Hmm. So, it seem the definitions of public and private are skewing the ability to compare apples to apples? There appears to be no way to "normalize" the data.

I sense a bit of disrespect for the community in which you opt-in in order to participate here. In general, HN is the most logical and reasonable internet community I have ever come across outside of NNTP (certainly on the web). Please don'

We don't have a single protocol for everyone to standardize on, and we don't even have enough access to the various protocols to build a Trillian-like client that supports everything. I thought both XMPP and SIP were supposed to solve tha

I find your comment interesting and perhaps there's an implicit nod to Aloha/Radiant Systems somewhere in there? As someone directly involved in the market, I'm curious about your thoughts on where the opportunity (creating more card accept

I think his point is that by doing this we are simply treating the symptom (breach in security), and not the cause (unsound security measures). It appears to me as "security theater" in every sense that I understand the phrase.

I didn't know that about Apple, but I would imagine they are not the entity that encouraged such behavior. I'm glad I don't use iTunes at all, and now, I never will use it.
