Why ?
FlowerPower··on Spotify now requires a Facebook account to sign up.
I understand you.

Still I think my freedom and the artists economy and thus a free uncontrolled culture is far more important than my convenience.

I am however developing something that will make it far more easier for me to listen to all of my collections on all my devices any time, it will be even more convenient than streaming services since Ill be in control all the time.

Nujabes. What can I say, good choice lad, good choice. You know about DJ Okawari?

FlowerPower··on Belgian ISPs Ordered To Block The Pirate Bay
Welcome to the Internet in 2020, where content is approved before it is allowed on the tube. What is left of the idea of freedom through a networked world which once inspired the creation of the great tubes is now a shell for business, government and corporate interests. You shall not pass is the new greeting many will recognize. Your communication is surveiled, filtered and censored. For your own good.

FlowerPower··on I want to pay for TextMate 2
Nobody forced these people you mention to "venture into iOS platform", its their own damn money and they can do what they want.

Stop whining about the purcheses you make. If you can pay for a mac more than your salary, you sure as hell can pay for $100 for a text-editor.

I have some really nice snake oil here for you, only $199! With a promise you will get another batch in 10 years for now!

FlowerPower··on I want to pay for TextMate 2
Oh la la, look at this guy, he has money!
FlowerPower··on Spotify now requires a Facebook account to sign up.
Until Rdio pulls your plug.

Streaming services are not reliable, neither is the cloud. Hard currency is the value, its not like storage is expensive any more, there is no reason to not own your own collection and be the boss of your domain.

FlowerPower··on Spotify now requires a Facebook account to sign up.
They might have been forced to do this, remember, Spotify is not an independent company, they are a puppet of the recording industry, they have a strong interest in connecting with the social graph.
FlowerPower··on SPDY: What I Like About You
"It took me (years?) to upgrade from Firefox 3.x to 6, but then only a week to upgrade to 7."

It's just numbers, they dont mean much.

FlowerPower··on GitHub Hits 1,000,000 users

FlowerPower··on 8 questions you need to ask about your business model
And kicking on Redhat for providing support is just lame.

Redhat develops just as much if not more as other people and free software developers. From Linux the kernel to gnome Redhat is a company that performs work, and for that they earn alot of money.

Unlike his other examples of highly unethical companies leveraging benefits on others misfortunes.

Highly unethical reasoning confuses the author from noticing difference between a successful scalable business and a succesful scam.

He looks worried on his profile picture.
FlowerPower··on Google Reveals Its Stealth Social Project, Google+
I too noticed that people don't seem to care about their picture resolutions, or perhaps they just do not know about it, they dont see resolutions. The hundreds of millions see pictures.
FlowerPower··on Facebook bans KDE application, deletes user photos

FlowerPower··on Universities 'dumbing down on maths' to fill places
The average human brain has shrunk by 20% in size since the last 10 000 years. Thats the size of a tennis ball, or the size of an australopithecus afarensis brain.
FlowerPower··on AXR: A better(?) alternative to HTML+CSS
> Why would anyone do that?

Business model of proprietary software, return on investment on lock-in of customers.

FlowerPower··on AXR: A better(?) alternative to HTML+CSS
Care to enlighten me on examples of languages that got a decent head start as a reference implementation, and are wide-spread?
FlowerPower··on AXR: A better(?) alternative to HTML+CSS
Why do you think AXR would have the same interpretation across all browsers? Dont you think somone cough will make their own implementation that fucks up the rendering/layouting just for the heck of it? cough
