I think its needlessly complex. Why do you need three screens to get email address, password and some data ? Also, since each screen simply asks for more fields, users will be frustrated. Of course, all this assuming users are going to sign

I like Saasy ( http://saasy.com/ ). It's frictionless and supports international merchants but a little pricier than other options.

Very true. I think the new money machine will be crowd sourcing. Recent statistics for kickstarter say that they funded nearly 100mil for projects in 2011. Out of which nearly half (50% in money) are media related (film/music/comics etc). P

Killing the industry is not same as making all those people job less. It's just the equivalent of killing their business model. The artists and others who you are vigorously defending will just find creative work with the new companies (I d

I prefer Murdoch's twitter rants to these articles (by fox, wsj and his other holdings). At least when he tweets, I know where the opinions come from.

That was my reaction too. I mean, no one likes to die but if we look at it objectively - death is one of the very effective ways in which society changes from old ideas to new ideas. In a hypothetical scenario where every generation lives t

I second this opinion. Since you are seeing a lot of friction in finishing up a sale, you should make sure that closing one results in maximum benefit. Regarding pricing, I don't think a single price is such a good idea for the same reason

It's wrong if they fired her because she is pregnant (and about to take the maternity leave I presume). Its almost the equivalent of firing a male employee who accrued a lot of leaves (by not using any) and about to use them.

A 50W solar panel isn't all that costly (150-200$). This model is just a way to 'loan' these devices for consumers who can't afford even those. You will be surprised by how much utility these small capacity solar panels might provide even f

That's much less of a worry in developing world. No manufacturer wants to link "selfish" word with its name in news head lines. And that is how its gonna look if they sue.
