Same. Also, Target and Walmart free shipping usually ends up being 2 or 3 days for me whereas it seems Amazon now intentionally delays free non-Prime shipping to make Prime more attractive.

Just tried it in NYC: Mac/Safari couldn't determine my location for some reason and wouldn't play. The iOS app worked flawlessly. The quality is really nice. Off to watch reruns of Hogan's Heroes...

I've actually found Apple Maps navigation when driving (though not just for looking up stuff) generally better than Google's in most of the above situations — particularly with regard to getting in the correct lane, multi-exit rou

It could be because it’s an aspirational brand (perhaps that caters to a consumer that prefers to upgrade more often) and/or the parts are more expensive relative to the residual value of the car. The Integra was a great car though ...

Exactly. If you're able to document your cancellation process using only screen recording software, you're still in the top 10% of convenient cancellation experiences.

Whenever I get hyper-repetitive ads (usually GM, Dodge, or financial products - seriously, is that all of the ad inventory in the network on some days?), it usually has the opposite effect; I just assume those companies' products and p

I have an iPhone 6 Plus that's going on 4.5 years old and it's doing fine (better than last year even with iOS 12), save a temperamental ring/vibrate switch. I recently sold my 4s that was in a drawer (about 7 years old at th

There are quite a few videos on YouTube where the owner (I assume, via an alert that the motion sensor is triggered) starts speaking though the device remotely "put that down" or "get out of here" and the would-be thieve

This reminds me of the book Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert. There's a section were he discusses how we misremember how stressful and frustrating family vacations can be, and instead remember them as being more enjoyable due t

This is the D&D I remember. Half the time we we didn't have the books accessible (basically each friend had bought a single book, so if they weren't around, neither was their book). Due to limited transportation, we spent most

To summarize the comments here... Apple sells outrageously-overpriced commodity technology, coupled with gimmicky features, buggy software, and planned obsolescence, to naive consumers who buy it every year regardless. AND Apple’s products

Oh, that's great (and now I feel validated that my feature requests aren't crazy). Google definitely seems to be ahead in layering on top of traditional telephony to fix the limitations. I've used a Google Voice number for ag

With Medicaid (in New York, at least) a provider isn't allowed to bill a beneficiary for treatment. It is such a huge stress reliever. I can't figure out how so many people continually fall for the propaganda against single payer

I've always believed that this was one of the primary motivations for Facebook separating Messenger out into its own app: it feels separate and therefore more private, without actually being either. The content of a post with privacy c

Not sure why this was downvoted as it's a valid issue. For the last 16 years I've used some kind of Mac hooked up to a stereo receiver as a media server and had a similar concern. 2002 - 2006 G4 tower 2006 - 2016 2006 Mac Mi

PR firms don't write articles for legit journalists and they certainly don't pay staff journalists at the reputable publications to write them (not without disclosing them as sponsored content). At most journalist publications spo
