Optometrists (I have a few in my family) generally are more concerned with eye health. This device isn't any more of a threat than the eye care chain stores (ValueVision, LensCrafters, etc) and the cheap-glasses websites are. Many people st

YouTube will not move away from Flash until they figure out how to get adwords to display with videos outside the Flash player. I also think this contributed to them dropping h.264 and that they might be working on a WebM player that suppor

This really isn't that uncommon. When forced to choose between easier customer support or ostensibly better security practices, easier customer support usually wins. Stolen passwords through email/eavesdropping are rare enough that they can

The real problem is that there's not really a term for what we do. Package Manager (or Software Manager)? Seems like a Windows analog to Apt. Googling windows package manager leads me to something called Npackd that looks similar to you

An "absurdly high" price is $15? Also I'm not so sure the DRM has much to do with the app's success. I found pirated versions easily.

Google, while not perfect, has been more consumer friendly in handing privacy issues than Facebook has. They allow adblocking in Chrome, they allow you to export your data from their properties, they allow you to delete your account, etc. A
