Yes, I didn't get it for longer than I liked. Perhaps a "Click and Drag along this line" then a "Now change things around the screen and do it again" Or many other idea's like it. EDIT: Forgot to mention it's really beautiful to play with.

+1, well said. As I said in the live chat to them tonight - please guys, get to the UK soon :-)

(I guess I should clarify that this is an analogy, and that the same applies for desktop software. Dial home = one extra layer against piracy if someone pirated the app.)

It's more about defeating dishonesty actually. You can download full version of apps for free very easily with a Jailbroken phone. As a developer, by using in-app purchase you have a very good chance of defeating that loophole.

I like that idea, and I'd add it to mine: People drive at a constant speed. The root cause of traffic jams, in my opinion, is that people brake much quicker than they accelerate. This leads to traffic bunching up, and then stretching out as

Whilst I'd love to agree, lots of people in my world (the UK insurance industry) don't get a choice. When reporting issues I often say "Can you upgrade your browser?" to which I get the reply "No, it's what the IT department put on all of t

I totally agree with all your nicely worded release comments. "He felt like an insider because he worked for Verizon, so let him feel that way." Whilst I too wouldn't have said anything, it's interesting to consider the number of people he

Probably not actually. It is a really good idea.

I would buy this if the price was lower. Perhaps around $7.99, to make it £5 in the UK, more or less. Fantastic idea, fantastic site. Well done.

As a UK guy, this is a great service for us: We always keep a tent, chairs and stove in the boot of our car. This service will help in finding somewhere to camp if we are in a random area of the UK and want to see a little more of it the ne

This was my thought. In the past I have bought in-game money with real-world money. A character would turn up in the game to meet your character at a pre-determined locations, and complete the deal. (Usually ;-) ) I'm guessing something lik

I don't feel I am getting over exited. A protest about an unfortunate incident led to some people throwing stuff at the Police. This escalated. Others then saw this as an opportunity to go looting in other towns. Bringing up Jean Charles de

I can see where you are coming from, but in the case of the two involved in this story, it's a bit deeper. On ones own, it is unlikely the average man will head off to a mobile phone store, force the shutter open, smash the windows and head

But it hasn't acted as a deterrent, has it. The first tiny window of opportunity these organised shoplifters had, they went for it. It wasn't rioting or a protest.

Indeed. The last high profile case didn't work out very well for the defender did it, but I guess that was largely due to the robber being shot in the back. [1] I think the change is law is to help clarify this a little more. In reality, on

I'm a UK guy. I won't argue that these sentences are disproportionate. But is it what we need in response to this? I'd argue yes. The spark for these "riots" was a gentleman who was killed during an arrest. Bad times, of course. Very bad ti

You typically serve half of it over here, pending a hearing, "good behaviour" and any extra conditions a judge added. (Which for these sort of offences are very unlikely to be applied.)

Stay or rent, you have a choice to do either. (Can't think of anything else to add, sorry.)

It's a good idea, yes. But in this case, and probably any that follow it, it's extremely unlikely they used/will use their own details or credit cards.

With respect, your misconception on safety levels are not a fault of AirBnB. It's our trusting nature. I've read lots of the discussions about this today, and I think I'm the first to post this: http://www.airbnb.com/home/safety It is no

One faces the posibility of those horrible loses each day, but obviously you are increasing your risk with AirBnB. But a nutter having your key is just a minor detail if entry is desired; and with AirBnB at least you get a cash reward for y

"Before booking, AirBnB does not allow you swap personal information, primarily so you can't go outside their system to make your arrangements." That would be a selfish act then. (But from a business point of view an understandable one.) Bu

I have to agree. A good proportion of people would giggle at that.

In the UK one needs specific landlord insurance for this situation. I expect that unless you rented out your space a lot in a given policy year, it may render it unprofitable to do so.
