1. twice the rates? That's outrageous. You do know it's SOP to regularly get quotes for your merchant account? First data will match those quotes. Think of their (typically) annual rate increases as motivation to do your job and get the quo

I stopped reading at the same point. There are people confused by everything about computers.. if he hasn't met one confused about folders, then he doesn't have the experience to write his article.

no, the site validation AND the second link do NOT include the company name in the SSL cert when you click on the cert details. You need an EV cert for that. The site seal with a popup that includes the company details is not what me nor th

the certificate says run by "unknown" just makes me cringe. It says that because it is not an EV SSL certificate. go to amazon if you want to see the same message, but from a verisign (non EV) cert.

They're paying 30% to facebook just for processing payments (in fairness, Apple and Google take the same for mobile apps). I think it would be tough to build a profitable business spending that much for something so basic.

At least one big reason is Facebook.. it requires Zynga use its payment processing system that takes 30% of sales. So there's 100+ million right there.

hopefully the site will grow larger and he'll change that. They're taking about 1/3rd more than if he opened a real merchant account.

aww... I'm holding an ATT iPhone 4s that says "4g". Maybe Verizon should make the appropriate payment to Apple for an "upgrade"? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401422,00.asp

They have an api for mobile apps. If you haven't purchased it, doesn't that tell you all you need to know?

No, he definitely means the following day. He continues: If by next Thursday you still haven't paid, then that 10% turns into 20%. If you leave it for a month, congratulations, your invoice is now 150% of the original. 4 weeks in a month.

>> This won't work in practice. There are laws in place to prevent sky-high compounding interest rates, late fees, etc. True, but payments for services rendered are generally not considered loans and usury laws don't apply. If I was

A starting businessman should NOT be apprehensive about sending out invoices. There is no shame in asking for someone to pay for what they have purchased. REMEMBER: you're doing them a favor by not forcing them to pay up front. A 30-day sam

I completely agree. Forget about Oracle's treatment of the OSS community.. At the end of the day, Oracle AND centos are 3rd parties, and will always be playing catchup to RH's patch releases. So for important or internet-facing servers, if

so oracle says during 2011, centos was slow with updates. Centos responds: no we weren't.. look at this chart of 2012 CentOS was terrible with updates during 2011.. and there's no guarantee that it won't happen again (after all, it isn't pa

ksplice was supported in rhel.. when oracle purchased it, they announced they were going to drop rhel, and then turned it into a 30-day free trial-- after the 30-days, you must switch to oracle linux to continue using ksplice.
