Here's a sample video shot in the city where I live (Utrecht): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-AbPav5E5M At times (e.g. 6PM workdays) certain routes can be even busier. If you're interested, here are a lot more videos on this subject: h

You can't see it in the Chrome Developer Tools/Network UI, but the browser is sending the recorded audio input to a webserver. Unfortunately it's HTTPS, so a bit hard to decode the URL/content of the message without using a proxy.

For Google Charts, there is a workaround. Simply change the hostname to www.google.com, example: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chl=http://www.adperium.com/ (normal) https://www.google.com/chart?chs=200x

From the site: 2CO applies a 5.5% commission on each transaction, plus a $0.45 USD charge per transaction. That sounds incredibly expensive to me, even PayPal is cheaper ( https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-receiving... ).
