This isn't Mexico.
Ebola is not spreading from contact in restaurants, schools, or businesses. It is precisely from staying home (which is a sentence of death by starvation in the countryside), in contact with an infected family member, and/or handling the infected corpse without a bunny suit, gloves, and a face shield, none of which are in stock at the (non-existent) local CVS / Home Depot / Target, that the pandemic is spreading.
Why should I pay them for what amounts to a Point-of-Sale terminal, then have to sign with and pay AT&T for the means to connect it?
AMZN already has "free" 3G via WhisperNet for Kindle; why can't they just act as a reseller for air/data time?
What I thought should happen when AMZN announced a phone was that you would buy it for a nominal amount, and your AMZN purchases would generate airtime credits:
Buy something, get a percentage of the purchase price converted to minutes/megabytes. Of course, you could always 'buy' more mins/megs, but if you're trying to drive consumption of your other products, it seems straightforward to make the means to do so a reward for the behavior you want.
I pay VZ $20.00 per year to keep my aged mother's VZ email address active. The only thing harder than having her change her email address would be to get all of her (aged) contacts to update their address books...
Because that would require planning for, designing, and implementing security as a first principle, rather than just making sure the phone app has pretty glowing buttons.
I'm not saying that these things must be insecure, just that most of them currently are insecure.
That's the whole point of TFA. A lightbulb will hand out the WiFi credentials to anything impersonating another lightbulb.
No need to crack WPA, just hop into the mesh network, announce that you're a lightbulb, and the keys are handed to you.
So, your lights, thermostat, lawn-watering controller, swimming pool monitor, and eventually your TV and your refrigerator become attack surfaces that roll over just by looking at them and saying "please".
Erm, no, it doesn't. The LIFX bulbs establish a wireless RF mesh network amongst themselves. This isn't X-10.
The bulbs don't have to be on the same circuit, or technically, even in the same house.
"Unlike video-on-demand services, Aereo does not provide a prearranged assortment of movies and television shows. Rather, it assigns each subscriber an antenna that — like a library card — can be used to obtain whatever broadcasts are freely available. Some of those broadcasts are copyrighted; others are in the public domain. The key point is that subscribers call all the shots: Aereo’s automated system does not relay any program, copyrighted or not, until a subscriber selects the program and tells Aereo to relay it."
If he had the mind-numbing and soul-crushing job of checking sites for porn, a low-paid employee might find it easier to just type the URL into SmartFilter's check page, and copy what he found there. That would explain the more-than-chance overlap of mistakenly blocked sites.
..since my Yahoo (junk) mail account was hacked a couple of months ago. I am certain it was because I used by Yahoo credentials to post a comment on a popular 'news' website (**cough**Slate).
I changed my PW to a machine-generated chunk of gibberish, and turned on 2-factor ID.
Really, it's the only way. Pay them to do the work. It will cost you at least $3-5K per household.
The only alternative is to go to your locality's cable commission, and find out if/when the cable provider's license is up for renewal. Make 100% coverage a non-negotiable requirement for renewal.

You've got water ice and methane, you're gonna get hydrates. I'm guessing it boils off in the warm season.

Best of luck when they continue to bill you...

There's other things besides hipness to consider when moving.
I'm still waiting for the prez to make good on his net-neutrality pledge, not to mention closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay...
1. Introduction of the Osborne I portable.
2. Introduction of the Sony 3.5" floppy disk (875K!).
Just feed them cat food, it's their favorite.
Only on the rafts, if properly deployed. EPIRB transmitters.

Really, putting a locks on cockpit doors was just about the right response.
Isn't this sort of thing its reason for being?
You should be complaining to the Postmaster General, not AMZN.
