I cut my "cable" nearly 10 years ago...

Honestly, I'm not apposed to having my phone repaired by the manufacturer IF the price is reasonable and the repair process is simple and fast to initiate. The problem being, most manufacturers overcharge for repairs and/or don't repair phones that aren't covered by warranty issues. With that...

It's called humor, try it sometime... And Google probably does a lot more than you realize once you start using their APIs.

Does your company require the use of Microsoft Word? Have you thought about switching? :) I agree, if you're looking for a workers that are competent with Microsoft Office, then the resume should reflect a certain amount of competency in Microsoft Word. Our company is partial to the Google...

My wife's father passed away a couple of years ago and left us with a huge eBay/PayPal mess. The death was completely unexpected; he had hundreds of orders from eBay that we could not fulfill. Instead of dealing with eBay and PayPal on their terms, we were lucky enough to find all his login...

Considering that Tesla has only been in business for only ~14 years, it's pretty amazing what they've accomplished in such a short amount of time. By comparison, Ford and Chevrolet have been in business for over 100 years ago and they still haven't released a worthwhile EV (IMHO). I just hope...

That's what I did with mine. You could literally bridge the gap with solder given the right temperatures and some flux. Back then, I had a nice station because I was previously "modding" playstations for a friend that was selling them on the blackmarket. Some of the early mods required some SMD...

I can't wait to hear what the Führer at Intel has to say about this...

I can't watch 3D movies. Anytime there's motion, or a scene with lots of depth in it, the picture gets blurry. My eyes become tired having to focus and refocus on the content; I'm constantly having to look away. The last time I watched a 3D movie, I simply removed my glasses and watched it...

Just download the corporate/full version of FF or Chrome to a flash drive and you'll never have to worry about using it ever again :)

Our company does about $3k - $6k worth of business with Amazon each month. I would probably estimate our return rate at 2% or less overall, but there are months it's probably closer to 20% - 40%.

It's primarily about the sticker, for now. Hopefully it will evolve into the "right to repair" option for electronics... PC manufacturers use to do this. They use to put a sticker across the case or screws that said "warranty void if removed". There's a lot of legitimate reasons to open up a PC...

Shouldn't it be the owners responsibility to follow the laws and/or report taxes to the federal government? Airbnb sends a me tax statement at the end of the year. If I make more than $20K a year, Airbnb files a W9 with the federal government. Hell, Airbnb even collect a local "occupancy" tax...

I do agree that larger property owners/investors should be held accountable for hotel (like) taxes and regulations if they own and operate large amounts of vacation rentals. However, I do not agree that Airbnb or Homeaway should be held liable or accountable for this unless they are the property...

But that's where you fail to understand what Airbnb and HomeAway are. They aren't hotel chains. They dont own or rent vacation homes (to my knowledge). Their websites are nothing more than a web portal for property owners and users to communicate with each other and/or conduct business. Their...
