   Does this only affect 2G/EDGE for the most part? Because I know that T-Mobile falls back on 2G more often than AT&T does. The only time I’ve been on 2G with AT&T in the last few years was going through the BART tunnel in South

   I think this is part of the reason why programming/computer classes can be more engaging… since you’re doing more than just sitting the entire time. (probably reading reddit, etc.)

   Well, everyone's downvoting me, but I swear I never noticed this until Yosemite. Either way, the weird thing is that if you go to the Window menu and hit Task Manager... you can monitor extension CPU usage, etc. I never had a problem u

   AFAIK this has only been a real problem since Yosemite. I noticed it when running the GM Candidates but never saw it in Mavericks.

    Nice! I’m sure Japan and South Korea would be awesome early deployment targets since nearly everywhere has such blazing fast internet to use as a backbone.

    Agreed. When I'm in NYC I calculate this as if I want to get to a zero balance like the OP did.

    Technically this is illegal, as far as I know. You're not allowed to work in Japan without a valid visa. If they find out that you're working in Japan on a tourist visa you might not be allowed back. It'd be a grey area (also

    Got it. But if you say "don't allow pairing" they're SOL from a software perspective? I find that hard to believe... but either way, who knows really.

    It was the only one available that Google doesn't penalize or geotarget. I agree the Microsoft connotation is odd but if the project is a success we'll be able to acquire another domain.

    The App does somewhat offer a solution to getting users to switch to new platforms through notifying you when your contacts are engaging in a new service, ie. "Joe, Matt, and 4 others just added Yo to their profile." That sort of
