I established a DNS Made Easy account about 5 years ago exactly for this reason. Registration, DNS and hosting independence is an important consideration. Separating these concerns is a big win when you need it.

I appreciate this list, but I do wish the author would have linked to the software websites instead of to the app store. On the iPad, these app store links are useless. (As a side note, why can't these links be a little more intelligent? If

How does this article get published? It has a single source who happens to run a technology firm... Plant fear. Profit. Is there no money left in news that the reporter could not make some calls to verify or dispute these claims?

Not really a fan of this, but made me think of Matt Mullenweg's business card: http://paulstamatiou.com/im-2-on-google The card reads: 1. Go to Google. 2. Type 'Matt.' 3. Click 'I feel lucky.' Edit: Added what the card reads instead of ju

When debating issues like this in my mind, I frequently flip-flop. I can argue both sides. On one side, I don't want a corporation taking advantage of the consumer by using immense resources to exploit a flaw in human behavior. On the other

Thanks. That helps a lot. I didn't realize this whole backstory was public.

Just curious: Is there any information about how an email from one executive to two others is 'leaked'? That seems like a bigger concern.

This is the point I was trying to make in my comments earlier. Typography is a feature. Right now we're seeing Minimum Viable Ebooks. Ship. What is the incentive for better typography? Most books are like mini-monopolies (over the short ter

Not time, but resources. In this case paying someone to manually set the book's E-edition. My point is that with anything, the publishers decide if paying to manually set the ebook has a better return than spending elsewhere (or not at all)

Same here. When I was working out of the house, I would frequently say to my SO: "Pretend I'm at work." I wish it was something I addressed better up front. For others, keep in mind that it's a two-way street. If you want your SO to give yo
