Good examples are Google Fiber cities. Once Google announced the _intention_ to come to our city, Time Warner promised to increase our speeds 5-10 times w/o price change within a few months.

This process does not replace tax return, so I am not sure why would you compare it to filing a tax return. It's a required step to establish your paycheck withholdings. You will do it anyway. There is always a risk of penalty if you m

But this is the point. Without the credit they will not be able to afford $32.5K car. And btw, average worker makes $35K, and pays federal tax up to $3200. So their "after credit" price would be close to $30K.

Ok, so in your personal experience, what was the "margin" portion of the adjustable rate mortgage that you had? My numbers look wrong to you because you are comparing them to your APR. You shouldn't. As I've mentioned be

I am not sure where you get the rates for ARM loans that suddenly went up. Most ARM loans define the rate after fixed period as "An Index" + "Margin"(2%-3%). The rates for pre-bubble 5/1 ARM mortgages after five yea

1. If you trade your old car to Tesla, you still have to negotiate it's price. 2. I am not sure how is your opinion about price is related to the experience at the dealership. Sticker prices for all cars are available online, and you c

It's nothing like this. One has a plain-as-day pricing table with a $100 / month plan and a big blue "Buy now" button. The other company's Pricing page has $100/month plan with "Buy now" button and ad

I am not sure why the experience would be better. You always have the option of paying asking price to the traditional dealer. For some reason people that don't like to negotiate don't want to pay sticker price either.

I've bought three new cars in the last three years. In all three cases I've used following internet technology: communicate with the dealers via email to negotiate sale price, and only use dealers for the test drives and to finali

GP: "Google maps for routing when driving" Not sure what other maps one can use while driving...

No, it is not arbitrary. Grandfather specifically praised navigation UX within maps. You should pay attention next time.

Lets stay focused on Navigation within Google Maps, not some other Google products. When I am driving on freeway at 70 mph I am not interested on billions POIs. I want restaurants within 5 miles _along_my_route_. On the navigation screen li

The UX of Google maps for routing when driving is 7-10 years behind Garmin or built-in car navigation systems. Very rudimentary lane/intercharge information, no waypoints, no POIs along the route.

Why are Utilities listed under the category labeled as "surprising variety of expenses that renters do not directly pay"? Edit: I see it is just a poor labeling, explanation mentions just the portion of utilities that not covered

I would check with employer and insurance policy. But I believe legally they don't have to keep this policy active after you quit.

A lot of US employers do same. But it is not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Any case similar to OP will become problematic. When you get terminally ill you will eventually lose your job. Thanks to COBRA you can keep health

My pet peeve with Sync is they disable navigation input via touch screen when car is moving. Even when a passenger tries to enter it. Instead they force the driver to use their clunky voice-recognition to do this. Which is much more distrac
