Agreed. Payments has been a quite stinky industry with lots of dodgy monopolies (see government payment providers for particularly bad examples). I'd just like to see a more balanced debate on payments. Its a very busy industry with pl

It's not really that foolhardy if there's always a career in CRUD. If it blows up or you decide it's not for you, there's always an option to pick up a contract or go back on salary. You don't really lose if you kee

Really? So if I sell this as a "product search engine", I'm immune from people claiming I stole their images. I noticed Polyvore which lets people tag and share images seems to fly under the copyright area. Such a grey area though....
