Southwest Idaho here. Haven't filled my windshield fluid more than once since I moved here 8 years ago... Very little rain. Very little muck on the roads. Minimal bugs. Park car in the garage every night. When I lived in the Northeaste

And then Netflix killed Blockbuster and Amazon killed Barnes and Noble (well almost)... So the cycle continues! Just when you think nothing can uproot a company, something more innovative/convenient comes along.

Can you clarify if this was just typical UPS/Fedex deliveries through Amazon or Amazon Courier service?

Are you aware of Musks overall goal of using economies of scale to get down to an affordable 'every mans' car model? Anyone that thinks they could have rolled the manufacturing to accomplish this out from day one (not having ever

Is Bluetooth discouraged on airplanes? I thought it was just the cellular transmission that is limited in airplane mode.

I've never seen Apple backtrack on a decision this substantial. They've weighed all the outcomes, far more than we will probably ever understand and they will not reverse course here. Far more likely, the rest of the industry will

I kind of doubt Apple would retain legacy support for the iPad just because they have the space. If they are pushing a lightning/wireless future, they are probably planning to deploy/force that future on their entire device line.

This has been out for years now yet the title is written as if it were just released. Is this just blatant promotion or is there something I'm missing about this story?

Yeah at a certain point. But kids at a young age need regulation. If I didn't regulate my 2 year old she'd sit plastered to a screen for half the day. The thing about tv, smartphones etc is that they are incredibly addictive and I

I think people are underestimating the number of people that are unhappy with the typical American life they've been given. Since the article stated that he doesn't intend this to be a Mormon only community, I could easily see the

Not sure if this is meant in a positive way or negative way... If negative, I'd say, an idea-man with the funds to see his ideas through to completion isn't your typical Hey I have an idea, want to build it for me for rev share

I think its disingenuous at best to say this is the reason most people watch NASCAR... I only know a few die hard NASCAR fans myself, but they are far more interested in the technical skills of the drivers than seeing someone potentially ha

That's true, that particular IP makes extra sense on mobile devices. I think the number of individuals now in the category of having plenty of disposable income but not necessarily having the time/drive to buy Nintendo's dedi

I think this is just a glimpse at Nintendo IP's potential on mobile. They've kept their IP's very close to their own hardware until recently.

While I greatly appreciate Tesla pushing this technology out in a reasonable time frame, I do feel that they let their marketing speak trump safety by referring to this technology as Autopilot. I don't doubt that they intend to eventua

Why should they though? This is their monteization strategy and it seems to be working well for them. Why should they provide a platform free of charge for Spotify to make money off of? After all, they are only charging for Spotify customer

I read a comparison on another forum that I thought made sense... Consider Apple is Walmart and Spotify is wanting to sell their product in Walmart. Is Walmart going to take a cut? Of course they are! What if Spotify asked Walmart to give t

Personally, I purchased all the seasons of Daniel Tiger on iTunes so that we can watch them offline when in the car on our tablets/iPhones. I have no doubt we have already gotten enough mileage out of them to be a worthwhile purchase.

As far as I've read and understand, Apple isn't preventing Amazon from releasing a video streaming app on the AppleTV. Amazon is the one that has been playing hard ball, removing other streaming devices from their store and not re

All of these issues sound like they should be fairly easy to resolve with the tech. The unit should have an internal map of the company and know where each employees desk is, you shouldn't have to manually drive it around an unknown of
