Security against NSA/espionage really shouldn't be a concern considering nobody that paranoid would even use this app, let alone pay for it.

This is great! I could definitely see myself using this if my life was more interesting than home -> work -> home (mon-fri).

And if weather permits, home -> beach -> home (weekends).

Either way, it works in favour of Google to the detriment of MS.

It is not clear what metrics are used to measure progress over time.

The business model of Pricenomics seems to be that of placing more power in the hands of the consumer, increasing buyer bargaining power. This is what many vendors, especially tech vendors such as Apple/Google try to avoid. Product release cycles are kept secret for good reason.

>So? Is Gold a ponzi scheme too? No, gold is used in almost every electronic device because of its conductive properties.

I've never enjoyed using Java.

If you have time look at Scala (Scalatra/Play Framework) or Clojure (Ring). You can reduce the size of your codebase dramatically.

Sounds like an interesting game. Too bad I can't see any of the images.

I think it shows an internal party struggle. People in the Wiki Leaks Party disagree with the way it is being run -- basically a vote of no confidence for JA. Not damning, just embarrassing for the WLP.

I also find the graphics to be a little bit difficult to read.

It is hard to tell where the lines lead, so I need to rotate the globe. Also for European nations, it is very messy because some of the countries are tiny and all trade with each other. There is also no way to see arms trade over time, which would have been quite useful since the data has a time-series.

Very pretty looking 3D graphic though.
