I went to a movie earlier this week.

The show was prefixed by twenty-six minutes of advertising and trailers.

Cutting that back would be a major step to improving the customer experience at theaters.

It actually makes no difference in my experience.

I've had my bank shut down my VISA card twice now for the first international transactions made in exactly the location I've told them I'm going to be.

I think what happens is that a computer stops the card immediately and flags it for a human to review at a later point, but in the mean while I have a dead piece of plastic and an embarrassing situation at a checkout.

...is that Creative Cloud is only $50/month in the United States.

Pricing in Europe is almost fifty percent more expensive. Check it if you don't believe me.

I'd love to know how the bean counters in Adobe justify that...

And both users of Vista will be horribly disappointed by that...

I'd say Japan. I've been there a few times and have always been amazed as I watch long distance trains pulling into the station exactly when the timetable says they should.
