    The Super Freelancer (more like snake oil salesman)

    This may come as a shock to you, but a good developer in India, hired by an US/EU company with offices in India, earns as much as his EU/US colleagues. The thing with outsorcing to Asia (India, Bangladesh and Pakistan being the most outsourced to when it comes to freelancers), is that people...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Isn't it always? I think you are overthinking this. When someone pays you a service/product, the total value includes VAT, and is treated as part of the "cost value", it´s not separate, nor it should be from the point of view of the customer. It´s not the customer fault that the state wants a...

    VirtKick, the Open Source Panel goes Commercial!

    i doubt any medium-large hosting company will use them. Just not cost effective by my math.. but I might be wrong. They want to take over sensitive business information like billing and customer data. It makes no sense for a company to give up this data, specially when they have cheaper options...

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Because that woudl make no sense, if you have a CC all you need to do is to link it to your paypal account and Paypal will take the money as you use the service. However you can fund your Paypal account by transfering money form your Bank to paypal...

    Here is another view. Paypal let´s you add fund to your Paypal account prior of needing to use the service. Answers your concern? :)

    Why Don't Providers Do This One Simple Thing ... To Make More Money?

    Yes, it´s a "credit" something that is way older than Paypal ;) "add funds" is just the frienly name, the fact is that any company can accept money from a customer to be used in future purchases. It´s not specific to services.

    Does a Verizon iphone contract really cost this much?

    Now that we "are talking" about telecomunications companies ripoffs. An employee of a large telecom once told me that the SMS's and Internet on the phones were the profit heaven for the telecoms, because their infra capacity was severaly under usage with only the "phone calls" so using the...
