Today, I updated my Firefox, and had a new icon on my toolbar: pocket. I took at quick look at the ToS and privacy policy; here is my tl;dr:
Read it Later, Inc. is collecting a lot of intimate information and is tracking you.
When you share something through Pocket with a friend, the emails contains spying material using malware-like techniques to track your friends.
They are sharing those information with trusted third parties (Could be anyone they are doing business with.).
The policy might change, and it's your responsibility to check Pocket's website to see if it has.
[...] The Pocket implementation is not an extension (while it was available as an extension), it's implemented in Firefox. You can not remove it, only disable it, by going in about:config, since this option is not available in the preferences menu.
What the hell is pocket? on Mozilla's site:
The Pocket for Firefox button lets you save web pages and videos to Pocket in just one click. Pocket strips away clutter and saves the page in a clean, distraction-free view and lets you access them on the go through the Pocket app. All you need is a free account, an Internet connection and the Pocket button.

I don't imagine you'll have a customer who needs AT unless they're running some industrial equipment that only speaks to stone-age hardware. AT is otherwise so long gone that after the P233s junked by the local school system we never got any at the user grope. My old Tyan boards swing both ways but are happier with AT than ATX, and they're special so what they want, they get. :)
Yeah I figure for under ten bucks, if I get a couple good uses out of the POST tester then it's paid for itself. Ordered that and the PSU tester, added some cable adapters I needed anyway so I'd get free shipping, then discovered I had a $25 gift card from gods know where plus a $10 coupon I don't recognise either, and my whole order was just about paid for. :)
Me, I'll take the good used part over the crappy new part any day, and as someone once said of cars they all run on used parts. Just picked up another lightly-used Enermax 600W PSU for cheap (the last "used" one I bought off eBay was shiny-new, this one isn't much worse), could use one or two more of these when they come along at the right price but no big rush.
I have cases coming out my ears, when I moved I only kept the ones with lots of drive bays and easy to work in, and still have more than I need. I'm not a big fan of what I've seen in toolless, don't have the control over exactly where things line up that I like to have. But speaking of fans that's another thing I need to order a few of... down to no extra case fans and need to replace this Sunon that's where I can hear it; the durn Sunon fans NEVER fail (great for putting in somewhere that's a bitch to get to), but they sure are noisy. What's reliable, cheap, and quiet nowadays?
Good to know about the RMAs. Tiger used to be the worst in the business, but from what I've been hearing they seem to have turned things around.
In my museum I have a Mac G4 someone paid $4000 for and far as I can tell, never used AT ALL... yeah, makes you wonder. (Except that given the MacOS9 interface, I really don't wonder. They probably were utterly baffled and that was the end of trying to use the damn thing.)
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
