  1. I work for an eBook distributor and we sell eBooks on Amazon and the refund policy is true there too. Amazon keep it's cut refund or not. They are the only store that does this to my knowledge. We had an issue a few years back where we saw 1000s of refund every months, they looks really suspicious, the time between purchase and refund was always the same, same 10-20 adresses. etc. We informed Amazon that someone seem to be downloading everything and getting refunded. This stop afterward, but i'm not sure we got compensated for all the money lost on that. Most store takes from 30% to 50% of the sale. The bigger you are/the more you sell, the better the condition you can get with resellers. So those % are different, but are probably close for everyone. (We don't sell on Audible, probably because the rate are too bad, so I don't know) In general Audio books popularity is relatively recent. We are seeing a lot more from our publishers. Big resellers have move to their solution for Audio books, from using someone else, including Audible. New Audio specific reseller are doing in some specific (English) market, hopefully something change in the English market.
  2. Tesla are making the battery so it should be safe, right? They'll probably screw something up anyways.
  3. I'm currently using a 290. I want to get an ultra wide monitor 1440p soon. I'm pretty sure I need a better GPU for that.
  4. That's a sweet projector. I really like the short projection. How's the input lag on projector?
  5. Rig name: LeGourmand's 2013Cpu: i7 4770kGpu: MSI Radeon R9 290XRam: 16 GB Score: 7.1
  6. We have an iTunes Connect account at work, to sell stuff on the app store. They sure are spamming us these days to buy 6s.
  7. Simple standing cockpits are around 500. These http://www.motionsimulation.com/products-pricing/ are around 20k. This price seems faire to me, at least compare to what I can find online. It looks really fun, to bad I don't have 3 000$ lying around and an empty room.
  8. So about 1h drive for 4h of charge... considering most truck are on road 8-10h per day, depending country law for max driving hours per day, that doesn't work. There are some restaurants that use 100% electric cars for their food delivery for the last few years where I live, seem to be working well for them. Hopefully city small delivery truck can go full electric soon.
  9. At first glance the Mac version seems way faster/better at dealing with 20 000+ lines files, it was really slow with Office 2011. We'll see when I have real stuff to do with a similar file.
  10. I'm in Canada. Sennheiser HD 558 are 175$ CAD on Amazon.ca + shipping and taxes that 201$
  11. Hi, I have no clue where to start. All I know is i'm not buying some gaming headphone again... I'm looking for a new pair of headphone, to be mostly used at my computer, listening to music (metal, prog, rock), movies and play some games. Budget is 100$-150$ Canadian, I like the idea of Open headphone, but it's not a must. Thanks a lot.
  12. This is great, I always wanted to try Windows phone. That would be the perfect way without having to pay for a new phone.
  13. Did you have to argue much? If so what did you have to say to get the partial refund?
  14. North Korea has been known to hire people from around the world for projects they can't handle, mostly engineer. They could have hire people for this or financed it in some way. But it could as well be the hacker blaming North Korea for the heck of it.
  15. Tigerdirect.ca is showing it as a 24h deal http://www.tigerdirect.ca/sectors/category/deal-of-the-dayca.asp?cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot%2002a-_-n
