While virtualXTC rarely trolls, this may be one of those cases.
Whether the two companies can really be lumped together is up for debate,
but they frequently provide a slick application that works very well.
Most of the automatic updates improve security and reduce bugs.
It is good to be aware that many successful commercial ventures
do take this approach, and it is even better when we keep them
honest about it. How many of us really want to give up on all
products from either of these two companies?
Thank you for digging through publictransportation.org to find the link to the calculator. The calculator does not seem to include parking costs associated with getting to public transit. While getting to a station under human power is excellent, many people with 25 mile commutes each way (APTA estimate) do prefer driving to the station. As a member of the public who prefers public transit, I want to see more rational estimates and better researched reporting on such reports.
Correction:
How can one possibly save $12,600 per year? The inflated estimates of 15,000 miles per year at only 23.4 miles and $2.039 per gallon costs only $1,310, and a high parking rate of $460 per month results in additional costs under $5600.
Complete cleaving the tether to a local machine: permit downloading files (txt, pdf, etc.) while browsing and allow access to them between apps (e.g, safari, mail, Annotater, who's going to write vi?).
Local is intended to convey that the design and manufacturing occur in the same geographic region and by a small group of people./. can give global attention to local companies located in any locale.
When calling Tom Bihn about a broken clasp on a two year old bag, the phone was answered, "Hello this is Tom." The bag was repaired quickly and free of charge (paid shipping one-way). This is a bag from a local company worth supporting.

No it doesn't. But thanks for asking.
I don't actually want the parent to my post modded that way.

As we learned on Duck Tales, no glass is ever completely unbreakable.
