sledmonkey··on Legislation to stop US border agents from demanding passwords is on the way
My understanding is that the Border is not technically U.S. soil and as such the normal laws don't apply there.

This looks incredible, well done. Maybe I can end my search for a modern Myth?
sledmonkey··on A Passive Income Hacker's View on Wealth
> One good passive income generator is not enough for the long-haul. One will need 3 - 5 different niches to be comfortable for many years to come. There is lots of volatility and some niches will eventually fail.

I learned this the hard way. I had a great passive income site that was at one point making $12k a month. Spent more time tweaking text and other (in hindsight) trivial things than finding other passive income methods and when the gravy train failed I didn't have anything to fall back on.

sledmonkey··on How eBay Worked With The FBI To Put Its Top Affiliate Marketers In Prison
From my limited understanding of cookie stuffing you are trying to get the ebay cookie on someone's computer without them knowing and without actually promoting anything for ebay. In your example you would actually be promoting ebay products although i'm not sure if that is sufficient to be legit. Haven't looked at the ebay affiliate terms in a while but you might be limited to placing cookies only when they click through in a link.

If he's doing around 2.8-3.2 million pages views a month he's most likely in the premium program that allows for things like that.
sledmonkey··on "Big Content" Is Strangling American Innovation
"Another theory is that we're going to see a hollowing out of the middle tier of the film and TV businesses. You'll have giant studios making giant movies, and you'll have tiny indies making tiny movies. But there will be no middle ground, because it will no longer be profitable."

It seems to be the with many things these days. Many markets have moved to a more bifurcated structure. You see it in things from airline classes(how many have coach, business, and first), economic classes, video games(as mentioned in other comments here, the list goes on.

Devils advocate, is it much more of a step then downloading all the other software updates that have been released since you acquired your disc?

sledmonkey··on Idea Guy Looking for Developer
I just had an idea man want to pitch something to me but he wanted me to sign an nda before he would even tell me anything about it. Sorry, i'm not going to put my projects at risk just to hear it.
sledmonkey··on My first six months of programming: from man-rodent to partyman
This is great. I'm working on learning objective-c in pursuit of making ios stuff as well and i can relate to many of the hurdles you've faced since I'm going through them now. It's frustrating but it's good to see someone come out the other side.

sledmonkey··on Report: iPhone 5 Will Be 'Completely Redesigned'
good enough isn't something apple seems willing to compromise with on their displays. they were pretty clear about the 300ppi benchmark and it's significance when they announced the iphone 4. my guess is they never dip below that again on their phones.

sledmonkey··on Apple's ping is a big pile of steaming dung
The biggest problem for me is finding artists and people to follow. Why can the Genius feature look at my library and suggest music to buy but in Ping I get 14 suggestions that are all unrelated? Ok, facebook and apple are sorting things out, but why do i have to enter email addresses? Why can't it look at my apple address book and at least let me pick from that? Very messy rollout and I can't help but think apple's secrecy and control is going to burn them here.
