    Some article I read on cnn said that Larry Page was a big fan of Warren Buffet's and this is how Warren Buffet has structured his company. I suppose it makes sense from a marketing stand point, I mean what does driverless cars have to do with searching the internet?

    With my kid, it was around the 4 month mark when he started sleeping through the night, from about 6-7 pm to about 5am. We've since moved his bed time back to about between 7 and 8pm and he'll sleep until 6:30 to 7am. What's nice is he doesn't wake up crying. He'll play in his crib for a good 30...

    I'm sure they are charging customers for the fiber install, while collecting local, state and federal grant money to also pay for the install. Hell people in NY that still have verizon landlines have been paying a $1.95 more a month since 2009 because verizon was suppose to use that money to...

    I order parts from newegg for my company and we got audited a few years back and the State of Missouri made us start paying sales tax on the purchases from newegg, not because its an actual law, they just chose to reinterpret the tax code to make business' pay sales tax on online purchases.

    Verizon's plan. I'm on the unlimited data plan with them and its $30 a month. So if you use 5 to 10 gigs a month, I was curious how it would save you money if you're on the same unlimited data plan that I'm on.

    The hdhomerun app is from silicondust, they make over the air tuners and cable card tuners. The hdhomerun app I think is $1.99 from the play store but it will only work with the silicondust tuners.

    Pretty much. With the reclassification of broadband by the FCC to 25mbps or greater, a merger of Comcast and Time Warner would have given control of more than 80% of the nations broadband, which is one reason the FCC was against the Comcast/TWC merger.
