    I've been a PIA customer for a year and a half with no complaints. I'm not a VPN power user by any means but it's been solid for me the whole time and haven't had any reason to loo…

    I've been a Spotify premium user for years now and have never used my Library, but have a ton of playlists organized and nested into different genre/mood/etc directories. I'm sure …

    Same here. I did use it often in college when it was still .edu only and got a lot out of it so I understand why people like it. On the flip side, shortly after I graduated I reali…

    I think you totally misunderstood the OP you're replying to. As far as I can tell he is agreeing with your sentiment 100%.

    The link you posted, did you read past the top comment? There are a lot of people still playing and many of those that are are still heavily involved. I can't say I've ever played …

    Interesting article about Hoffman, but the title is extremely misleading. There are so many reasons why Microsoft bought LinkedIn that are more important than just getting Hoffman'…
