Fitbit, I am disappoint.
This is the Fitbit Surge, a $250 ‘superwatch’ with built-in GPS | The Verge – Yesterday I spoke with two other disenchanted Fitbit customers, upset that they are refusing to integrate with HealthKit.

I think they’re going to lose more customers than they gain over this.

Quinnspiracy / What To Expect When You’re Expecting (the internet to ruin your life) – “Try and remember if there’s any places you have accounts for that you might have forgotten. For example, they got into a dominos.com account I had made and forgot about to try and send someone a pizza. It can be especially damaging if that account is automatically set up to charge any of your accounts.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Frickin’ spammers.
Chinese Domain Name Scam – I totally fell for this one the other day, wasting time corresponding with a fake Chinese domain name registrar warning me that someone wanted to register “roalddahlfans” as their “internet keyword.” ARGH.
