What about perhaps a combination of the two ways? Fragmentation and access restriction (lets face it, banning is just complete access restriction) Those users who are noted as being excessively mean spirited should have to learn to play in

My main issue with Mturk is not being able to sign up as a non-US company. It's not that I'm angry at Amazon or anything, I just wish that they would come to the conclusion that our money is just as green as everyone elses.

I'm no marketing expert, but you don't need to get on TC for your company to get traction. I've tried in the past like you to get on TC and I was unsuccessful. The truth is I tried sending emails to all the "big name" blogs and nada. I lear

I just got my iPhone 4 yesterday. I love it, I really do.. I haven't been able to replicate the deathgrip to the same extent that others can. Best I can do is drop 1 bar.

Is Windows Phone 7 going to be another cathedral, a bazaar, or will it be a half-assed combination of the two? I was thinking about this, I imagine the midpoint between a cathedral and a bazaar could possibly be a shopping mall... How pro

Well now that they've fixed it, I guess I can say where I saw the error. The error was on the Financial Ombudsman website in Australia in their online dispute form. The reason why this concerned me was that some of the information they need

Someone posted a great link to an article at the consumerist. I've managed to guess their email naming convention using a google search, so have sent off a detailed email of the problem to their executives trying to "dumb it down" as much a

That's an excellent link thanks. I've managed to come up with their email naming scheme and am going to send off some emails soon.

I suppose it's the machine gun way of thinking. If you fire enough bullets at something, you're bound to hit it. Same goes with Google releasing a bazillion products.

It's a combination of Stephen Conroy's good intentions (wanting to block child porn) mixed with bad advice he's receiving (mandatory filter). Add to that a dash of stubbornness (he refuses to back down, even though he's been shown better so

I really think the reason why people haven't done it is they're trying to compete on Apple's terms. Palm trying to out-iPhone the iPhone, Microsoft trying to out-iPod the iPod, both of which weren't successful on the same level. You either
