I'm sorry but you are a smaller audience. As more and more people use their phone for all their web browsing and emails, a bigger screen becomes needed.
It is extremely rare that I ever utilize my laptop unless I am working on my server or doing some complex type that most users will never do on a smart phone or a computer. Gaming is really one of the few reasons to have a full blown computer.
Yep. And when they are then out of money, do we just move to the next company? Because that's not exactly something you can do multiple times to a company.
The other problem is that while it was really cool at the time, android wear has really caught up and does everything the pebble does with a wider variety of choices of watches and watchfaces.
The only thing the pebble would still lead at is battery life (assuming it's still as good as it was with the first watch.)
I don't know how many people complained abut unbundling channel packages and just picking the channels they like. You are actually taking that even further and saying they should unbundle the shows on the channels you want?
Well, they do that. It's called DVD/BluRay releases.
I bought a moto 360 watch about a few months ago and they shipped me a new one at no charge. I eventually got a charge because I never gotten around to shipping it back (even though they had given me a paid shipping label.) As soon as I saw the charge, I remembered I never returned it and sent it back. I was credited back the charge without any interaction needed on my part.
I'm not sure why people haven't figured out that businesses adapt their model whenever government tries to force something on them. Government regs usually end up hurting employees and consumers. (Obama Care - reduce everyone to under 30 hours. Raise minimum wage - see an increase in automation at restaurants. For employers to pay salary overtime - promote less people to manager and hire a few more under 30 hour employees.)
Business exists to sustain themselves and the larger ones are able to work around any regulation that comes along. The smaller ones die or get absorbed by the larger one (just look at the insurance companies and banks for examples.)
I haven't used Newegg in years. Their return policy is terrible.
If I get a defective product from Amazon, they send me a new one before asking for the return. Newegg wanted their product first, charge me return fees since it's not their fault it's defective, and charged me shipping for the replacement.
Only had to have that happen a few times to say to hell with them. Plus, their prices are not very competitive anymore.
Can we trust a private entitity with collecting information?
What difference does it make? Corruption is present on every level. In fact, I think a private organization is less likely than FBI/CIA/NSA/etc to frame evidence to get you transferred to Guantanamo Bay
The things is, you and I won't like this, but there are tons of hipsters and others that will love this feature. The next generation has no expectations or really understanding of privacy and why you would even want it.
You try talking about why privacy should be important to them, and they will basically picture you living in a cabin in the woods with no access to the internet and limited access to the outside world.

We have more rich than transgender people. Now we are having common sense bathroom laws changed by Obama to accommodate them.
So clearly it is all right to do something for a small minority at the detriment of everyone else.
No I feel like a chump - lol.
Do they support multiple addresses? My family all sign on as my brother even though we live all over the country.
Two hours? Wow! My usually take 2 days to get to me.

Are you renting/leasing this car?
> Business exists to sustain themselves
There's a missing piece that seems to regularly be skipped out by Libertarian/Conservative /.ers - businesses exist by the grace and will of society.
Don't we all?
Syndication has always been like that.
I live in Panama... Must suck to live in the "first world" lol. Seriously you guys are getting screwed. .
I have pretty good internet speed and no caps... but seriously. I wouldn't move to Panama just so I can get a faster internet speed.

I just tried it and they don't serve to the US or to Europe either.
Because in Europe, they apparently need to wait for the government to do it for them

Thank you. You made the point I was trying to make much better than I did

to ask for the refund, however, when a larger number of customers started asking for the refund, then it was no longer cost-effective.
I agree. Once of those things we lost due to other companies leaching off of them.
If that happened for every sell, then there would never be price drops.
My price doesn't go up if the cost is raised. Why should it go down if lowered?
Yep - I'm sure no one at Google thought about this. You should email them quick!
I guess if those job functions are needed again, they might. But if they're not, then probably no.

But you can get paid $15 an hour working at McDonalds! Seattle is the success story!!!
You can connect windows to your home network but deny it access to the outside world. Then you would be able to share files locally.
