> $1.50 - Apple’s in-app purchase fee (currently, 30% of subscription cost under Apple’s terms, subject to change by Apple) Their revenue breakdown wording is interesting. It implies Apple could change their 30% cut, which is always poss

It does not need to be illegal. It's not ideal 2FA, but it does not need to be legislated away. Apple has a second factor system where you can authorize a new device using another Apple device. While this is convenient, not everybody

Comcast is awful. We have comcast in the bay area, but we get constant outages throughout the day making the internet service extremely unreliable. AT&T DSL isn't a real contender to Comcast cable, so Comcast is the only realistic

This page is not working well. As I'm trying to read the bottom of the article, it keeps jumping to the page top. As for the content, it doesn't seem newsworthy to me. PokeGo players know that your Pokemon will stay in a gym for a

This is true. I don't trust Amazon's products to be the best, but their return policy & customer service is miles ahead of any competition. I've tried buying from non-Amazon places recently, but their shipping (and even r

It seems like a risk with Google too. It's common to be logged into Google/Gmail with multiple Google accounts. Even with separate Google accounts, Google can tell they are related and could potentially ban them too. A quick web s

I agree. Glass was a horrible design choice for a remote. I'm glad they are moving to aluminum. In my house, we have two 4K TV remotes with broken glass. Not safe, and the worse part is the replacement cost of the remote is typical App

One solution as a consumer is to buy from a place you trust. It would be nice if there was a version of Amazon that didn't have 3rd party sellers and only consisted of reputable (verified supply chain) products. Since Amazon is not pro

I agree, I try to use Target or Walmart's websites to buy direct from them (and their supply chain) when I don't trust Amazon's risk of getting a counterfeit. I'm not looking for 3rd party sellers. Amazon seems to have t
