I refused to buy Amazon ebooks when I learned that I didn't own them. I only owned a right to read them (dependent on many legal things). The price of an ebook has so far been the same as the price of a physical book. Considering the r

It's the TB 15". I thought about seeing if I could go into an Apple store and see if I could get them to do it, but I am currently 2 hours away from the closest real one.

As a former prime member, there are times I miss it, but not much. What I miss most is Amazon caring about me as a customer. I don't think I am the only one who finds that as a non-prime customer my packages take a really long time to

Why is this little construction crane not being used in other cities? This is what is the oddest piece of the story to me. There are lots of cities where these buildings are built. Mid-size cities. If the cost of the tower crane is so much
