They are selling a corporate version, it's true. For home users it's free, though.

You realize the article focuses on debt in regards to students and young people, right? Yeah, there's a bit of hyperbole, but I think my reference to "toughest... generation... evar..." makes sense in the context of "young people have it pretty shitty right now". Clearly you disagree, so fair enough. :)

I considered pointing this out, and the great depression too. I can't say (and didn't say) that our generation is definitely harder off (I wasn't born during the previously stated time periods), however... from everything I've seen, youth today are in for a really, really shitty time. Perhaps saying "worse than its been in a long, long time" would have been more balanced.

This is absolutely fair to point out. In many ways we try and act as "cool finders", and we do post a lot of hilariously expensive gear and gadgets, however... I think it's reasonable that people can still appreciate the tech without plunging themselves into debt trying to acquire it. These (admittedly) frivolous things could be an incentive, or something for people to look forward to for working smartly, if that's what makes them happy.
