Nest had an article where they mentioned it made no difference at all, if I remember correctly. This is one of those topics where everyone says a different thing and you do whatever you want at the end of the day.

I don't have any accounts in collection and hopefully I never will, but sadly my father does. We share the same name and our SSNs are different only by one digit at the end ... 3 and 4... yeah it doesn't help the case much. Companies call me all the time even after telling them this is not the person they are trying…

oh yayz! I don't have to pay for my mortgage anymore because someone in the internwebz said so! Good thing I only paid 2 months then the mortgage was sold to another company. I have moneyz again!

I said most of those items in the list, not ALL the items in the list.

most people don't. Most of them are gimmicks/useless gadgets.

Really nothing surprising there. Comcast sucks. I recently moved (bought a house) and the first month they charge you twice (one in advance) also I received a lot of extra charges that were all lies (installing cable outlets in my house) which didn't really happen. Calling them is a nightmare, they hanged up on me…

No one liked waiting 5 minutes to download an MP3 off Napster with a 56K modem but it didn't stop anyone from using it. The speed has nothing to do with piracy, you know what really counts? Price! Lower that and a lot less people would pirate.

Yosemite... aka OS X Vista... sidebar gadgets and blurry windows everywhere! People actually use the notification center?

What this means for developers is that you know how to worry about yet another IE version ;). So much fun!

I think both consoles ask you to update or connect before you use them, so I'm guessing a lot of users were out of luck, but yes, you can play offline.

ouch! Never been to that store but that sucks.

this!

yeah it is too bad he can't illegally 3D print them. Oh well.

You forgot reticulating splines, without that you are done for!

and we are just warming up... 2015 will be a lot more exciting I bet!

:puts on tin foil hat: Why would they make a cure? It is a business that makes a shitload of money all year round :P

I never graduated from Troll school... too lazy.

I am lazy :), and your post was almost too long for TL;DR.

My bad my bad.
