Was chatting to some people about this today. One distinction I would make is the difference between getting the finished product as a reward or getting another incentive as a reward. If I start up a kickstarter for a video game and I fail

Yeah, I think there is a niche for this. One of the main criticisms of vine is that there is a certain magic to pictures compared with video which comes off as more real. We don't want to save the reality of our lives, just the filtere

The key point I think here is the transportation of people from the airport to the car lot. An airport should absolutely be able to put a fee on this. If customers were able to make their own way to an offsite lot I don't see what the

Sure, but can the pizza guy come in and sell you pizza in the stadium, then take you off the property to collect?

Not sure what other cities are like but in Melbourne I can't justify the price difference. The times I have used Uber I have had a coupon or wanted to take a nice car to get to a specific event. Our taxi system isn't great but is

Because despite the freighting costs a country like China can still make cheaper cars for our market. Even if the whole chain is here it is likely going to still be more expensive. If this wasn't the case then it wouldn't have bee

Internet shopping from overseas is massive here now. The days of price discrimination are fast coming to an end if business wants to stay competitive.

Can't that argument be applied to most produces that are now produced in places like China? We aren't saying that Australia shouldn't have engineering and development skills in these areas. Manufacturing and assembly absolute

To be fair you can get the cheap supermarket brand for about $1.10. I would agree though that you can be looking at around $4 for something decent.

I can see the benefit. It is a totally different architecture to your service. Meaning no chance that the thing that brings down your service is shared by you services servers and the server running your status page.

They should start using that against patent trolls.

Also there is much more chance a bad call will get listened to because it is more likely the customer will complain.

At some point though the market expects this trend to reverse and the quarterly numbers to start looking very good. Which is what has been priced into the current share price.

I guess they are still sitting on cash reserves. There is a profitable business in Zynga, as much as some people hate that. They need to downsize and make more targeted bets.

I think a lot of the business is probably generated because they are sold out all the time. Raising pieces threatens that.

Yeah, that kind of feature is getting built into a lot of price comparison based sites now.

Any idea if the thing can run via a proxy? Could be a fairly clean way of using Netflix from Australia.

Yeah, I just don't see how the angel investor has all the power here if they are interested in getting something back from the investment.

What is wrong with 10 hour single player AAA games? These generally offer the most refined interactive story type experiences. I much prefer one of these to most movies.

It is possible though that this kid might not relate to the kids in the local neighborhood that well. With the Internet now though I think this starts to become less of a problem, if you are an outlier you can now relate to like minded outl

"Give me a list of all registered developers email addresses" is a little harder though.

They can make money on volatility, up or down. My uneducated guess is that they use the quarter figures as an indicator to make it easier to push the price down. I don't think there is any long term reason for the stock to go down base

Was the alternative likely to be any better on this front though?

Such hate for ping pong tables. I can't think of a better way to get a bit of energetic competitive sport in to relax you and break up the day, all without leaving the office. Sure if you spent $50k on a games room I can see where you

I assume you are talking about iCloud? Not sure most would agree that it beats Dropbox on ease of use. Everyone who uses a computer to store any kind of unique content at all is a potential Dropbox user. Many people just don't know it
