...despite ICANN, not because of.
I was a loyal (and VERY happy) Fictionwise customer for a decade. FW did three things that were absolutely priceless in marketing eBooks to me.
...and that's why B&N decided to "fix" that.
You're still a complete idiot. Everyone knows that thingamabobs have more soluble fiber than both of them, and no late fees or phoning home. You'll never see them pass AdWords muster, though.
Greenwald's Baked Whistleblowers - "I've only shared my secret source itinerary with one other soul...and he's not telling."
From there:
[Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Ricardo] Patino said Ecuador was still considering Snowden’s request for asylum while also delivering what appeared to be an impassioned defense of former the CIA contractor. Patino, whose government has been sharply criticized for silencing journalists at home, insisted that Snowden’s case was fundamentally one based on the principle of human rights and praised Snowden for disclosing a surveillance program that had affected nations around the globe.
He cited U.S. refusals to extradite bankers convicted in crimes in Ecuador, saying Quito was now free to exercise its “sovereignty” in the same way. When asked if he was concerned about damaging his nation’s economic relationship with Washington, Patino remained adamant.
“Ecuador puts its principles above its economic interests,” he said.

Google, Drummond added, 'has nothing to hide.'"
We know that, and that's the problem with Google. They never have anything to hide...and when we use their services, neither do we.
I agree it brings promise for that, but a mighty LOL if you think they'll bring down the prices once the switch is made...
"Unfortunately, this time- and material-saving process is highly innovative and thus requires a great investment in 3D printers and intellectual property* that will bring prices up 'temporarily'," says the spokesmen for the automakers, insurance companies, and auto-repair shops today. The reps were confirmed to be making a so-called "air quote" gesture before "temporarily", followed by muffled giggles among themselves after.
*You don't really think someone won't try to add a wonderful 3D-Print-My-Parts insurance fee, or patent the specific process of 3D printing a car part, d'ya? Especially for each specific trademarked shape? "We've only just beguuuuun..."
Heh...though I'm pretty sure he wants the heatmap server! The client also comes free with every Like-, Follow-, and +1-button'd page anyway, so no need to plunk down for Windows Ate My Privacy.
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
