Jay takes a 50% price cut for user information. If users are happy to pass that along for free music 5 days before anyone else then that is the cost. Most people aren't concerned by this, theyre used to it now. Not saying it's rig

Zen has been around since the 6th century, I understand from a legal perspective but it's a terrible position to be in. Its a pity for innovation that this can be done through financial means rather then hashed out between the parties.

- I don't care how much money these guys make out of this - I don't care what they do to their own bodies - I do care that they don't have any rigorous testing done before offering this to the public without disclaimers.

None of the people on the team have a nutrition background. That makes no sense to me. The body is complicated and stopping eating this diet if you feel sick doesn't necessarily mean that you won't have ongoing health problems even when you

I didnt buy it either and I haven't bought any EA games since Origin started. I figure there are a lot of other games out there from businesses I'd rather support. I am confused by people that post on forums and get outraged then buy the ga

I would so firstly to engage in discussion in this community. I take more time and expend effort when I see someone has at least some karma through adding value to this community as a signal of quality. Im sure I miss some good stuff but it
