But that's partly because KPN is a monolithic monopolist. It's hard when you can't get good rates on anything...

Isn't this true in general? This protects against someone walking into the datacenter and stealing a harddrive (which is Amazon's responsibility anyway). If you want to be sure the data is encrypted, store encrypted values/bl

Note that Apple still has a 35% market share where I live and I'm sure that's mostly factoring in new sales. Apples's devices have big refurbished appeal. The market share is not insignificant.

The only thing stopping you from installing this on everyone's phone however is the Apple secret police and the license agreement you sign with them. Technically it's possible with the right certificate signed by Apple.

But what about Apple? iOS is designed such that a third party app store is impossible. Why should Google have to allow a third party app store and Apple be able to "walk free" in their walled garden.

Your example of the payment button is exactly how Dutch-only iDeal works and has adapted well to mobile. The pop-out however is to your own bank's app/website, which works cause there are just 10 banks. Transaction fees? < 0.50

Start with Mac, find some good metrics that indicate that a lot of your users are on Mac and go from there. (parse your user agents for instance) Once it's proven itself, you can try Windows and some other options as needed (probably m

Ship a Mac client without video. Add video next year once you've proven that people actually use a native Mac client. Some companies call this 'agile' - it's a strange concept.

And honestly, how hard can it be? Put a 5 man team on it and in a few months it'll be done and workable. Few million down the drain but your software is insanely more useable. I guess that doesn't sell the service...

How do they determine what's a housing ad? There's two pieces to this a) Facebook makes this possible and b) Facebook damns themselves and promotes that they make this possible for housing. Part b is easy to fix: make it harder to

As a European, I ran into this with WSJ. Subscribing is easy and online, cancelling is only by phone. Their Dutch access number didn't work either, forcing me to use their international numbers at the cost of international phone call.

This was done as part of building a new metro/subway line straight through the city (the "North - South Line"). Unfortunately, it's taken this long to finish, should open in three weeks.

Would've been interesting to hear how Scratch would go over with a 7 year old. The folks over at Raspberry Pi are pushing it quite hard for education. Lego Mindstorms also started out a long time ago with a flow chart language.

Can anyone explain to me what the rationale is behind the license stipulations that Mapbox, Google Maps, etc all use for their less expensive plans "Asset tracking not allowed". It's the exact same map, but at a different use
