Not everyone does, but many do. Also, if he had left it at, "I don't understand why" then he would have successfully maintained the fog of possibilities and both parties could continue playing the vague game. Instead he posit

I'm curious what your defense is to their success with the non-Apple faithful, though. That always seems to be left unsaid. The good ol' common "marketing" play from the Android diehards may have accounted for some of it

Did you read my comment? What numbers would you suggest to be displayed that are also bill friendly? 11, 21, and 41? That requires a minimum of two bills. Again, the "other payments" button is fairly prominent...

Like every other for-profit company on the planet? There's a measurable difference between the bonus and no-bonus option, and in this case, that's 5%. That is the offer. Given the option between the two, I'll take the bonus

I can't edit my original reply anymore, but after checking out the machines for myself in person, I really do think the author only outsmarted his own OCD. You can refill your card with a credit card with any value greater than or equa

It's free in the sense that they don't have to offer that at all. Obviously there is some kind of attempt at profit in the system on the MTA side of things. I'm not really sure how your argument would work with my unlimited c

I'm a little skeptical of the arguments made by this article, even though I really enjoy the enthusiasm behind it. I've been using an unlimited for almost always, so I'll have to verify the refill options at the machines, but

I've had mine for about 4 years now and it's fine. Perhaps you weren't emptying the tank often enough, which is when it fills about half way for whatever reason. Otherwise, no idea, sorry. Having said that, I was expecting wo

That's a very good point, but I think that would double or triple the length of any episode to delve into such details. Which is not exactly bad - one could just have less species introduced and more over arching story lines. But for t

Not really going to address your rant, but just wanted to point out that we can and do have better scaling algorithms in web browsers. Works pretty well on safari osx and safari ios. As far as I can tell, it passes his test, which seems to

Eh, that seems a bit of a simplification. If by "we", you mean, the "West", then sure. But if not, as one of the maps alludes to, China was busy building its own empire, and in many respects, in terms of local cultural i

I agree Google support is awful, but if I'm reading this correctly, he named one of his apps "Vice TV." He sounds pretty naive if he thinks he can get away with that. I don't buy it either. I think he intentionally playe

I agree with some of your points (and have also forced friends to do double blind tests on their shiny new toys), but the problem is the price point. I'm not an audiophile either, but for $200, it better justify itself. To me, $200 is

If I had to guess, they just pulled the title from the title field of the page. Nothing to get knotted up about, though.
