  1. They should do this: on Remote Kill Flags Surface In Kindle · · Score: 1

    While I agree TTS on the discounted e-book may present a profit loss to publishers where the comparable audio-book is available, it should remain enabled in all other instances.
    Now, should a user purchase a book with intent for TTS and, due to a disability or other, TTS was disabled for that particular work Amazon should allow refund or purchase of the audio-book at the price difference.

  2. Re:precautionary... on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    If it's a secret then don't do it in the open.

    I have seen ATM refillers/repairs done behind a mobile screen so no one could see what was going on. If this were the case and he put his camera above the veil, or moved the barricade of cloth, then I'd say something fishy was going on.

    Any of you fellow nerds will make your laptop adhoc/an access point to share the connection if you end up buying service.

    Or take photo evidence at the counter of such.
