That seems to be the price that most are putting the intel based tablet. They are putting the ARM based version at around $599. I guess time will tell. I don't see the Surface going for $200..

They see the $100-200 upfront cost and think that's it, ignoring the fact that there's a considerable amount of money added to their monthly fees. I'm all for allowing people to pay more upfront and pay less on a monthly basis; that's usually a win for the customer even though it feels like it hurts more.

That just seems broken in itself.

KOMO doesn't even have an option for Kenmore when it asks you to select your city.

But I think Google has a pretty good track record of going after Employees who are into nefarious activities; I'm reminded of that Employee in Seattle who was fired for snooping on teen chat records. That said, there's a risk no matter where you keep your files. I trust Google (and any other big company in general) to do the thing at least. I think they probably have plenty of safeguards to monitor folks snooping data.

Horton are pumping out these cheap homes, when there's so much inventory on the market. My home value is down 175K since I bought it in 2007. Paid $600K for it then. There's 4 *used* homes for sale on my block, and another 8 new homes in the adjacent D.R. Horton lot which are way under priced since they were able to buy plots of land super cheap from a bankrupt builder. Keeping a bit of reasonable demand on current inventory would be nice.

Hindsight in 20/20. I can imagine that over the course of the dispatchers' career, he's gotten many similar calls that led to nothing, and using that as a gauge, probably didn't think that this was a big deal. The woman was right in this case, but I can easily see her call as seeming like an overreaction as well.
