I went the whole of 2011 without drinking. The only difference was my wallet was fuller and I probably had a slightly better immune system. The hard part was being at social events where for the most part I was the only one sober. I found I

It wasn't explained how the crims got the pin number after he entered them into his phone. I assume because each number on the keypad has a unique tone, they could extrapolate which keys were pressed? Also how did they get his phone nu

Im sure PG is right on this for the most part, but some days I am un-optimistic about this. It seems like the big tech companies will cannibalize (buy out/take the talent off the market) or move into the same space as a startup that ha
