I am completely with you on this.

Couldn't Twitter just arrange a price for "business" usage of their API? The main people getting affected by this are other clients or other intensive uses of their API, but those very people are most probably trying to make a profit themselves (HootSuite for example) so why not just charge for the API and so leave the restricted API for free use. Or am I missing the point?

I'm quite interested by this: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/paypal-payments-advanced

Do you have any news when it would be available in the UK/Europe?

Wow, that's great thanks!

This is a nice approach and I think a lot of companies will follow suit. I wonder, are there any good links or resources on generating the Terms Of Service or Privacy Policies in the first place? Or is a lawyer always required?

This is nice to have it in one place, but I still not sure I like bootstrapping model data that way. Does anyone else find it a bit messy? Also, I'm using AMD/Require.js throughout my Backbone apps, so how could I bootstrap the model data in that manner, and still have access to it inside my modules?

I most definitely agree with this. Though our company has approached it a little differently than you, the combination of Require.js and Backbone.js (with Zepto.js too) has allowed us to make totally flexible HTML5 apps that are easy to test and maintain and once optimised (using r.js that comes with Require.js), we have something very nippy too.

I think it's a great combination! And after finishing three commercial projects with it we have yet to run into any brick walls... Unlike with many other JS MVC frameworks, which in my opinion, try to do too much for you.
