    I think this is good news for warehouse workers in California. Having to go to bathroom while being under some gun that effects negatively by potential disciplinary actions how the employer sees how productive you are is not great for the employee and there human health long term.

    Curse you Amazon! "Open Orders" removed with no substitute.

    I usually have a half-dozen or more books and CDs pre-ordered. Until today under Orders I could choose Open Orders to see a list of them and remind myself what I'd pre-ordered and when it would be released. No longer. Pre-orders are only viewable through the regular order and digital order...

    - A bitter pill -

    :disappointed: No more flagging reviews on Amazon as "unhelpful." It's "thumbs up" only, or shut your mouth.:nomouth: I've noticed various sites rolling out revamps in advance of the holidays. Maybe Anandtech will roll out some thumbs up/down icons.

    Looks like Amazon S3 is down

    If you have a site that relies on amazon S3 for file storage (like mine), you're probably down right now: https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/28/amazon-aws-s3-outage-is-breaking-things-for-a-lot-of-websites-and-apps/ It seems to be impacting other AWS services that rely on S3 as well. I'll bet that...

Best of all, you can use only a minimal amount of points to get the discount - for example, I just ordered...
