If dongle quality was better I would be happier, but all around, not having a headphone jack is not a huge inconvenience.

I would spend my entire time trying to cheat or subvert the rules.

I was solicited to improve an Amazon review in exchange for a partial refund. I refused. They tried again and I told them I would reduce the review by a star for each additional email. I forwarded the interaction to Amazon, and they did nothing.

You should take a look at mobx-state-tree. It provides this capability in a straightforward way and is more approachable in general.

These are very cool, but unfortunately the last time I tried using BLE (specifically Estimote beacons with their sdk) in an Android app the interference with wifi made the experience unbearable. Presumably not all chipsets have the problem, but every single one I tested had trouble.

This can also be the reason you see a company having multiple disparate titles or changing them seemingly at random.

Anyone else notice that he seems to have forgotten the names of the ones that weren't quite as attractive?

Hopefully anyone checking this out will get the same top headline I got, "For Obama, Tax Deal Is a Back-Door Stimulus Plan" wow... just wow.

Also, is 'chrome' here referring to Chrome OS or the browser?
