Nor I, but I imagine it just takes a little while to send tens of millions of emails.

I just subscribed and... I feel so wary if you aren't asking for my CVV or Billing credentials. Why do banks even allow you to bill without those details using only CC# and Expiry Date? It feels more than a little suspect and weird (though

The way that that quote gets used doesn't make sense to me. Even given that all truth does pass through those three stages, that doesn't mean that something passing through the first two stages is especially likely to be ever accepted as se

You'd be likely to hit import taxes on that.

The pricing isn't just confusing, but (unless I'm misunderstanding it...) also plain stupid. For example, as a monthly plan it's $30/month for anytime access up to 5 hours a day; but also $30/month for evening access up to 3 hours a day!?

Are there any guards against using the cheaper "early morning" plan against a fake timezone to make it a "daytime" plan?

Depending on what you classify as a "matter of weeks", I count five devices in the latter category.

Why is iOS vs. Android only useful for people in the US?

An important caveat: IE9 mobile does not support @font-face.

This really needs a better source. There's no citation provided, and Wikipedia can't keep any details of his death up without one. Basically, I have a spoonful of salt to hand.

What sort of fragmentation are you concerned about in particular?

I can't envisage it being released before the first ICS phones hit the market (for relatively obvious reasons), and can easily imagine it taking at least a month from then.

The Nexus S has a 4" screen. The Galaxy Nexus is 4.65".

Really? That's a shame: I was hoping vaguely that the OpenMax AL stuff might get that bit closer.

The choppiness in the UI is awful, but it's not solely the result of a lack of hardware acceleration (though it's no doubt a contributing factor). Google have said [1] that it's primarily the result of lots of GC rather than drawing perform

Users signing up in Europe will form a contract with Facebook Ireland Limited, who are registered and operate under EU law. It's not just a legal entity either, there's a pretty sizable engineering and support presence.

"Expect this company that I'm dealing with to act within the law" is almost always reasonable.

One might still wish to benefit from some of the undoubtedly useful aspects of Facebook without needlessly surrendering various rights to their data as enshrined in European law.

For those that aren't aware of it, Drew Wilson's Pictos icon set is generally a fantastic piece of art and brilliant tool for anyone designing for the web.
