@hondanhon @tomcoates Yeah, I was very wary at first, but it’s good. Effectively have a mirror of my iTunes set-up on work computer now.

@felix_cohen This is what thewirecutter.com is for. Does all the dithering for you.

@kapowaz SHOCK! Twitter causes people to simplify arguments! Like this one.

@kapowaz But most people continue to use them. Complaining is the easy bit.

@kapowaz If people *know* Nest are a lovely charitable organisation, and they never use Google, then yes, their outrage is more justified.

@kapowaz I’m not convinced Google are more “nefarious” than most huge companies; we just give them more opportunity.

@kapowaz “to make money”? And just because people don’t know what Nest’s motives/model were, doesn’t mean they’re lovely.

“Boo hoo, my expensive gadget is now run by a huge company, instead of one that wants to be huge.” IT’S CAPITALISM, TAKE IT.

@Pinboard Feedbin, mostly with Mr Reader on the iPad, although the web interface is good too. Happy with it.

You installed beautiful hardware locked into a centralised service from single supplier, Miss a turn.
