What he's saying is "Well, you'd be miffed too if you were in this situation." And okay, I might nod along trying to identify or understand -- to a limited degree. I'm just not convinced, especially with all of Amazon's moves of this natur

Maybe it's the image they suggest in the description: "Paris Hilton meets Larry Flynt." I'm not sure what that culminates to, but good things don't come to mind

I'm inclined to say it makes no difference, but it might. Some may have small partiality to US (or western) software, but more for support and documentation reasons. Where or from whom the code was from is opaque to most users anyway. The t

Looks like your standard fare OpenID provider. I'm not sure why they need a team of two dozen for that. Plus I wonder if they felt the name vidoop embodied all that is online identity security. The name makes it sound like a YouTube clone.

Enjoyable read, Harj. When are you guys heading back to SF? I'm sure you're itching to get back to the big pond. :)
