Interesting, I didn't know that Papua New Guinea was sometimes/often included in Australasia. It seems that the definition of Australasia differ when talking geopolitically vs Ecologically. I think it is a mistake to include PNG w

Ah, ok, I believe Oceania also includes Papua New Guinea and Polynesian islands, so Oceania is a bit bigger than Australasia.

Yeah, some products lend themselves to an obvious upgrade path (like my own where increased usage brings charges). When you find yourself in this situation it makes sense to offer a free tier as a gateway. We also get some (small) promotion

I think enhanced analytics would be very valuable to your users. In fact, without it you don't really have a product. BTW: I think that this the sort of service where Freemium doesn't make sense. You need people to get value out o

It's a nice start. Well done! I want to click on the tags that I have used so far, so that I can see a summary for that tag, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Entering the amounts on mobile could be improved if you could popup a

When you say "Google Analytics" do you mean "Google Adwords"?

Someone mentioned that this doesn't support purchasing of digital products/services, so if when you write "Subscriptions" you mean "SASS app subscriptions" I think the answer is no. (Happy to be corrected) If t

We're working on logins with payments for SASS apps at http://authic.com That said, our offering is pretty different from what Amazon is doing. We are more about letting apps customizing their login/payment experience

Awesome info, thanks. Wow, some of these phones are getting pretty large. Especially considering this is Google's flagship phone. I wonder what size it will max out at?

Is the device actually called the Nexus 5? I have a feeling that people are calling it the Nexus 5, as it is the replacement for the Nexus 4, but that's not how the naming scheme works. Isn't the 4 in Nexus 4 because the screen is

It's weird how people are happy to say genetics plays a hand in the limits of human abilities, but when it comes to talk about intelligence, there are so many people in denial. Perhaps it is just that you can't sell as many self h

You should not paint all countries in the Middle East with the same brush.

by zizee 13y ago
The countries could enforce/create laws and protect these people. To suggest that they have no power in the situation laughable. They cannot be absolved of their responsibility for this issue.

2 things. 1. You do not represent everybody. 2. Even the best current systems are not representative of what automated cars will bring. What you are talking about are still way more expensive than the automated solution will be (I have to m

I'm not trying to debate the merits of trade secrets and the patent system. I was simply making the point that if you have a market where consumers don't have access to perfect information, it is not a free market. The term "

by zizee 13y ago
A market in which the consumer cannot get access to all information about the market is not a free market at all. Information availability is a key part of the definition of a free market.

Renting a car is inconvenient because you have to go somewhere and pick it up and fill in forms, try to rip you off with insurance and petrol charges. Taxi's are inconvenient as they can take a long time to arrive and are relatively ex

Absolutely, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the big car manufacturers pursue both avenues. Fully automated cars will decimate consumer demand for vehicles as people find it much more practical to share vehicles when they don't

Thanks for the great (concrete) feedback! We definitely need to work on our homepage messaging and those are all great starting points.

Cool, will check it out. Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to licence the tune? And what are you allowed to use it for?

It's definitely on the cards. We went with braintree to start off with because they were in more countries, but I was excited to see in recent news that Stripe has started in Germany and is also rolling out a their Beta in Australia.

I like it, I clicked on US State Capitals and it started a card. My first thought was "I don't know many US State Capitals, how do I see the entire list to get started". So perhaps add a way to present all the info in a set s
