The reason I rarely click through is because the rest of the story is usually just reiterations or unimportant filler. Especially on follow up stories. There are a couple of new facts at the top and then the rest is just whatever was written previously.
If you are a startup software company and you have no patents, won't you be sued by everyone else that has any kind of software patent if you actually develop something that makes a profit?
It's a portable console. A 20+ year descendant of the Atari 2600 with better graphics. The cartridges are invisible, purchased wirelessly and called "Apps" now.
I love the irony of stating that you are speaking on your own behalf followed immediately by list affiliations where you state you are President/Important. Well done.
This can't really be guy he is claiming to be. This has to be someone purposefully trying to make the real guy look like a child stomping his feet, with the goal to make IP advocates look like idiots.
If a site ever chooses to out an anonymous commenter, they can no longer claim to allow anonymous comments. They should be required to call them "identity hidden for now" comments.
Someone should make some sort of app that keeps track of all the apps that were once OK but then later pulled. Call it iDevBeware or something. It could have category breakdowns, so you could select a category you are thinking about developing an app for and it can calculate the percentage chance that all your hard work will have a short lived return. :)
It's misleading because the public is generally aware they can get a yearly free credit report. The website claims it will give you a "free" credit report however it is not free. FREE means, I don't have to make a financial transaction. Free means, I ask for something you are providing and you give it to me with no strings or further obligations.
If I told you I would wash your car for free, but then when you said OK I said well, you do have to sign this agreement that you will continue to let me wash your car, as well as check your oils and other liquids and you will have to pay me to do so, it's not really free is it? You can back out of it, sure, but you have to come to my house and go through a special obstacle course first, before I will let you out of the contract.
Oh yeah, and there's a kid down the street who will wash your car once a year for really free, but that's not really worth it.
Music radio is on it's last leg anyway. I pay $30 a year for Pandora which lets me create my own music channels based on my interests. Music channels that I can constantly improve upon by giving songs a Yes or No vote. This service I can use everywhere: At home, in my car, at work, when I am walking down the street. Pandora is on my PC's and on my mobile phone.
The only time I ever listen to the actual radio anymore is to catch the live local traffic reports during commute. If I knew where to find them via my phone, I wouldn't use the radio at all.
I'm 40 and I know I'm not more tech trendy than those younger than me. When my daughter buys a car, she is going to be asking what high def ports it supports for connecting the popular mp3 players/smart phones in. She doesn't even own CD's, much less care about an FM radio.
It sounds like the industry giants are just squeezing each other for what's left of the revenue flow from radio. Terrestrial radio will go first, but satellite radio is not interactive enough to last in the face of Internet radio.
Right now, I can be riding in my car and I hear a cool song that I want. I push a button on my phone and mark it for later purchase, or I can just buy it and download it immediately to play whenever I like.
That is the future of radio. Who will be paying who to get their songs played? We will see. But if Pandora (or similar service) doesn't play your music, I won't hear it, and if I don't hear it, I'm not gonna buy it.
If I was Pandora, and you told me I had to pay you to play your song. I would just not play your song. :)
Additional foods on the dangerous for children list include:
Nuts, Seeds, Popcorn, Snack chips and puffs, Pretzels, Raw carrots, Raisins and other small dried fruit such as cranberries, blueberries, and cherries, Whole grapes, Fresh or frozen blueberries, Melon balls, Marshmallows, Large chunks of meat, poultry, and hot dogs, Peanut butter and other nut butters, Hard candy and cough drops, Chewing gum, Jellybeans, Gumdrops and other soft jelly candies, Gummy bears and other hard jelly candies
So basically, children should eat paste, as long at it is not a nut butter paste, or perhaps be fed via IV?
Perhaps it's not the foods that are dangerous but the lack of parental involvement during eating. If you are with your child and you teach them how to eat solid food properly and observe their progress, they will probably survive the dangerous ritual called dinner.
