Okay, so say you switch banks. How do you have ANY idea if your new bank is better or worse? Are you going to ask customer support? They barely know how to access your account let alone the technical layout of their data centers.

This is probably much more difficult and taxing. On every signup, you're now checking MX records and IP's, not just looking at a string. And Mailinator can change this information regularly too if they choose.

My HD light on my laptop still flashes endlessly. I wish it flashed brighter when it was doing more work, letting me know the resource intensive task I just initiated was happening... in some way. But the grind of the hard drive when someth

When we sold our house, we found an agent who was also his own broker. We paid him $500 and he did exactly this. Gave us the forms, put the house in the MLS showing a buyer-side 3% commission, and then made a note that we were representing

Unhappiness. I find myself constantly drifting toward entertainment. I made mobile games for about 4 years, and now I run an escape room business. I guess I'm trying to get rid of sadness one small bit at a time.

Makes you wonder why they took the risks at all when special effects are so good that nobody needs to do such things anymore. Maybe they actually made a mistake by getting the scenes so perfect.

It's interesting because we were just discussing this around the Thanksgiving table yesterday. My mother says she has been thinking of buying a laptop for a year and spent time online but has no idea. My mother-in-law said that she is

I think there's a problem with this model however. When the highest bidder wins, consumers and advertisers can lose, big. I understand how DDG has to say this is the best and smartest way to do things because they have to live with the

Interesting. I switched to the new Gmail, and I actually can't remember what the old one looked like already. I'm sure Google will do just fine ignoring all these requests and their billion+ users will adapt.

Our kids' school supply list for the last couple of years has included: USB mouse and headphones for the Chromebooks. Yes, kids can use a mouse far before Kindergarten. I remember my kids playing PBS Kids games with a mouse when they w

Well, sometimes. But a lot of industries suffer from too many people poorly executing ideas. Makes it even harder for the "good guys" to catch a break, acquire, and keep customers. Some examples are SEO, entertainment, and mobile

I don't think many people are going to share their idea unless they are sure it's not something that can be hacked together in a week. It would be interesting to also see people simply saying "I do" and maybe the "s

Your life sounds like a script for a romantic comedy movie. Unfortunately, I think most of this is far from real for most parents.

I have no idea in regards to lemonade stands. But I do think that rules and laws have made for a more civil society, it's just a matter of keeping up with change that's become a problem. More guns, more violence, more media, more

We have local police perched around our neighborhood probably once or twice a week. In our little niche of the USA it's almost like nobody cares. Cops seem to just hand out some warnings or flash their lights. I've even called pol

We have rules in place for a reason, so we can live in a civil society. Also, in this case, so people don't get sick from drinking contaminated beverages. There are safe places to have a business located, and on the corner of a neighbo

Love the idea of a phone not making noise if its owner is a certain distance away! It also stops eavesdroppers and prying eyes who go over and press the home button to get a glance at who's texting the lonely phone sitting on the count

I keep hearing people say that other people think things should be free. Yet, I can't think of a single time I've ever heard someone actually say that, or read something that said "this should be free." Rarely does anyon

I think there's a difference between the drive to work and a commute. A commute means that you're in your car maybe 45 minutes to 2+ hours each way every day. So, biking probably isn't a viable option - especially in areas wh

Personally, I don't find learning to program new things as much fun as I did when I was 13-20. I would learn assembly, c++, basic, etc, all from books I got from Hastings or the local computer store. I didn't know if what I was d
