    I think you are right - people sometimes have too much fun with subtitles: videos from https://www.youtube.com/technologyconnections typically subtitle the jazz at the end of the videos with a relevant adjective (e.g. &#x27

    I agree. I had a Boyue Likebook and it was an underwhelming experience with its slow processor, underspecified self-draining battery, Android "support" (stuck on 6, most apps didn't run well due to the poor processor, poor ba

    True, but IME it is almost always a much better deal to use the HEB/Favor service for HEB delivery or pickup since the per-item markup is low and fixed for the former, plus it provides and allows for coupon use.

    I've received calls but by the time I pick up (between 2-3 rings) someone else has already picked up the call and is likely helping the caller. I've had the app on my phone for nearly a year and haven't yet been able to handl

    I've been on Mailbox.org for a while now while co-evaluating others. Apart from a few UI quirks and slow-ish support, the service has been rock solid and nice. It also supports push email for ios devices.
