I like this idea, but I'd personally make a few additional changes to incognito mode. 1) Make it easy for me to accept persistent cookies at my discretion. I don't want random ad tracking, but I hate having to always log in to Amazon. 2) L

Exactly. I don't even care if they're not selling it yet, at least have an informational screen up. I just went there to look up the specs on the new Kindle Paperwhite (weight, mostly) and the product isn't even mentioned anywhere on thei

The gist is that the item being advertised has to be the actual item as offered to the consumer. So in a cereal ad, the cereal featured has to be the actual cereal (even though they may go through hundreds of boxes picking out the perfect

It's actually really simple. There's actually two different modes, but they're accomplished the same way. One is that menu is off screen and slides in to overlap the normal view. The second is the the view is in the background, and the n

That's an important distinction that a lot of people are overlooking in this discussion. It's not the end result that is patented, but rather the process or method to achieve that result.

Can you tell us what city you're in, or at least be a little more specific? I know you're main point was to vent and get advice, but a lot of times these posts can result in actual job leads and offers.

This is the reason that almost all infomercials always throw in something free, regardless of what the product is. "Order now, and we'll throw in this convenient travel size, absolutely free!"
