There is no entropy generation here, it is based on the Mersenne Twister, so it is pseudo-random only at this point. If none is provided, the seed is just the current timestamp. I discuss this a bit more in the docs: http://chanc

I disagree. I think companies ought to develop for every platform, companies ought to create a market, but developers ought to specialize generally. I don't think most developers are capable of being excellent at iOS development, web

A Google search is hardly the way to resolve that. OS X searches for anything with OS or X whereas OSX only searches for things with OSX so of course the former has more hits. I mean you're right that it's technically "OS X", but your metho

I disagree. Even Citibank doesn't use the "bank" part on their main website, instead going by just Citi: http://citi.com There are also many other large banks that omit "Bank" from their name such as Wells Fargo. Keep in mind this is not

While I think this may be true at first, if they gain any critical mass, the "Bank" in BankSimple would become redundant and wasteful. I think it is good and forward looking to rebrand it Simple before launch so that becomes synonymous with

I am a little turned off by the fact that I have to log in to view this information. What is the point? Is this now Facebook? I'm interested in the API but don't feel as though I should have to alert Dropbox, by being forced to login, that

Right, I did read and notice that in the article, but the distinction I'd make is that there is a big difference from "having wifi at their stores," and covering every inch of a those very large stores. Many of them are >100K square fee
