Users will be able to post comments, respond to them, and even up or downvote the comments.

So there you are in your hotel room with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, needing to log into the hotel's Wi-Fi so you can get down to do some serious work. Currently, you would have to sign into each device separately and type in the Wi-Fi login information on each device. But the plane was late, your drive to the hotel made you car sick, and you are running hours behind schedule.

Some people end up signing up for online services for their mobile devices that they forget about and never use. That's why there are services that go through your list of subscrioptions and help you unsubscribe from them. Others turn to Google Search and seek information on how to cancel a subscription.

As a  20-year Verizon customer, I was extremely upset today when all of the negative things that I have written about lying reps ripping off the public hit too close to home. This afternoon, I was in the process of upgrading an iPhone on my Verizon account when the rep told me that I could save a few bucks by changing the plans I was paying for.
