Luxottica also wholesales their frames to independent retailers -- so even if you're not buying the frames at their stores, or buying their sunglasses at Sunglass Hut, you're still paying for their product. They're also quit

You'd be surprised: when I worked in retail, I was told that the sunglass stands in the theme parks were 3 of the the top five grossing stores at the time for the luxury sunglass brand that I was working for. Admittedly, this was...a

Out of my sample size of 1, I didn't take either of my devices -- my work phone or my personal phone -- to defcon or Vegas when I went last year: they didn't even leave my home. I bought a laptop at Staples, put Fedora on it, use

Zillow and other Real Estate sites have the same problem: Syncing Real Estate data is hard due to fragmentation (each area has its own MLS with its own rules), clashing data standards, and legal requirements (For example, I believe that Lo
