That's not how the Internet business model works. Receiving data is effectively free. Transit providers charge the sender for the bitrate (high for the web host, low for the web user) and a fixed fee for the connection, which you will have

The approach of dynamically generating a callback script is more robust than pure JSONP. If your URL returns an error (e.g., 404), you immediately notice, instead of waiting for the time-out. These days, my usual approach looks something li

One of their mistakes was to publicly announce they were placing a major bid to protect themselves against patent litigation. Their opponents sensed weakness and trashed the party. This will be yet another business case for corporate secrec

Obviously the euro zone is bad, but I think you're overestimating how healthy the dollar zone is. Oil supplies are dwindling, the weapons industry is losing importance, the financial industry is not what it used to be, the car industry is n

I've heard a suggestion to change PIGS to BIGPIGS (Belgium, Ireland, Great-Britain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain). Until we get some extra vowels, we can let France off the hook.

Rich countries don't pay off debt, they inflate it away. One of the main reason for European countries to adopt the euro was to get a piece of the reserve currency pie, allowing more debt to be eliminated without severe economic repercussio

Hopefully they don't get too good at this. It's rare that a revolutionary army can lay down its weapons after the war. The French thought it would be fun to "liberate" the rest of Europe after their revolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
