The beauty of this is like so:


1. User pays same amount for 'capped' bandwidth regardless
2. "Developer" pays for their bandwidth - even though it doesn't really line the pockets of the user with any savings
3. "Developer" passes buck to users with higher prices/more ads.


Wham-bam, thank you ma'am.

Moo

Meh, at that cost ($9/mo?) - developers using it for non-android purposes will move away to a VPS. Giving the platform really just exclusivity for Android app makers for the publicity perks. The instance and bandwidth expenses are garbage compared to AWS.

Well, at least it wasn't a patent for a linked-list. Oh wait, that's number: 7028023.

I try to work my web-apps in the MVC style -- or at least the "VC" style. The browser is the view, the only thing it gets sent is data to display. It is fairly simple to through a debugger up and see exactly how the server API works, but it's also fairly simple to ensure your API is only servicing valid requests and all data is being validdated/escaped/etc.

People drive like shit with two hands none the less put more manuals out on the road ... Lower the damn speed limits! Everyone's in such a damn hurry ...

Uhm, that tax already exists: It's called lower miles per gallon with raising gas prices. Does it hurt them enough to pay double in gas than they would have 8 years ago, to switch from an SUV to a car? Nope!

Mod this up!

Why the hell isn't this modded up?

At the butt-rape cost of switching to Oracle, they could hire an extra small army of programmers to turn MySQL into FBSQL and give the haters the middle finger (Hell, they're already there from what I understand).

To add, the 'hulu plus' still slams you with ads ...

For OCD purposes the quote from the movie is "My old pappy used to say 'He who fights and runs away can live to run away another day'" . It was "Bret Maverick". And in the end they had a line talking about how he always misquotes his dad.

I have a hunch going to jail isn't even the worse threat they've encountered ...

He who runs away today can run away another day - Brett Maverick (Or his 'pappy')
