Raleigh has a history of acquisition, waxing and waning. How much of the app functionality evaporates when the backend servers are shut down? For anyone who sees whiz-bang app features, here are some considerations:

85% of the cost of software is maintenance; somewhere in the software engineering leadership chain, this always gets lost
apps such as these are mining your data, adding to massive data profiles corporations maintain on individuals, share, and sell
what is the long term support agreement on the software, firmware, and hardware? Parts availability/lead times?
