I've canceled (and later resubscribed) to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon without ever picking up the phone.
My cousin was nice enough to call at kickoff and paused his game until the FuboTV feed that I was watching caught up. Then we could text spoiler free for the rest of the game.

I'm a little late with this, but my brother, cousins and I have been playing at http://games.asobrain.com/ for years. For copyright reasons, it's Explorers there.

They also have Carcasonne, which they call Tolouse.

Thanks for that. I've recently switched to Linux and while puddletag is a decent replacement, I've got nearly a decade of experience with mp3tag I've been loath to turn my back on.
I thought the reason the video app wasn't in the Play store was due to them having to give Google a cut of every sale if they did that?

I'm not sure what the original poster had in mind, but what I'm guessing (and what I would want) is making it a web UI so access could be shared easily to other people or devices.
It's really no different than any other early adopter premiums. They pay $80-$100 every month to watch "Breaking Bad" now; I pay $8/month and I'll get to watch it in a year or so when it hits Netflix. Just like the people driving hybrids and electrics are bringing the cost down to where the rest of the population can afford it.

The only real difference is that in this case the early adopter is the normal case and the late adopters are the outliers.

This. I would ship every bookcase in the house tomorrow if someone gave me credit toward the corresponding e-books.

The files go into my Box account, and I never lose another book.

Do that once on a production system in the middle of a shipping run. Lesson learned.

All my deletes written first as selects now, as a sibling comment suggested.
