   I don't get why he needed to delete the account completely or why he felt obligated to respond to the messages he got from fans. He could have _changed_ his use of Facebook. He could use Facebook more like Twitter without paying the publici

   I don't use SMS at all. I do use email a lot, so for me what would be ideal is an e-ink Android device. Right now I'm getting about 3 hrs of battery when I use the phone non-stop for data-related things. Very annoying.

    Is downtime associated with how complex the GAE app is? I'm planning to host primarily static files and I'm wondering if downtime is an issue at all in this case.

    Dropbox is good if you want to have local copies of files (perhaps because you go offline once in a while), or if you want these files to be synced in different computers, or if those files need to be edited/viewed with software that does n

    Technology is allowing the pool to get larger. Amateur creativity is going to become increasingly more important and partially replace art that comes from the industry.

    I have a couple of open projects on Assembla. I've been very happy with their service and up time. I find Git to be an overkill for the kind of things I need, so SVN is just what I need.
