   That sounds interesting. How did your friends go about getting those jobs? It sounds like the kind of thing i'd do. I'd prefer not going down their as a tourist; I'd rather be involved in something if I were spending time there.

   This news is almost certainly placed by a PR agency and consulting firm aiming to create fear in companies for running outdated software. Am I contributing to this debt because my company is running iTunes9 instead of iTunes10?

    yea, same here. Though I don't disagree, I like to dress [well] in a way that suits my personality as well. Showing up in a suit to a startup does say something about you (not that that's bad, but it says something)

    I have NEVER won a chargeback. When I used paypal I just treated it as a cost of business. The problem is they dominate the market. I had two payment options, Paypal and Googlecheckout... people preferred paypal 10 to 1. There's pros and co
