Getting "grilled" doesn't affect anyone one bit whatsoever. It's just another day at the office, you're just sitting in a different room.

Then how would you be able to reset your password? All I'm saying is that any service that allows password resets shouldn't have passwords at all.

I was. I refuse to use "/s" though.

That's a moot point if you can't tell the difference or if the one that was pre-ground ends up tasting better in a blind taste test. I agree, however, that the freshly ground one should taste better.

Thanks for pointing out how poorly this question is worded.

I think it's pathetic when people complain about something and continue to use it. That's why companies are allowed to get away with so much bs.

For me comfort is all about leg room and has nothing to do with the chairs themselves. I don't want my knees touching the chair in front of me. If better designed chairs means more leg room, then I'm more comfortable.

Why should he? I don't have a Facebook account and yet people post pictures of me without my consent.

I agree completely. Being able to say things out loud and have things happen is cool I guess. However, that doesn't mean I want to give all my data away and it to be stored in some black box on the Internet. I want control of my data.

Is this going to be the new trend? This is worse than Facebook with Onavo.

It makes no sense. Why do I need a separate app to view a web site? That's right. I don't. I always have to switch the the desktop version on my phone. They had to go out of their way to hinder their mobile web site and make it na

Does it bother anyone else that this is a phone app only? Why can't it be a normal web app? One of the bad habits people have is being glued to their phones. And the permissions it requires seem pretty skeptical as well.

Exactly. Why does quitting smoking have anything to do with employment? Is this solely because of how health insurance usually works in the US? I'm so tired of apps wanting to give my data to other people.
