I have no incentive to switch from Grooveshark to Spotify since I'm grandfathered in to Grooveshark's $3.00 a month plan that has no ads and lets me stream to my phone.

Google does.

I experienced this exact same issue. I was pretty pissed to say the least but I called, got a human in about 60 seconds, and they refunded me as well as told me how to disable auto renew. I see no problem here.
>In addition to 96GB of RAM, each of these servers contain 32 cores (at 2.0GHZ each, 64.0GHZ total), writes at over 3 Gbit/s and reads at over 4 Gbits/s.
You would think a company like Storm would know you don't just add up the cores to get 64Ghz.
Also, for what it's worth, we just ordered 3 physical servers from Dell, 96GB of RAM each, dual xeons for a total of 32 cores, and dual 10Gbps fiber channels to hook up to our SAN. So yeah, the price seems pretty high...

Apart from that just sounding line an awful sentence, that sentence is pretty much the same as saying "well bobby doesn't eat his vegetables, why do I have to!"
The author then claims his server would be burdened by the additional overhead of SSL. Funny, because I remember reading an article back when FireSheep was in the spotlight from Google stating that SSL only adds an additional 1-2% overhead tops. Over-exaggerate much?
> It turned out Amazon fails to filter out devices that should not be supported according to the Manifest file.
Welcome to the world of fragmentation. Honestly, that is the biggest difficulty with coding for Android. I really don't think you can blame Amazon for this, however. Even the Apple App Store lets iPod Touch users download applications only designed for the iPhone (unless they changed it recently). But this is an issue you have to deal with on every platform. Apples had the big PPC/Intel issue with requiring 2 binaries, one for each processor type. It's up to you to make it as clear as possible to the user if their device is supported or not.
>3. Where are my customers?
Put your email address in the description? How about in the app itself?
>Since there are so many devices available, supporting them all is difficult.
That's like a car mechanic saying "There's so many types of engines, I don't think I can learn how to fix them all!" Programming isn't something your mom can do on her way home from a soccer game. It can take an enormous amount of time, dedication, and skill. Once again, the author is blaming Amazon because coding is "hard".
The author then goes off about a review that was left filled with inaccuracies. That's yet another problem you'll have to deal with in a service like the Android Marketplace or Amazon Appstore. If they let you cherry pick reviews, it would lead to developers burying negative reviews that reveal their application does something "evil". The more time you spend getting all upset about a comment a user left, the less time you're spending improving your game or application and the less I actually would want to spend money on it.
As for the price change, the author provides next to no information on this.
Don't get mad at Amazon because you found out what Fragmentation and trolling from commenters is.
No, seriously, there's an age limit that he agreed to when he signed up.
