Just thought I'd update this...2Checkout  (as of June 24, 2016) and Skrill (as of Jul 1, 2016) both announced this month they will be discontinuing operations in Turkey so there is not much left for smaller Turkish sellers with international customers unless they get a merchant account or...

PayPal is apparently turning into big brother and demanded that Seafile monitor files that customers upload to its hosted Seafile service as a condition for accepting PayPal.  SeaFile refused and so PayPal will no longer be an option for Seafile services as of tomorrow June 19. The big...

I noticed that news of Gregory Clark's little C&D letter has already made it to Reddit and YCombinator (Hacker News) so here's a little term that may come in handy in the future for any company that gets the bright idea of trying to have negative customer reviews removed by attempting to...

Looks like AWS/Azure/Google Cloud/IBM just got a new competitor (I would add Aliyun to that list but they seem to be focusing on dominating Asia and haven't really started to focus on North America/Europe yet).  Also looks like AWS just lost a big chunk of business from one of its major...

It's a LOL on many levels: complete ignorance of ISP immunity laws, past the statute of limitations, C&D sent by employee not attorney (which makes CC look like amateur hour), pathetic attempt to intimidate a site owner into taking down a user submitted review that was unfavorable to a company...
