Right. Like, for instance, I need some line smoothing code, but I don't want to use that in my closed source project because I don't know how far GPLv3 infects my project.

Be warned, that code is GPLv3. I don't know the specific legal issues with using it or porting it to another language, but if you're going to use it you should check.

Pirated fonts aren't precious content.

But who wants to pay to tweet? With the business and culture they've built, they don't have a way to go back. They have to stay free for everyone, they have to show ads to make money, and they have to kill 3rd party apps to make sure the ads get seen their way.

If you want Twitter-that-was, ADN is your best bet at this point.

Because their customers are advertisers, and their users are people who follow Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber. It's not the same service as it was when it started, when the API was important to them.

Better advice would be: Don't depend on someone else's API when they've made it quite clear how hostile they're going to be towards you.

A nice little piece of history. It's easy to forget how PayPal used to be a darling company instead of a pariah.

"What happens to the tokens when people pirate this app? Does it count towards their limit?"

Almost definitely.

"Preaching to Reddit"

Fine. How much does it cost to build the machine that mills the case out of a block of aluminum? How much does it cost to employ the people that design the hardware, that write the software? How much does it cost to market, distribute and sell on a global scale? The cost of an iPhone, or any mass-produced product, is WAY more than the cost of each individual part from NewEgg.

"This iTunes need eliminates a large segment of technophobes."

Really? It wasn't even 3 years ago when all iPhones required iTunes syncing to load music. Every single iPod, since the very first one in 2001, have required it all along, and they've done fine with "technophobes".

Well that's no good. Thanks for letting me know, I will take a look.

That explains the complaint about DRM-ed downloads. I don't believe that's true anymore for any of the major services.

My coworking space comes up on the drinking site.

So that's pretty accurate, actually.
