Well at least it's not canada, with $400 ETFs, and a separate data ETF if you happened to get a data plan with your phone of $400. And mandatory 3 year contracts for most deals. The ETFs are charged by $20*(# of contract months) or $400,

I think this comparison is a bit unfair. The guy who made Winamp had significant experience in creating audio related programs. Winamp had a lot of audio tweaking/editing-like features also. By taking his investment of knowledge about au

Google has an api for such situations as these (I think), so I don't think facebook actually gets your credentials.
