Credit unions rely entirely on third parties for their infrastructure. FIS, Fiserv. Doubt Goldman Sachs can’t see it either - would make dispute handling and fraud prevention near impossible.

There still are a lot of bumps. Their billing systems remain a mess, especially trying to use it on an iPad (if I don't disable wi-fi, it asks me for the iPad's phone number). I really wanted to use T-Mobile to support their free

It's likely much more than two databases. Most MSOs outsource billing and customer service to companies like Convergent. It's a mess of legacy regions and products with different vendors involved. Try troubleshooting phone number

I believe that Amazon Payments is the only system that lets you pay someone with a credit card, although it's limited to $1,000/month (otherwise people abuse it, sending cash to each other to rack up points on their credit cards).

Daring or repeating history? Windows NT was ported to a host of platforms -- DEC Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, and Itanium. None have gained substantial traction. Had they been daring, the desktop would have been removed. Instead, Metro feels like

The reputation in the US: a company that runs infomercials. The "fill the room with sound" ads are on par with Snuggie and Big Mouth Billy Bass.

Shure is fantastic. I've owned countless pairs across various price levels and have never been disappointed. While I find that their top of the line SE535 break easily at the gym, their warranty service has been exception and lighting

You have obviously never experienced the pain of a prolonged car trip with Bose. I never knew what ear fatigue was prior to the unfortunate experience of owning Bose car audio. Thankfully, most car manufacturers have stopped using Bose.

I think the best would have been learning your tomorrow/today pattern and monitoring your use of the phone. For example, a "common" person will continue to use to tomorrow post-midnight until they have slept. The phone should monitor for la

Same experience. I've also heard from many that after the sale, the buyer complains about an issue to PayPal and is able to get their money back.

Can you elaborate on how market inefficiency is the issue? It seems others have tried similar schemes (Virgin America ran a private jet website with the same intentions), or attempted to open the market through smaller "taxi" planes (Embra

Visiting their store feels like you've stepped into a Halloween horror movie. The staff must be forced to take lithium at the start of each shift. At the Microsoft store in Chicago, it's not only empty and in the least 'cool' part of the ci

Amazon does not breakout revenue for AWS -- it's grouped into the "Other" category. Analysts estimate it could be nearing a $1B business, but Amazon has a yearly revenue exceeding $48B. I don't think the stock market places much value on AW

AT&T's is much more invasive -- it is across all of their telecom platforms (DSL, TV, wireless, wifi, etc). They also will log location information for advertising: http://www.att.com/gen/privacy-policy?pid=2506 You can find more info
