There are no commercial breaks, if you know what you’re doing.
But that’s the least obvious one, I have to explain telephones to my kids.
- Comment on It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders) 4 days ago:
At least in Canada they can’t legally expire. But yes, not only that, but you also have to buy more stuff and add your own money if you want to completely empty the gift card, as you’ll never be able to get to that exact amount.

That said, the app is a great initiative, and I’ll certainly give it a look once I get in front of a computer, and probably recommend it to students.

A bug, or a feature?
- Comment on Amazon’s app will start listing items Amazon doesn’t sell 2 months ago:
It feels more like they want you to always use their search when you want to buy anything, which would make you buy it from them if they do sell it.
