In the context of e-commerce, I already have to provide a lot of personal information. So now it's credit card number (which may be autofilled + CVV2) vs string pasting into wallet. Based on current UIs, I think it's a coin flip o

I still don't think it's a killer app. Amazon's one-click is brilliantly easy because I've already done the work of adding my name, physical address, and credit card information into my Amazon profile, and I'm alrea

I think this gets into the non-standard definitions of money vs currency. I think that the headline refers to money, not currency.

I'm not sure it's that big of a deal. I'm still looking for Bitcoin's killer app, and I don't think this is it. A killer app would take advantage of Bitcoin's unique properties and become preferred vs other pay

Isn't the same as accepting dollars? Or Euros? Or pesos? Plural seems right to me.

I suspect people looking for a "leisure drive" abhor traffic as much as you. They're probably on quieter roads with fewer people, cars, and cops.

Lenovo is also launching a 28" 4K monitor this April: "Along with the resolution, we have a 5ms response time, 72% color gamut, DisplayPort, mDP, HDMI and MHL connectivity, three USB 3.0 ports and dual 3W speakers. Lenovo is prom

A little subtle, but one additional problem is that the vehicle is being matched to a ticket by the plate number's string. The result is that old tickets are being keyed to whoever currently has that plate number. A proper system would

It already has this problem, and its solution was to default sort to "Top Stories" instead of "Latest Stories." A lot of accusations that it was a money-grubbing play for pay-for-performance, but I don't think they

Even for payments, I think Bitcoin is still missing its "killer app." So far, the only viable ideas seem to have been related to exchanges, mining, and The Silk Road. Are there other business ideas that take advantage of Bitcoin&#

Agree that's sometimes happens. The site also incentivizes every single word to be explained, which makes for some pretty mundane, very little explanations. But there are times where I just don't get the reference and someone&#x27

Yes, I think this is correct. They're still prioritizing performance first right now. But when the time is right, they'll probably upgrade that capability as well. Either pushing the full resolution file up, or syncing the full re

FB doesn't need to upgrade to extra high-resolution in the news feeds -- a waste of bandwidth and time. They just need to make original uploads available via the API. I think it's safe to assume that FB has tried to keep the origi

Do you know if applied penalties are listed in "Manual Actions" under Google's Webmaster Tools? Is a 60-day penalty exactly 60 days? I ask because I have a site that had its Google traffic cut suddenly by over 75% in October.

Wow, that's a very stiff penalty if they're not even turning up for their own brand name. It will likely cost them millions. It's a clear warning to all sites out there to avoid similar tactics.
