   Serious question: What do these cars (with no steering wheel) do, if involved in an accident? How would the owner / police move the car to the side of the road?

   This entire episode is amazing. How did they think they wouldn't get caught?!

   "Until this incident is resolved, you might be unable to open new support tickets with us." Maybe they should host the ticket system on a separate provider?

   This. Even just 5%, compounded over decades, can turn into A LOT of savings.

   I'm currently storing my entire photo collection of about 50GB and ~20,000 photos. It cost me about $3 to upload the entire library. I pay around 50 cents a month for storage. YMMV, but I'm very happy with it.

   Another cool feature of the existing Fire TV is that you can start a music app, hit the home button, and then play a game, while listening to the music app. Just make sure to turn off in game music.

   I don't think so. It says "Optional" for the voice remote. The new gaming remote DOES have a voice button also, though. So you may not need the regular remote.

   Keep in mind, this is the Gaming Bundle. It does not come with the standard remote, just the game controller. They also sell the Fire TV, with the normal voice remote for $99.

    I own a FTV, and I love it. You can side-load anything you want, as long as you can find the .apk file.

    There are Glacier clients that allow you to manage the "Restore Speed" so you don't get hit with ridiculous price hikes. Glacier is PERFECT if you just need to restore a photo or document, and not the entire repo.

    I think we will need to find another way to support sites. Allowing a random 3rd party to run untrusted scripts on my system is not the answer.

    I've heard some Ad networks are asking clients to setup reverse-proxys, so they can make the image APPEAR to come from same origin. It's getting crazy!

    Who counts the impressions, to pay the ad client?

    I think adding "Limit: One rental per day" would have solved this problem.

    How difficult would it be for another robot company to build similar technology? Patents are also most likely an issue.

    Exactly. As soon as they removed FB messaging from the app, I simply removed it, and use the mobile site.

    Another very happy Ting.com customer here. We paid $150 a month for our 2 smartphones on Sprint. Now we pay $50 a month for both on Ting. Sure, we use wi-fi as much as possible. Our data use is 1gb per month. Could not be happier saving

    I could not agree more. I also have a Brother Laser, and it's been rock solid for years. Inkjets were always a waste of money, ink, and time!

    Reminds me of my Brother Printer/Fax/Scanner. Once ANY of the 4 ink carts is empty, you can no longer do ANYTHING. No scanning to a SD card, no outbound faxes, etc, until you replace the ink. Of course, there is a simple "t
