To echo others in this thread, the same happened to me. The account was deactivated in 2009, and I used a password that I know to have been compromised in hacks of other services.

After several weeks, I got an email yesterday telling me that due to no further suspicious activity, they unlocked the account without Photo ID verification. I went in and scheduled the account for deletion.

I used to be a big fan of Nest. I've owned the thermostat, protect, Dropcam Pro, and a Nest Cam. This product announcement leaves me very underwhelmed.

Since Nest took stewardship of the Dropcam products, there has been a noticeable decline in quality. The Nest App is not as fully featured as the Dropcam one was previously, and I seem to be having more and more connectivity issues, despite having improved Internet connectivity.

There isn't anything compelling about this new product that will lead me to "upgrade". One of my cameras is already pointed outdoors and it gets the job done for monitoring my entrances.

I'd argue the opposite. With them recently changing Direct Messages to account for 10,000 characters, they know what it takes to make the changes.

For sports teams/venues that partner with them, they do.

When I sell my hockey tickets on stubhub, they place my tickets on hold with Tickets.com, and once sold, my physical tickets can no longer be used to gain entry to the event. The tickets that the buyer receives has a new barcode on them, so they can rest assured they won't have an issue at the gate.

SportsCenter is one of the high margin show on the network[1]... this isn't by any means the cause of the reduction in workforce.

My unit had its path light on all night and wore out the battery's on a nightly basis. It went from full battery to chirping in less than a night.

Support wasn't very helpful, so I just disabled that feature and haven't had an issue since.

It turns into the send button as soon as you start typing

$4 in fees

I have a KwikSet Kevo, and it's been a huge convenience for me when returning home. I'm typically carrying several bags/waterbottle/misc items, and just tapping my lock rather than digging for a specific key is way easier, especially with hands full.

This is only when searching for WiFi... once you connect the access point will know your true MAC address.

Upgraded shortly after it was released and suffered the consequences. Just was able to restore back down to 8.0

I had to turn iMessage off and back on again in order for Apple to re-register my number... until then I was unable to send to any existing contacts.

Here's a little speculation into the move: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/08/apple-homepage-event-cou...

They had the story under embargo... looks like recode posted the same time as Vic did.

If you read his essay, he states that this wasn't an "interview", the reporter was doing background for another story on Jessica. It was never intended to be an interview.

It pulls from your Google Wallet balance, which can be funded when friends send you money, or you can load money on to it using a bank account or credit/debit card (2.9% fee applies)

Very disappointed that the Wallet Card has changed from its original goal of linking all your cards into one... that was the biggest appeal for me. Now that it's just another debit card, I doubt I will use it as my primary method of payment.

Some of Google's security team has helped to stiffen the safeguards[1]

In the Wired article[1], there is a graphic that states battery life is seven years, and the batteries can be replaced for $10-$15 off the shelf.

It has since been verified.

The headline used by CNN is grossly misleading. They are deriving the $4 additional cost by comparing the Moto X to an iPhone, and subtracting their estimated cost from each other.

I waited to order mine from Google in hopes of getting Prime shipping from Amazon... hope I didn't miss out entirely.

"In five minutes, press briefing on visit to Vietnam and the case Snowden, from Hanoi, the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam" - @RicardoPatinoEC

As a resident of Upstate New York, I can vouch for how frustrating this is. Especially when traveling.

This ruling only applies to the 5 boroughs of New York City, not the entire state.

Thanks so much!

Title is very misleading, as this only applies to New York City, and not the other 57 counties!

I don't recall the source, but I've seen that the loss due to downtime is negligible, and that customers return at a later time to complete their purchase.

They are gradually rolling it out on the web to users over the next month. Then iOS, then Android.

I believe that is an option that you unlock at a certain karma level.
