I think the way they would have gone about with messages/ft alone would have been to continue along their current route. I don't think phone calls and sms messages on your computer was something consumers were banging down the door for. Alternatively, a year from today, I think most people wouldn't be able to "live" with out it.

It's one of those "don't know you love it until you use it" features, like Visual Voicemail. So essentially, I think Apple threw the carriers a bone while making the consumers tied even more to their platform.

Thanks for the clarification.

You might still want to talk about this with a professional accountant or tax lawyer. Even though your LLC didn't make money, it made your IP. Your C corp technically has to buy that IP from your LLC - which cost something.

Once you are small, no big deal, if you get big you might have a problem at hand. Definitely talk with a professional to make sure you are taking appropriate steps in transferring the IP.

What's your thoughts on this? I think it was a smart move by Apple because the carriers will see an huge increase in SMS and voice activity (which should = more money for them if folks have to increase their plans).

It's also a good move because it shows that Apple isn't set on completely cutting them out of the picture. They could have easily gone the "All FaceTime audio/video" route which cuts the carries out of the equation, except from a data perspective, which is probably the most taxing aspect on a network.

But, what does this mean for Apple? Maybe the carriers will be more willing to play ball with Apple because they are not trying to completely exclude them from the equation?

Tabasco for cleaning? Sounds like someone accidentally got their hot wing fingers on the board and discovered it cleaned it nicely.

I completely agree with the markers. Finding the "good" ones made a big difference for me.

I've used Windex for over a year now. For me, there is no difference between the center of the board (lots of windex) and the very edge of the board (no windex).

I use the "click to flash" plugin on Safari to block flash. On YouTube, the html 5 video version loads 100% of the time for me. I also have no problem with playing them full screen.

Am I missing something or do I just not watch enough YouTube to come across the problem you are describing?

Just came across this. I remember MakeSpace got some press a few weeks ago. I tried looking for a similar product but didn't see any - this this is definitely one.

A good friend used this idea to teach himself Objective C. He did pretty well I think.
