Did you ever consider giving them some fucking money for that service?
Did they ever consider charging for it?
Yes, actually, I would pay a subscription for this, I think it would be worth about $5/month (to me) to keep me from synchronizing manually. If there were another provider (or Xmarks) that would offer this, I would subscribe. Unfortunately, I was not part of their marketing analysis, and I have to trust that their sample size included others that did indicate this as well.
Thank you for your well-considered (if inconsiderate) question.
Aside from happy hour, shouldn't we discuss power delivered on the specific signal spectrum instead of "bars"?
I've always kind of smirked at folks discussing how many "bars" they have.

Blaming cell towers and cell phones seems to be en vogue, but I don't see a lot of peer-reviewed entomology articles supporting this (yet).
Read distance measured in microns, magnets, heads, cylinders, normal forces, weight and my favorite, impact functions - all of these seem like great reasons to move to SSD.
1000 (or more) rewrites is a scary limit for the SSD route, but I like the idea of walking around with my laptop on and not worrying about drive failures (as much).
Take this for what it's worth, but I was at a conference a couple years ago and the VP of Intel's desktop support division said that 30% of his problems with laptops were solved by requiring folks to wait for the drive to spin down after hibernating/shutdown operations and before shouldering the laptop. Even if the number seems somewhat inflated, it seems like good advice for anyone with a "conventional" hard drive.
