That doesn't sound like much of a solution for anything.

The only way you're going to get what you want, is if you stay offline, and cancel your TV service.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Nobody is obliging you to spend hours online viewing them.

Just try putting content on the web behind a paywall, and just imagine the screams of outrage.

One wonders how they expect everything on the web to get paid for...

If I agree to pay a certain about, for a certain service, and they provide that service as advertised, why exactly am I supposed to feel any obligation to tip the person doing their job in an adequate manner?

About 5 years ago I switched from corded headphones to bluetooth when in the first week of a gym membership I destroyed 2 headphone cords by getting them caught on equipment.

I would never look back now. BT is by far a better solution.

Among other things I get 6 cases (12 ea) of SoBe LifeWater, and 3 cases of Ocean Spray Pact water delivered, because it's easier than going to the store myself. Getting them brought nearly all the way home, a variety of flavors, and a good price. It's a clear win for me.

Every month I am amazed at what stupid new tricks Amazon comes up with to make sure they lose money on the transaction. Aren't they supposed to be logistics geniuses? The order I get from them is routinely split into multiple shipments, sometimes multiple shipments on the same day, from the same Amazon warehouse 10 miles away. The most recent order included 2 of the cases being shipped via UPS instead of Amazon delivery even. That can't have been profitable.

That fine is so small, it could be paid of of petty cash at a startup.

I remember several years back, someone was working on running a new fiber cable between Chi and NY, that was a literal straight line. Or as straight as absolutely possible, in order to shave milliseconds off of communication times between the cities.

I'm sure the race to shave times hasn't slowed, since 2010.

A year or two back I posted a review of a food truck that was positive about the product, but negative about some of the business practices of the truck. The vendor complained to Yelp, and they pulled the review because it wasn't just about the product itself. Business practices matter as well, at least they should. And the ease that the vendor had in getting a negative review turfed tells me that nothing on Yelp is to be trusted at all.

When they started "season 5" they said it was going to be in 2 halves, they've always referred to the last 8 episodes as being part of Season 5. So if someone bought a "season pass" for 5, they should have expected to get ALL of season 5.

At least people that bought the DVD/BluRay from Amazon could see exactly what they were getting, when they ordered the "season 5" disc. It clearly didn't have the second half of season 5 included.

The 3d doesn't actually add ANYTHING over a flat map, sadly. :(
