What's the advantage of going with Fixed Funding as opposed to Flexible? Wouldn't receiving the $8 million (or whatever it ends up at) be better than nothing?

Maybe I'm just not ruthless enough for business, but this does not seem like a great way to make money. I'd rather make less through honest customers who like my product, then screw over those who don't.

I've noticed this is quite common here in the UK. A few disgruntled looks are fired your way if you take out/use a tablet on the train. No idea why.

"saved time, time spent cut/pasting from archive"

Surely source control would be a nicer way than copy/pasting old code back in?

"Mr O'Dwyer will travel to the US voluntarily in the next few weeks for the deal to be formally ratified, it is understood"

Yeahhhhh he's not going to be coming back.

I actually like this. I think (hope) it will force people to put a bit more thought into their reviews. Anonymity with reviews is unproductive for the developer and brings down the quality of a store.

EDIT: However when companies like Enfour publicly slate those who leave bad reviews, maybe keeping their name private is a good thing.

Their documentation has been hit hard by spam.

Looks like a great library though!

I think that means you can use them in commercial applications, but you aren't allowed to sell the icons themselves.
