You have to create a new Apple ID for the store, using a different email address. Then you have to find yourself a credit card issued in that country or buy iTunes vouchers from that country online and have the codes sent to you.

No, this is par of the course for us in Australia as well. I'm not surprised, more exasperated that it still happens.

That doesn't make sense when the product isn't offered at all outside of a certain region. No local distributor makes money by not selling something.

One of Australia's 3g networks had an alternate APN you could use that gave you direct access to the internet, and an externally facing IP address. I only discovered this last month and the network is being shut down this year. It's such a

Wow. You're either being intentionally obtuse or you have no hope of understanding this. But we'll go through it one more time. A second-hand Sony television is often higher quality than a brand-new generic manufacturer's TV. In the same ve

I still maintain it works perfectly. You're getting too hung-up on where you rank each brand.

I think that by having many users using the image for free - even with the restrictions, you are devaluing the ability to sell it to people who will actually pay. Who wants to use a stock image that is absolutely everywhere?

A counter notice would imply some kind of dispute, in which case the matter is definitely not resolved, possibly headed for the courtroom. It does seem rather heavy for Godaddy to disable the entire site, instead of just the infringing cont

It is and it was mentioned in the article we're discussing. "Facebook, for example, would remove the image in a matter of hours."

I think the illustration of the idea is spot on and you're simply wrong.

She's still using the image on the business' Facebook page. Are you going to tackle that one too or is the burn not worth it at this point?

> The most interesting actions come from GoDaddy. If you file a complaint with GoDaddy and they find your complaint has merit, they will completely disable the site until the matter is resolved. What happens if I forget about the issue

This is what ultimately led me to replace my iPhone4 with a Galaxy Nexus last week. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Two questions (and I'm not trying to be snarky or aggressive here!) 1) Are you Australian? (sub question, were you born Australian?) 2) What state/territory do you live in? Because every state and territory I've lived in, it's been tyre. I'

Now run through getting your phone out, opening up the barcode scanning app and pointing it at a badge on the chest of the person you're talking to. I'd prefer to just shake hands and exchange cards. Even Bump▼ is a much better solution wit

Over lunch yesterday a graphic designer friend was trying to convince me to include a QR code on my business cards. We ran through the many steps required to scan a QR code... and end of conversation. It is a very limited technology.

This is awfully condescending towards people in their twenties and younger. > Want to indicate Settings or Setup to a twenty something? Show them a tool they've never used in their lives. > If you don't know who Johnny Carson is, ho

Exclusion from future government contracts for X years? Google is bidding pretty hard to get their FISMA-certified apps used by the US government. It's not really a direct monetary penalty, though.

A felony? Really? I have no grasp of how your laws are divided in the states and presumed the "every-day accidental crimes" would be misdemeanors. What felonies are you referring to?

I'm not sure these rules are what makes their playground profitable - only painful. If it goes on too long and too far I foresee it hurting them.

Hiding the SSID breaks 802.11 specifications and isn't actually hidden anyway. It isn't private, it was never intended to be private.

You missed his point. He was answering why they didn't try to buy the source from Palm and instead built from the ground up.

What are you talking about? Edit: I thought you were talking about MS taking a cut of game publisher's money, not Valve's. It's such a far-fetched scenario given everything we know about Windows 8 it didn't register in my mind.

> Will MS take a slice of the pie, through their distribution channel? I can see that as being an instant turn off. Valve already do, but it's not disclosed to the public how much. So I can't see how MS doing so would make any differenc

Can you give us some insight in to the decision making process when prioritizing feature additions then? It seems bizzare to me that it's taken since the first developer preview in Feburary of 2011 to get the feature in to merely the night

What about where it simply isn't available? The question isn't about the different ways to give HBO money, it's about if they'd accept that money.
