This is the thing I don’t get. While the Fire TV might have a decent margin, there’s just no way Amazon’s making any money on the Fire TV Stick. Even if it does make money, you buy the Fire TV once. Prime, on the other hand, costs money every year. Getting someone hooked on your ecosystem means focusing on the services…

Here’s what doesn’t make sense to me: Amazon Prime may have a lot of subscribers through people who use Prime shipping, but I can’t imagine it’s nearly as popular as, say, Netflix. Wouldn’t Amazon want to get their streaming service into as many homes as possible? Ignoring high-profile devices like the Apple TV and…

Hey, I told him if he published it on his personal blog, I would retweet the heck out of it, and I did. I fully support his stick-finding endeavors.

That's a great looking spread. How do you like the A7/A6000 combo? My wife just picked up the A7M2, and I was looking at the A6000 once it goes on sale again with the zoom lens discount. From what I've read, the E-Mount lenses are compatible on both, there is just cropping if you use the non full frame on the A7?…

All I want is an a la carte channel menu - the one thing nobody wants to give us.

Hey, thanks for featuring my bag!

You must either not have cable or haven't priced it lately. The yearly cost for AT&T one level up from basic is almost 70/per month that doesn't include internet, telephone or hbo go. Their price for HBO GO is 11 per month rather than HBO's 8. On top of that with internet they wanted to charge me $150 per month for…

I already own one for each TV in the house, but at $23 dollars, that's not a valid excuse anymore!

Yes, because there are no alternatives between building a coffee table from a pallet and throwing the pallet in a dumpster. And there is no middle ground between building a table from pallet wood and a heirloom table you can pass down to your grandchildren. Must be really hard to knock down those strawmen, huh?

I'm sorry, I think I may have worded that incorrectly. I wasn't trying to look down at you from my high horse while I single handedly saved the environment (by day I am Eric the RC guy, at night I am Captain-save-a-tree.

Haha.. yeah you would guess wrong.

lol I work for a small private university and move in day is next week. We have a tradition where we help on freshman move-in day and the stuff I see people bring is a hoot! We all just laugh when we see them roll up with a SUV and trailer full of stuff.

I have never seen a look of more utter disappointment then when my mom saw my dorm room right before graduation senior year. Her mind trying to balance the fact that she had raised a son successful enough to graduate from college but produce such utter filth made her mom brain collapse in on itself like a dying star.

Shocked at the lack of "unhealthy, terrible, disgusting" comments from the health nazis. Are they all at a big health nazi convention?

Add a can of green chiles to the eggs when you mix them. You're welcome.

A gift I gave myself: all new plastic storage containers. All the same size & shape so you will never have to rummage around for a lid to match a container! I still use the disposable kind and they still seem to last a good long time. They'll always stack properly in the fridge/freezer, and they'll all fit the same…
