I think the implication of 'fake business name' is business name that is not registered as your business. Otherwise, why have a qualifier? Anyway, what I mean is that the OP messed up with registering his business.

Are you reading between the lines here? I didn't read fake business name. I read 1) business name 2) personal account.

I wish Google would just hurry up and buy or copy dropbox. I don't want to make online backups of my offline data, offline backups of my online data & all that mess. I just want my docs in my dropbox folder, edited with Google docs, Zoh

The point is still a good one though. The market was fractured when they entered. It is still fractured & it doesn't seem to need Google to stay that way.

I think this is just semantics, the definition of 'launch' for this purpose can be pretty flexible.

My Favourite soundbite" "Over-engineering is poison. It's not like doing extra work for extra credit. It's more like telling a lie that you then have to remember so you don't contradict it."

That's a great way of figuring out how the law is broken."Un-willful" patent infringement shouldn't be stopped. If a patent is likely to be violated without intention, that really means that the (social good) justification for the patent is

I think this is a feature (or bug) of capitalism. Capitalism (or socialism for that matter) is a hard to use term. No one agrees on its real meaning. Free is definitely a premise. Honest, I'm not sure. I think many free marketers argue that

That is where the problem comes in. Something like that needs to surface. If it is a huge bank, people would know. If it a little 'broker' people might not. What Jason is trying to do is bring this to the surface. He attempts to be part of

I hope I am not being voted up because people think I'm saying nothing morally problematic is going on. I meant to offer support to the grandparent comment. There is such a thing as an immoral yet free transaction.

they're charging for access to their call center basically. I don't really see anything wrong with that. Rubbish. They are charging people to download Firefox. The reason they can do this is because people don't know it's free. If you app

The premise of capitalism (especially capitalism as moral philosophy) is that if two parties come together & a transaction occurs, both walk away better off. Otherwise the transaction would not occur. Therefore, it cannot be considered

Yeah, I agree. A lot of the problems to do with digital content is because it is trying to behave like it isn't digital content. The "rules" of lending a book in physical format are determined by physics, psychology, & the like. People
