Boing Boing: Amazon Unbox to customers: Eat shit and die
Amazon's new video-on-demand store may sound like a good idea, but once you take a look at the "agreement" you enter into by giving them your money, that changes. The Amazon terms-of-service are among the worst I've ever seen, a document through which you surrender your rights to privacy, integrity of your personal data, and control over your computer, in exchange for a chance to pay near-retail cost to watch Police Academy n-1. As Ben Franklin might have said: "They that can give up general purpose computers for the sake of a little eye candy deserve neither computers nor eye candy."

25 more minutes of excavating in the receipt box has definitely made a noticable dent; the box now looks merely "full" rather than "overstuffed". The office is still a disaster area, of course. And unlike previous years I'm making an effort to unfold folded-up full-page receipts, which makes the folders thinner. So there's a chance it may actually fit in the box this year.

The office and garage are still disasters, of course.
