As I said in a comment just posted, the user who wanted satisfaction, no pun intended, created that page on GetSatisfaction forums. If anything, the failure was technical, since GS did not notify 37Signals that a page has been created for t

I don't understand why this is top of HN. Sure, GetSatisfaction screwed up their text on one of their badges, but that shouldn't have been cause for Jason to go off on a rant. Also, I think that GetSatisfaction could have notified 37Signals

Awesome article. Had me until the nonsensical graph. Some people didn't get it, though.

This is BS, utter and complete BS. This just allows Microsoft to perpetuate their myths and TomTom gets to violate the GPL without actually disclosing it. Does anyone have the balls to actually stand up to Microsoft and finally invalidate t

Yeah, I'll be reading through those as well. I like nothing better than reading a paper out of my depth and then learning as much as I can about the subject in order to understand what I've read.

Very basic explanation of the pros and cons. It assumes a total beginner audience. I think that the lack of foreign key constraints and transaction support needs to be emphasized more, especially considering who the audience is.

Maybe it is. Putting aside the fact that this is a major change in the business model, the admins still have not responded to the furor. They gave a 5 day notice, they haven't put it on Last.fm's home page and they haven't assuaged users' f

Terrible. Instead of finding a way to effect change in the government, the "boss" dumps it on his employees. Also, isn't he implicitly saying that the employees are as lazy and unambitious as his friends? How demotivating is that? Then he r

What I'm saying is that the expectation that you, as a user, will have to pay for the service at some point in the future, but only if you don't happen to live in their preferred countries, was not set at launch of the service. If that expe

by batasrki 18y ago
It's bad because the expectation you set with your users is that that service is free. With last.fm, it was free, but you could upgrade if you wanted to. Until this point in time, it wasn't "free, but only if you're from the right country".

by batasrki 18y ago
I don't follow the last sentence. I do think last.fm is worth it, had they 1) made these rules from the get-go; 2) applied them equally and with no discrimination (I think this is where CBS's xenophobia fits in?) Am I on the right track? If

If what you say is true, that was not indicated in their announcement. As for market realities, it's a reality that they've offered this service worldwide. Hulu, Kindle, etc. have not. It's unrealistic to not expect a huge backlash against

by batasrki 18y ago
I realize that, but at the same time, I realize that they've offered this service for free for a long, long time. Also, I wouldn't mind it so much, if they were to charge everyone. However, charging everyone but the English, Americans and G

Call me naive, but were a large percentage of users to leave, they will be hurt. Not just from the traffic and revenue perspective, but also from a reputation one. Take a gander at the comments. There are not just normal users, but also ind

I'm from Canada, too, and I've been listening for a while now. They don't always play the best music, but the variety is nice. Having said that, I think this is a load of horse manure. I don't think that charging some, but not others is ver

I also had the distinct feeling of him ragging on the software in its 1.0 version, while comparing it to a mature framework like Rails. I do agree that this is MS trying to play catch-up and is trying to prevent developers from jumping the

Why is this on top of HN? The dude compares apples to oranges and glosses over one of the most important aspects of FF, which is the extensions. By the time Chrome makes the extension architecture available to the general public and develo

Also, this is a terrible article. Only business dudes would support the worst option for the resolution of this dispute, settling behind an NDA so that Tom Tom can violate GPL and no one can know about it. People like this piss me right off

I was part of it from the beginning and really wanted it to go somewhere. The rules were a little stringent, but I thought it'd be good for people. Too bad this didn't work out.

Dude, have you met the man? Or are you regurgitating fables told to you at bedtime? Seriously, calm the hell down.
