Hi Simon,
Nice reading your blog and watching these videos. This winter we’ve built an iglo in our street with my neighbour boy of 18, large enough for 5 adults (took us 6 hours). Here’s a nice video on building real iglo’s in 1921!!!

It’s the same story here in the States of course with AT&T and I echo your sentiment. I imagine with all the flak they have received not only about their upgrade policies but even more so the stability of their network that AT&T will see a significant decrease in subscriptions when Apple announces additional carriers here in the States.

The contradictions are what keeps it going for me. Why did they initially state it was a policy, when they had full awareness of what was transpiring, now they say it’s a glitch when it is in the spotlight. Perhaps they didn’t intend this policy to be applied so broadly or be discovered and that was the glitch.

It's now made the traditional newspapers... e.g. The Sun here in the UK. From the Domino's PR person:

Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre warned: "Any idiot with a camera and an internet link can do stuff like this — and ruin the reputation of a brand that's nearly 50 years old."

Ohhhh yes indeed.

Thanks Simon!

High praise from someone who has taught us so much about developing quality software. We hope to add support for all decimalized currencies soon. So those of you as tired of staring at the USD sign as we are need no longer do so!

Let the politicians work on the macro-economies. BudgetSketch is intended to solve the world financial crisis from the micro-economy level.

Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement.

There's more here. Part 2 from about 4:00 in is the crux of it. These guys are playing a game at little or no risk to themselves, with our money, and we take the downside and they take the upside.
