I thought they only charge your card if the project was successfully funded, so if it didn't reach its goal then no fees were charged in the first place.

The FreeBSD images can only be run on Windows instances (except for a few expensive instance types). That's why I said you have to pay the Windows tax if you want to run FreeBSD on EC2.

That should still be illegal. I thought manufacturers can only set a "recommended retail price", but retailers can set whatever price they want. Plus, in this specific case the manufacturer (Apple) is also a retailer.

What if the police officer does not answer your "am I under arrest" or "am I free to go" questions?

$6.95/year is hardly cheap these days. You can get the same for $3.95/year at gogetssl.com, or $1.99/year on namecheap.com during promotions.

The true value of Google Reader is that it is a huge archive of past RSS entries, many of which are no longer available from the source. No matter how powerful or beautiful or user friendly your new RSS reader is, you do not have access to

Pretty sure Microsoft's EULA explicitly prohibits using Windows for weapon control systems ;)

For some users, there are no viable alternatives.

I vaguely remember some apps using the MAC address of the WiFi interface as an identifier. Has this been banned yet?

I could not find your iOS client on the App Store. Does it use one of the standard VPN types supported by iOS?

That chip has to dynamically map the pins to work with USB. So, probably 20 cents.

Why is letting the US (and hence the record labels/Hollywood) control the Internet a good thing?

I agree that the UI needs some improvements. But for me, the Gmail app is the only way to get consistent push notifications for new emails. The iOS Mail.app would always stop getting new mails if I don't use my phone for a while. Also you c
