That animation is cool maybe ONCE. Not all of us want to use movie-computers that beep every time you push a key.

Why don't you just cut a small lock of your hair and see what the dye does?

Just because some practice is commonplace doesn't make it right. Netflix has a pretty good reason for not publishing the catalog -- it's completely different based on where you have your account -- something that isn't the case here.

Almost every successful Internet company out there "broke the mold" in some fashion but their success doesn't mean that every other business trying to be the "Netflix of X" should go cargo-cult all of Netflix's business practices.

If you want to know the truth, while I personally went looking for a games list, I don't think they should publish it either, and the reason is that it sucks. I'm not trying to say that the games are bad -- but there's nothing enticing to me on that list because I just don't know anything about any of them. If I signed up for the trial and actually played a couple of them I honestly would be more likely to remain a subscriber.

What I think they should do is publish an abbreviated list across a couple of genres so that I could get a feel for the types of games they publish. "Rogulike" "Indy" - these are kind of bullshit terms to most people without examples.

Hi, David. I came across your website several days ago while searching for information on how to deal with a complicated family situation and have found it extremely helpful for properly understanding how medical billing actually works. Thank you very much for providing this resource.

One problem we have personally been facing is how to properly understand how best to cope with the ramifications of the emergency decision to use an air ambulance and the resulting $60k+ charges, much of which may not be covered by any insurer despite the patient having otherwise amazing insurance coverage. It seems that air ambulance services are frequently able to pass enormous charges to patients even after negotiating with insurance companies for fair fees -- the equivalent of passing the 'insurance adjustment' on to to the patient as balance billing. What are your thoughts to people stuck in this predicament, and what can the average person ask or do to avoid this pitfall before it happens?
