I'm a big fan of Yodlee, but their mobile apps are worthless. I've used Mint before, and most people seem to like them (especially their mobile apps) but for some reason I have an easier time with Yodlee.

I don't see how you'd even be able to do this. Wouldn't they have to pay minimum wage? I imagine the DOL would come down pretty hard on them.

I've used Uber since they showed up in Seattle, and was a big proponent of it. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of issues with the estimated eta being off by 20 minutes or so, which has led me to start using other services (Lyft, s

I expect it's a combination of not having time during polling hours or not being able to make it to the polling place easily. Since moving to Seattle, where ballots come automatically in the mail for everything other than primaries, I

Yep. Lack of Google Apps was a complete deal killer for me, even withstanding the price. I felt the same way when I tested out a Kindle Fire tablet (opted for a Nexus 7). You'd have to pry my Kindle reader out of my cold dead hands

They just recently released it for the phone. Go through their shopping app and it should prompt you to get it all set up. It's kind of janky, you have to use the shopping app to find the movie and then it kicks you into the standalo
