   I agree that no one should be using FTP anymore. However, this is a problem for server admins to solve, not Panic.

   I would love to see some sales figures for the Fire Phone. I have yet to see one in the wild here in NYC.

   Yeah, but for a lot (perhaps most?) businesses, their offerings are somewhat nebulous and their logos can't rely on well-tread iconography. How do you represent legal services in a logo? How about high-end Asian Fusion food? Medical ce

   If the point of a logo is to convey what the company does, then just about every classic logo fails. Just to name a few, the logos for Apple, IBM, Coca-Cola, UPS, Nike, BMW, Shell, McDonalds, and GE give no clues as to what the company does

   Open source is no panacea when it comes to security. OpenSSL's Heart Bleed vulnerability comes to mind. You also have to have qualified and dedicated people regularly reading and testing the code. I'd rather LastPass hired more se

   Awesome. I've been using a router hack* to accomplish this on iOS, but it'll be nice to have DuckDuckGo when I'm not on my home network. * http://chrisltd.com/blog/2013/04/duck-duck-go-iphone-ip

   You can only scroll down with a scroll wheel or trackpad. You can't use your arrow keys or the native scroll bar. That's a huge accessibility problem.

   I personally have run into issues where the document wouldn't update after I made changes to the CSS in the developer tools. I had no problems making the exact same changes in Google Chrome. It only takes a few inconsistencies to destr

    Amazon is at least being consistent about leaving out proprietary/locked services. For instance, they don't list Google Play, Xbox Video, or Playstation Video.

    Another wrinkle: The popular devices for viewing online video, Rokus, Apple TVs, gaming consoles, tablets, and phones have little to no storage space for meaningful amounts of HD video.

    I'm bearish on Netflix because... a) Everyone and their sister seems to have the technology for a streaming video service. b) They have no shortage of big name competitors like Amazon, Hulu, and Vudu. c) Content companies that provide

    The parent question was asking whether or not speed tiers would go away if they charged for data by the GB. I'm saying they wont go away, at least not immediately.

    I'm guessing there will be speed tiers at first. The telecom industry doesn't leave money on the table without pressure from the government or fierce competition.

    Corporations are not legally obliged to pay their employees a living wage, but that doesn't mean especially stingy corporations should be free from criticism. Shame is a powerful motivating factor.

    Not to be too pedantic, but I don't think this situation fits the formal definition of commoditization. For a product to be a commodity, the various alternatives need to be interchangeable or indistinguishable. Edit: Web apps (Google D

    This is why we should have more progressive taxation. The lower rungs of the economic shouldn't have to depend on the largesse of the wealthy few.

    To that point, I would consider putting borders on all the entry fields to make it clear where user data goes. It wouldn't be as pretty, but it might be more usable.

    I love Dash, it's saved my butt when I've had spotty or zero Internet access. However, I've found that on my laptop it is far faster to do a web search for documentation than it is for Dash to do the search locally.

    Glad I'm not the only one just checking for an '@'. I wouldn't want to prevent users from registering with my sites just because I didn't foresee some funky email address formatting with my regular expression.
