@Winston Smith: Right, and what everyone one here is arguing is that if you make internet service a utility, then *at least* it's always a subway.

@Winston Smith: You and I both know exactly how disingenuous this argument is, sir.

@Winston Smith: False Equivalence alert!

@Winston Smith: Except that with utility companies, there is a regulated requirement to invest in the underlying infrastructure such that it will support both cold-shower Sally and hot-water Harry.

@cormack: No, goddammit.

@ProsumeThis: The triggers are cantilevered at the hinge point just ahead of the buttons. you pull in like a trigger, lifting the actuator arm upwards, which them pushes the linked arm down and mashes the button.

@wilee: I see. the phrasing of your original comment led me to believe otherwise.

@wilee: You do realize that it's not a separate market, right? It's an aggregator, and as such is just presenting the information from the market in a different way. So the idea that it's full of "craptastic" apps when the market isn't is well...silly.
