This seems like one of those comments people will link to in a few years when VR is ubiquitous and its success obvious.

FYI the Australian Payments Clearing Association is building a new payments platform to enable instant transfers and is expected to be operational by the second half of 2017:

What you just described is basically why the patent system sucks - if your idea is so obvious that other people will think of it, it's not worthy of one. Your motive for getting the patent is to block other people from doing something obvious.

Not a personal attack, just a passing comment.

Article is here if anyone is interested (saves you a google) -

Correct - remember relay teams are allowed 5 members.

Make sure you're using an application-specific password for any application that doesn't support two factor authentication - eg, Mail.app on Lion.

Thats what they're for.

FB doesn't use Google Authenticator.

Your version plays so much better, that was really not a good way to save 2 bytes.

Do you have an example of this already happening?

It's interesting to note that 27% of Google's revenue comes from partner sites [1], aka Adsense on 3rd party sites, where the "purchasing intent" is not so clear.

I personally think it's unlikely that Facebook will not launch an Adsense competitor at some point.

Then there's Facebook credits with at least 200 million users [2], potential there to expand into off-site micro-payments, POS systems, etc.

Or "Premium Features": advanced analytics, promoted posts, photo storage, etc

The $100B valuation is reflective of the market's confidence in their potential, obviously. It's wise to be cautious, but I wouldn't write them off just yet.

It seems along with this announcement google have revised their storage pricing. On the old scheme I could get 20GB for $5/year, now 25GB is ~$30/year (600% increase) -

I think this article represents a great starting point when brainstorming, but obviously it should be only one of many tools in your toolbox. Some of the more critical posts here are attacking it as if the author suggests this is a fool proof formula for product success.

I find this funny considering you need to login with a google account to view public Google+ posts (even though they appear in the SERPs).

It's worth noting that Mark Zuckerberg has already pledged to donate more than half of his wealth to charity, in addition to +$100 million he has already given away.

This isn't spare cash, its equity. I agree with your sentiment, eg. some company giving 10% of your salary to charity on your behalf - thats obviously not a good idea, thats your money.

In the same vein, if you have equity in a company, you are free to do with it as you please - and donating 1% to charity is quite noble.

"We define a monthly active user as a registered Facebook user who logged in and visited Facebook through our website or a mobile device, or took an action to share content or activity with his or her Facebook friends or connections via a third-party website that is integrated with Facebook."

I think what the OP is trying to say, is that Fackbook (as the custodian of our private data) should make available a list of resolved exploits such that we may be aware of potential data leaks.

Eg - up until today, and for who knows how long, photos you thought were private may have been accessed by undesireables.

Why isn't there a tool that analyzes which functions / features of jQuery your project is using and generates a smaller library with only the stuff you need?

I'm not really a developer so ignore if that's not possible / makes no sense.

More likely he was doing a bunch of searches about Nigerian Scams etc before/durig sign up and they matched it that way.

Maps, reader, docs

Did Steve and Woz get on in later years?

Safari on my iPad got 100/100, but there was a small glitched box (bottom right) not on the reference page so it's obviously not a perfect test.

Interestingly, the app store will still update pirated apps - purchasing them in the process (without warning). If it were my app I would release a few updates and see if snagged you any additional sales. Would make an interesting follow-up article.

P.S No doubt this is a deliberate move by Apple.
