You can add Yahoo to that list as well. I was using Yahoo mail, music, briefcase, messenger, chat, daily 'only' like ~15 years ago!

I hope the servers keep running for the next few days, I won't get a chance to pull the updates until the weekend :/

On another note, not sure why some people are complaining about the price. I own a Cozmo and Vector, both seemed fairly priced to me.

That may be a part of it, but OP is right that after the initial years FB changed and not for good. It's kinda like how I remember loving watching videos on MTV as a kid in early 90s, but by late 90s their programming had changed and it simply sucked.

where do you live? I'm in the Bay Area and have never seen any drones flying overhead! I'm myself a drone enthusiast, and I take great care not to make anyone feel uncomfortable (at least not intentionally) when I'm flying a drone

This could be a bug that you encountered. I've ordered tens of thousands dollar worth of food through their app or website in the last 3 years, often each order is $50-$200 (everyday lunch for our startup). Although, now I only use the 'group order' feature ever since they introduced it, before that it was more like 'passing the phone around' as you mentioned.

It does look like it just sits there static. I actually saw this robot/bike at CES earlier this month (just the showcase, I didn't see it in action). The robot looked like a 'dummy'. As if there's no real practical purpose of the robot being there! They might have as well just fitted all the sensors on the bike itself, but that probably won't be good for PR.

There's a tiny sticker on the dryer that shows how to move your hands up and down through the curtain of air. I think over time, the sticker just fades away or something. But with all things UX, once you know exactly how to use, you never look at the 'instructions' again

> "instead of admitting that their product adds no value to anything": I actually think that their 'airblade' (pictured in the article) is a very innovative product. When I first used it like ~10 years ago, I remember telling myself "Wow! Finally someone figured out how to make a useful hand dryer". The old style hand-dryers just took too long to dry hands, bit too long for my patience.

Lol. Same here, I stopped reading after a while as it was pissing me off. How can someone be so dumb and explain it in excruciating detail. You brought up good points, there's a ton more. For ex. $3000 spent on lawyer to register a company, who later told him he could do it online for a couple hundred! This kind of information is just a few Google searches away these days.
