A sentence or two wouldn't turn it into a successful acquisition tool, but given that the site includes no identifying design elements (logo, shared visual aesthetic with other marketing materials, etc), a one-sentence description would serve as a good last-minute sanity check that the user has indeed found the right business ("Oh, so this is definitely the Biketek that sells fixed-gear bicycles in Pittsburgh, not the Biketek that manufactures exercise bikes and has a business office in Pittsburgh").
Now I would really like a proper Contacts API. For custom fields, Gmail uses one format and Google Apps another. That's a big oversight, and one no one has seemed to recognize yet.

I doubt that actually. Done right the bandwidth used should be less than in a client-server model. The idea is that the peers talk to each other directly and the data does not have to go all the way to the server and back.

Facebook Busted in Clumsy Smear on Google
Well, it can be tricky, often times the XSS attack is masked quite deeply, but there are known methods. PHP strip_tags will assist, though would need to be beefed up a bit to handle the onclick, onhover, onblur, onfocus, etc events. In this particular case, simply looking for `javascript:` would have done the trick.
While the entry point is low, there are still many API's lacking which has prevented a lot of applications from being on webOS (for example, there was no mic API for the longest time).

Perhaps they're looking to grow the service slowly initially? If they announced pricing significantly lower than amazon's right at launch they'd get a flood of new traffic that could overload however much resources they provisioned for launch. By starting out with a slightly higher pricing model, they can test out the service with production customers, and slowly reduce prices to attract more business when they're confident they can handle the load.
The word "threaten" in the headline is misleading. If someone said "you can't do X unless you pay me 100 billion dollars", then replying with, "well, I guess I won't do X" is not a threat -- it's just a matter-of-fact declaration.

The Swiss government is asking Google for an unreasonable amount of work in order for Street View to be allowed in Switzerland, and Google is saying they won't be able to comply because the request is, after all, unreasonable. That's all there is to it.

I work on security at FB, and I suspect if someone actually tried this, they'd run into a fair amount of friction. A bunch of accounts logging in from a new place and immediately changing emails / passwords is pretty suspicious.

Even if they did get into the loser's account, I think we offer pretty good tools for the account owner to reclaim it even if the password or email have been changed.

For instance, in my case, I am trying to reach ad agencies, marketing firms, marketing agencies, etc.

But I am not 'very intimate' with that industry.

Blogging about the solutions for the industry, that makes sense...just trying to get more answers that relate to my specific situation (i.e. trying to break into an industry that I didn't necessarily come out of).

Assume I have no connections to any of the agencies I want to reach. How do I get to them ?

Thanks.

You can't reduce piracy per se. You can just make your product more worth buying and as a side-effect piracy may go down a little, i.e. some who used to pirate it will instead buy it. Or then more people are buying and more people are also pirating it: that'd still be an improvement.

Trying to reduce piracy will just give you a void and you still have to fill that void with buying customers. So starting from the latter part in the first place makes more sense.

But I am not 'very intimate' with that industry.

Well, in that case, you picked a kind of odd market, didn't you?

If you don't already have a very good idea of how to get intimate with at least one ad agency, you're barking up the wrong tree. If you've got no connections to any of the agencies you want to reach, what makes you think you know their problems well enough to have something to offer them?
The problem with using CNAME records in this way is that the resulting page would not be protected under SSL. Even if the resulting POST is, there are reasons to ensure that page 1 is also under SSL, such as verification that the page comes from who it says, that it wasn't altered during transmission, and simply as a matter of perception. With a CNAME record unless the domain holder provided you with an SSL certificate and you are able to do multi-homed SSL, then you're going to have to run in under normal HTTP, and with a payment system you really do need all of the pages under SSL.

Why are so many people intent on taking C away from us?

The fact that you can run everything from Erlang to Python to Lisp to a JVM on the same machine and under the same OS is thanks to C, not in spite of it!

C exposes the machine at a low level, which means that you can innovate in the language/VM space without having to beg the runtime gatekeepers to please implement your new experimental semantic. Anyone can generate machine code that will run directly on the hardware -- I recently wrote a JIT that parses Protocol Buffers 2x the speed of any existing parser. Don't take away from the the ability to do this!

Higher level VMs like the JVM can impose further constraints -- this is already possible today. But those VMs can compete for popularity in user-space without imposing limitations on the kinds of VMs you can write directly on the hardware.

Sorry, no. The FCC has been pushing a relaxation of media ownership rules that benefits the whole industry and has the active support of both ABC and Time Warner. (Active up to and including the level of buying newspaper ads to sway people towards their position that the FCC should be allowed to do this.) That fact would bar people in the FCC from working in the entire industry if the proposed anti-corruption rule were in place.

If you look farther, I am sure that more specific rulings in favor of ABC and Time Warner can be found. Let's see. For instance see http://seekingalpha.com/article/119975-time-warner-cable-fcc... in favor of Time Warner.
Also, in a corporate setting, if you make a call to a buddy in your building, chances are the data will be routed on your own private routers and never even hit the ISP. I'd say that was a big plus for P2P.

I didn't know webOS could do that. Maybe webOS could replace my Maemo N900. I have a Debian chroot on my N900 (with OpenOffice, GIMP & Apache) but don't use it that much.

Other Linuxy things that I use my N900 for that I'd like to know if webOS could do:
- vnc server
- all the usual ssh port tunnelling / forwarding stuff
- bash
- cron
- git
- curl / wget / nmap
- software repositories (Maemo uses apt)
- python / ruby / php

(Not trying to say mine's better than yours, I'd just like to know if webOS might be for me as my N900 is getting old)
Are they mutually exclusive? Serious question
Because I used to work with people that worked with ad agencies all the time. They always used to complain to me about this specific problem.

It was something I had to deal with, A LOT.

But I never dealt with the ad agencies directly. I do know that many of them have my particular problem.

I have also spoken to a few people that work at various agencies and they have confirmed that this a problem. But those leads haven't worked out.
First.. If you don't have special insight into the industry, how do you know that they have a problem, and how do you know your solution solves the problem that needs solving the most?

Otherwise new orbit's suggestions are very good

The court is, by the way, aware of that. They write in their opinion (http://links.weblaw.ch/BVGer-A-7040/2009, German) that Google’s ability to offer Street View in Switzerland is in this case immaterial to their decision. The right to publicity is more important.

They specifically say that Google is, for example, free to charge users of Street View for access if they are unable to offer the service for free. The amount of work is only unreasonable in the framework of Google’s business model.

(I personally think that the algorithmic review is good enough, at least in this case, but I also think that this view probably doesn’t square with the law in Switzerland as it currently stands. Lobbyists, no lawyers, are needed.)
Agreed agreed! I don't care for a smartphone, and don't need a tablet- bring back the PDA! Palm needs to find its roots, not try to compete with Apple and Google/HTC head-on. If HP was smart, they'd step out of the fray and let Microsoft/Nokia/RIM try to deal with it.

That is a great question, in most cases. In my case it's a bit different. As I said in reply to Michael earlier:

I used to work with people that worked with ad agencies all the time. They always used to complain to me about this specific problem. It was something I had to deal with, A LOT.

I, personally, never dealt with the ad agencies directly. I have also spoken to a few people that work at various agencies and they have confirmed that this a problem. But those leads haven't worked out.

So it's not that I don't know the problem I am solving.

I have solved a problem that I know exists. Now I need to find the market that understands that particular problem and sell them my particular solution....if that makes sense.
It being in my GMail account is handy. Like, if I sync my x@gmail.com depending on the software I'm using all my contacts, calendars, tasks, etc are synced.

The model du jour has been to build dev tools that are open source and then sell consulting. But you should keep in mind that it wasn't always that way: Once upon a time there was a company called Borland and they made their money through dev tools. Also if you really think about it things like databases are really sold to geeks, so even big shots like Oracle are selling dev tools. And on the low end even tools like Flash are dev tools too.

So yes if you figure out a new way reinvent programming you can build a business on that...

I earn the going rate for a PHP developer in my area, in a job that I love that's close to where I live. Unfortunately it's a fairly low-paying area, so although I could probably squeeze another couple of grand out of a different employer, that would be eaten up by travelling costs/etc.

If money were the issue here, I'd just go up to 5 days a week.
