That never once crossed my mind, and doesn't bother me now. I've only had my 3 for two weeks and I'm definitely happy I didn't buy a new Audi A4 instead.
Well hopefully that's the exception and not the rule. I mean you end up needing the VIN for everything (which was news to me but mine didn't change). My delivery pickup was great with the exception of sitting in the waiting room for a half hour to get my car. During my delivery date they had 100 deliveries scheduled.
Well right now charging mats require your product to be over a very specific spot. They are trying to just require you to lay your item on the mat and have it charge, no shifting it around and making sure it's in an optimum spot.
Personally I like the multi-blade disposables razors. I think I have a pack of gillete 3 blade disposables that have lasted me almost half a year. It was 7.99 for a pack of 10.
A lot of data users always looked forward to the Statistical Abstract (myself included). I hope we can revive it perhaps in a purely digital format (i know the books/CDs were expensive). We've released some apps so hopefully we can do something like the statistical abstract.
I'm excited about Apple News, only if it can beat Flipboard. I used to love it now my feed is getting filled with all kinds of garbage I'm not interested in (i.e. conspiracy theories I guess because I read articles about space?). If Apple News is just slightly better than Flipboard I'm in.
It certainly seems like for some reason (I assume the success of the game) that employees think they are entitled to more than a reasonable salary. I've worked plenty of jobs where I've received a decent salary and no perks. The one company I worked for was doing really well, I received a good salary and we received perks. No trips anywhere but catered lunches or desert bars or other things about every other month or so. Things like that show that you are appreciated, not sure where the entitlement comes from.
Honestly I just don't feel comfortable in my office. Although my chair is comfortable and ergonomic and my desk setup is very comfortable. The room isn't small but it makes me feel confined. However if I go to a more open area I feel like I can focus more.
While not a bad idea to sell the mac mini, I kind of like having it plus eventually will probably use it as a server (it's basically a media center downstairs). I suppose I can just be patient and look around for an Thinkpad X series.
I'd really like OSX but I suppose I wouldn't be really upset with Linux because of my price range. I haven't looked at Mac prices in a while but I'm assuming it would probably be a core 2 duo MacBook at best for around 200.
If a warrant was obtained with evidence that itself was illegally obtained then yes the warrant is worthless. Also that "evidence" found is not admissible as it was illegally obtained.
I think you are coming from the perspective of someone who knows the game pretty well. To the uninitiated I could see it taking a year. I remember when I first started (when the cap was 60) and it seemed to take forever for me to get there. Mostly because I went to different areas and explored, didn't level the most efficient way etc.
I'm pretty excited for the prospect of a self driving car. My commute is about 40 miles round trip not too traffic ridden but I wouldn't mind relaxing a little. I would rather telework more often than two days a week, but it looks like he self driving car is more imminent.
I don't know why seeking a connection even with anonymous people online is necessarily bad. There are a lot of people who have struggled with depression, sometimes hearing from people dealing with the same struggles can help.
I have a Town and Country and the key never really leaves my pocket. I can touch the door handle on the driver's or passenger's side and unlock all the doors. I thought of it as a novelty at first, then in real life I realized how handy it is. Maybe it's just because I have kids and my hands are usually full but I use it all the time. Also it is nice to just push one button on the door handle to lock all the doors.
>"I don't think this is about GMOs being harmful or not being harmful to your health," Ells tells The Salt. "It's a bigger picture.
That mentality is what kills me about all of this. Let's make decisions contrary to what the evidence shows. I know this is probably a smart move because I'm sure the anti-gmo movement people would love to have a company to crusade against like Chipotle. I still don't like it.
This article is really interesting to me as I just bought a John Deere (sure it is just a lawn tractor). During the course of the sale I was chatting with the salesman about their larger agriculture tractors as this store mostly does sales for farmers. He informed me about all the technological advances, soil sampling they do and data they collect and give to the farmer. Then the farmer can load this in their tractor and the sprayer or whatever attachment they are using can adapt based on the gps coordinates. So a previously identified area can be treated with a different mixture on the fly and the farmer does nothing but ride along.
The article mentions that farmers are opting for non-software based vehicles. However from the way things seemed when I spoke with the salesman it is the very opposite.
Well I think this is interesting when I try to turn off sharing my searches with Google.

I'm definitely looking to get a Kobo Glo HD. I loved my Kindle w/ Keyboard but the battery is shot and it crashes pretty often (also 4 years old). I'm not tied to the Amazon eco-system per se so I'm ok with going to Kobo.
Well it's more like private security. People don't pay much attention to this mainly because stealing is bad in most people's eyes. People are not so concerned if it's actually legal or not to detain someone and basically blackmail them.
Well if you plead guilty you are saying you are guilty. You are correct there could have been a deal struck and it was just better in the end to not take the chance in court.
This is interesting. We currently only have Comcast cable available and I just found the contract online. Looks like it was created 2001 and has a 15 term on it. Ok now I'm reading it more and it's a "nonexclusive cable franchise" but I don't know if that means other people can come in here.
My father in law works really remotely in PA. He gets about the equivalent of 3g phone speeds. I have found when I'm visiting it's not super reliable, that issue may be the router though.
I have been thinking for a while about how it's kind of silly to have a phone. How often do I make phone calls or receive them? Not very often. Also I generally never need it on the go, mostly make calls at home or work. There is something that keeps me from switching to an iPad or some other tablet to just use to make calls and for regular surfing. Is it just nostalgia? Who knows.
It's definitely not for everyone. In my work 90% of the people I interact with are working remotely, so working from home half of the week doesn't really affect me. Not having to commute in the morning has a profound effect on my mood. I've also learned that rolling out of bed and just plunking down to work makes me less productive than getting up and showering and putting on at least some casual clothes. However I also have a wife and kids that come home after I'm done with work, so I'm not fully isolated all day.
I guess everyone just has varying experiences with different companies, plus you certainly will hear bad experiences more than good experiences. Myself I have had nothing but great experiences with Apple products, most I have bought new some used. We still have an Apple IIci that works great. I've owned a blue iMac from 2000 which has never had hardware issue and my dad still uses it for iTunes and playing Cds. Also have a 17" iMac G4 from around 2002 that only had a logic board issue but that was under warranty. Still kind of my favorite designed iMac. I guess I would be curious to see what the fail rates are on Apple products (highly doubt they are truly available). For me they are the only company I've always had a good experience with their products and customer service and I feel like I'm pretty jaded with customer service after working in Retail for over 10 years (sporting goods and then electronics).
