In America, insurance companies call that an "experimental procedure" and they wouldn't cover it either. Meanwhile for every case you can find for someone traveling to America, there can be an identical case found for someone traveling to E

Nope! Whenever you see an American ignorantly claiming the US as #1 in something you can safely chalk it up to American Exceptionalism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism It's a neat little ideal that helps people asser

Yeah, I had no problem with the other junk. But a "Whoops, we accidentally deleted all your stuff" in dropbox or gmail would be a tad devastating.

I can think of something worse: being the customer. I had to integrate an existing system with a product sporting a 7 figure price tag. Most painful part involved dealing with disinterested engineers who brushed off our unmet requirements

You're welcome. That's what I get for checking up on my limited unicode knowledge before posting, and then just C&Ping. Thanks.

“Scott’s primary focus will be on the core business" That's good (even though I don't know that business that refers to) because they botched the entire mobile entry. http://m.yahoo.com/w/frontdoors/ provides a decent mobile experience.
