  Went looking for past stories about PRS, found a story from 2010 with 615 comments

  on PRS To Increase Members' Fees To Fund Legal Expedition Against TV Station
  Sorry, its off topic but I often follow the links to past stories to try to get a historical look at the company under discussion. I eventually found the story below.

  I haven't made it through all of the comments yet but it looks like it may have been one of the most frustrating threads I've ever seen DH involved in.

  on Awesome Stuff: Not Quite Google Glass
  Last time I checked, Google was an optional service. If someone has concerns over their way of doing business, they are free to choose any of the other companies offering similar services.
  
  "Sites like TD should be informing people so they can make intelegent choices." I always get a kick out of people coming, taking the time (or not) to read articles and then commenting that TD should be writing about something else or complain that they shouldn't bother writing about that subject.
  
  If you see a need for a different type of article, maybe you could fill that void and provide those articles on your own site.

  Agreed, but at least there is a hell of a lot more space in that 3rd dimension.

  on Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Arizona's Revenge Porn Law Over First Amendment Concerns
  "using a bad interpretation of the First Amendment to chip away at religious freedom at every turn"
  
  I'd be interested to see what cases you are referring to. When I went looking I could only find cases where they were fighting for religious freedom.

  Interview with the father

  on Canadian Newspaper Under Investigation For Violating Ban On Publishing Names Of Child Pornography Victims
  CBC radio had an interview with her father on last night if anyone wanted some more information.
  
  The craziest part is her name was all over the news for weeks after she died but when introducing the clip yesterday, CBC was not even allowed to say the name of her father.

  I suppose, the article is about auto makers and Uber's business does involve using automobiles...

  on Behind the Veil Part 6: Comcast Informs Employer Of Complaining Customer
  What if he is from a state where an employer can fire you for any or no reason? (No-Fault maybe??)
  
  Honest question... I'm just wondering if these places do actually exist and if employers do have that kind of control.

  Yeah, I totally agree, it sounded like you were dismissing Squirrels example to AC 11:31 which I didn't think was bad... Anyway, just misunderstanding.

  on Apple Facing Trial Over Whether Its Use Of DRM Violated Antitrust Laws
  If you dislike the writing style, why don't you submit an article or two of your own. I believe there is a link at the top of the page that allows you to submit story ideas.
  
  Take initiative and write a piece, have your say, back it up with some good sources and see what happens.

  on Behind The Veil Part 3: Comcast Rep Confirms That You Should Always Record Customer Service Calls
  So if he didn't bother to look at the bill and just let the payment go through it would have been $82 not $181.94?
