more appropriate?  Perhaps "http://plus.google.com/geek2therescue"?  Phooey on that.

Secondly, when adding posts to the business page - even from the computer, it defaults to a personal post.  WHY?

No iPhone app support for business pages.  They're apparently working on it, but who knows when they'll finish... Phooey.

4G?!?!?! Really? Phooey

So apparently Apple buckled to AT&T's marketing department and changed what on Monday showed up as 3G to 4G, despite a complete lack of 4G coverage in my area.
