  1. Earlier too! on 'Black Friday Is Dying' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems like craziness starts earlier each year. It used to be on Thanksgiving day, but now shoppings starts on Thanksgiving eves. So no more hungry family gatherings for those times for the shoppers. :/

  7. Same for DRM. Frak it.

  8. That is why I try free samplers and test without network connections if they are non-Internet softwares. I can understand if the softwares need Internet, but not for the offline ones that do not need Internet. If these non-Internet softwares do not work without Internet, then I try to avoid them. I also block many softwares with the firewall outbound rules. I lock them down! I might allow if they need to be activated online, but I block after! I avoid those online subscriptions and DRM services too! Frak them!
