FB has but to do one thing to remain king of the heap and that is to maintain focus. The more junk they add to the site, the more ads, games, stupid apps (find out who's stalking y…

When you resort to callous language you demonstrate a lack of creativity. There's an energy drink company up here in Canada with some rather terrible ads but one thing I do like is…

Erm... no. Apple announcing iCloud is kinda like Palm announcing WebOS a couple of years ago, streaming music from LastFM (though iCloud doesn't stream), getting your pics up and d…

Yay!!!!!! Missed you guys too much!

There's been quite a hubbub over iMessage basically competing against all the other group messaging apps that have come out recently but I can't help but completely miss the point …

Would a company such as Facebook even want to go solo in being a credit provider? I don't see it. I do see them partnering with one of the big credit providers to create a FBCard. …

Square was my first thought, too. Yes, they could most certainly take on MC/Visa/Amex/etc. Maybe that is why Visa invested in Square? You have to get the POS units into retailer's …

I have to admit, when I heard of Remembary I though... huh, that sounds like Momento. Doing a quick search of Remembary vs Momento immediately brought me to this post. Then I read …

Hey! That's awesome! Thanks for coming back and letting us all know how you did and that I played a small part in it. (small as in that was one tiny blurb I mentioned and all the h…

At 5.9%+$0.95 or 8.9% flat? Good luck with that. Unless you can explain to me why anyone would be willing to pay near double what anywhere charges... Seriously, your site doesn't e…

Wow! The glowing reviews of Braintree really got my interested in them. So I went to their site. The best I've seen yet! Really top notch. Info flows clearly and plainly. Love it..…

Businesses do that every day. Look at the price of a book which often has two or more currency prices on it. Of course, what happened here in Canada is that stores started offering…

So are you suggesting different amounts depending on the currency and the location of the enquiry IP? Example: $30CAD, $30USD, 18EUR, 2600Yen? That's something to think about. Have…

Funny... I live with the conversion issue almost every day. Something we Canadians (and I suspect everyone doing online transactions) have just gotten used to. That said, every bar…

First a bit of background: I'm a Canadian, living, operating, and incorporated in Canada who will be charging $X/month for my service. Monthly expenses such as hosting are all US b…

The author, Mark Hughes, is correct in his write-up and comes up with a few suggested scenarios where it would be "ideal". Unfortunately for Color those ideal situations where a cr…

Facebook will remain as long as people support it. In the short history of the net we have seen sites come and go with little more reason than they simply became passe. AOL had all…

I don't think we have ever in the history of the world seen a start-up so mindbogglingly confusing. Wait, let me clarify that statement with the amendment "handed $41m". Seriously,…

Instagram and Hipstamatic are fine... for now. Let's face it, they create intriguing images today that very likely we will look stylistically dated in 5-10 years as "Hipstamatic" o…

The title says it all. I've been working on a project for quite some time when it suddenly dawned on me (as target release date after release date kept slipping) that what I am act…

When one browser (in this case, Chrome) works beautifully and the other browser (in this case FF4) refuses to operate in some capacity then that is most certainly not a problem wit…

Consumer Apps? There really aren't many out there. The ones that are fall into the new content/entertainment segment of news/music/video, primarily. Everything else has been made f…

I was REALLY hopeful for FF to make a comeback with 4. I had been a convert in the 2.X days and watched as it got bloated and slower throughout 3. Switched to Chrome in version 9 a…

This is not an issue. We currently face the same inefficiency of having to encode videos in multiple codecs today. Want your vid on iOS? H.264. Want your vid on other platforms? Pr…
