There are some interesting hurdles, and you've done a great job of thinking of a few of them! I can see three likely async solutions: SMS style message based (explicitly not real t…

That's absolutely valid, CR exists because customers don't know what to do next. That said, there's a lot that could be done to mitigate that. - High phone support visibility on ho…

A touch interface, for one. Emulates are find and all but I find their inaccuracy frustrating more often than not. Further, it's not just a 20 year old game on an emulator. Somebod…

I'm largely a fan of the idea I've felt the burn of the "I paid full price for this because I appreciate your work but now it's 33% off?" moment (Borderlands anyone?). I want to se…

I felt the same about the thumbnails. Then I checked out the new articles and could easily pick out the spam (Indian Party Wear Sarees in this case). I don't think it's so useful f…

I'm wholly relieved that someone else thinks this way too ( still aware of the fact that most thoughts aren't unique). I never came to the conclusion of metamorphosis, however. Jus…

One could argue that applies to sci-fi as a whole, but some how Vingie's vision of omnipresent dust motes seems more likely (certainly given several hundreds years of cyclical prog…

As a consumer I personally prefer Amazon Payments. They already have my information and their checkout is familiar. I can't say if they support international payments though (but t…

I've had more luck with the QtWebKit Bridge: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qtwebkit-bridge.html than other options (primarily Titanium). It's a bit more complicated and requ…
