    That touch remote truly is the worst thing apple has made in a while (the round hockey puck mouse being the absolute worst). In addition to all your points... it just isn't that du…

    I've done the 1099 thing before. I had an accountant and my own LLC. I made sure to have a separate bank account that I dumped 30% of my billable time into. Each tax season I'd cut…
