It's not "giving tools that people are willing to buy", it's "selling tools that are profitable". iPhone or not, if there wasn't a business reason to support HTML5, I'm positive Ad…

The truth is that people who use Groupon-type deals are the last kind of customer your business wants. I'd really like to see a study that proves this, because unless this is true …

Then I'm not understanding the definition of "polarizing". By my thinking, a polarizing movie would have distinctly good ratings to go alongside distinctly bad ratings, i.e. Twilig…
