They also have a 5-year 50,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty. I had an issue with my glovebox on my an Hyundai Elantra (same company) It was my fault (long story), but they gladly replaced at 40k miles. I'm a huge fan. I now own a Kia soul. In

I was thrust into a similar role to this guy when I was all of 24 or 25... It took awhile to learn to say 'NO', not just because it's hard but because it often led to really strong disagreements. The guys on the sales side of the product

I really think there is a HUGE gaping hole for a competitor to step in and really hurt Facebook. If someone brought out something that had sane support for what Facebook calls 'lists', they'd kill it. The biggest problem with facebook is th

It's the timing aspect, and it's particularly an issue with squats. Even at lower weight, it's far to easy to get your knees pushed forward or your back arched when trying to pump through them as fast as possible. I don't think anyone is sa

Who are their customers? It seems that the crux of the issue is that the ISP's want to extend their reach to include websites owners as customers as well. I'll never understand the ideology that all regulation is bad. It's not only laughabl

The argument, I would assume, is something more along the lines that high-quality applications strain under the load of 30% royalties paid to Apple. This is definitely true in some cases. Ebooks spring to mind as the most obvious example as

It all seems very subjective at this point doesn't it? What's the difference here exactly? If you're selling your content then you pay, if you're moving data around you don't? On top of that I'd be HUGELY nervous if I was a SAAS provider th

Essentially what they're saying, as far as I can tell, is that I can't offer in app-purchases without going through Apple. So something like Rhapsody, for instance, CAN build an app giving you access to your existing collection. They can NO

That works for a hugely small subset of apps. Each (well written) app creates a lot of value for iOs, most of those won't get anything at all from Apple. So again, why isn't the inverse true? If I'm building something that helps sell an iOs
