The 3G bands used by T-Mobile and AT&T are different and generally not supported on the same device. For example there was a T-Mobile version of the N1 and an AT&T version of the N1. They both work on the others 2G network, but not on the 3G network.
Also, a minor point, the heading for the last graph talks about the increase in credit from '99, but the legend shows '02, so I'd be hesitant comparing those numbers to the rest.
I am not a lawyer, or an accountant, or anything like that.
My understanding is that for federal Canadian corporations a certain percentage (I think 25%) must be Canadian residents.Before doing anything like registering a company in another country it would be advisable to consult an accountant.
Recurly claims to be PCI compliant on there web page [ http://recurly.com/features/ ]. Its possible they are on the list under another name, I'd give there support people a shout. I'm not sure if recurly,spreedly,etc. are actually storing the data, it seems like they might be having the gateway (i.e. authorize.net) store the data, but that is pure speculation on my part.
I am interested in doing some re-occuring billing stuff my self so do post back with your experiences with which ever provider you go with. Best of luck :)
We ultimately chose to go with recurly, but are going to look at chargify again once they stabilize a little bit. Recurly is not on the list, but in the process of doing so (I just emailed them ~10 minutes ago specifically about being a validated service provider).
Given that he is asking about recurly, chargify, etc. I'm assuming its because he wants to do reoccurring billing, for which PayPal/Google Checkout are less than awesome solutions for.
I have not had any problems implementing/using PayPal recurring payments. What specific "less than awesome" functionality are you referring to and how are the other products better? Not challenging you, just looking for a more rounded picture.
I found their documentation absolutely horrendous. Try googling for "recurring paypal" and you get a page that links to a (stated) 682K PDF published in 2006 that in actuality is only 2 pages and includes a link to yet another 300 page PDF.
Documentation that overwhelms a new developer does not make a product less in functionality or quality. Googling code examples, explanations, and blogs of PayPal recurring payment code/functionality, I found a lot of very useful information during my own development. The functionality and product have been around a while and lots of people who want to help others adopt it.
It would be strange if it was true.
Unless things have changed in the past ~1 year, Microsoft does not encourage employees to get their non-employee friends to use the employee discount. There is some fairly specific stuff about being able to use your employee discount on gifts, but not in exchange for $s or products.
Weird. When I bought MS-Office at the Microsoft store on the Redmond campus, an employee gave the cashier his employee number while I waited. Lots of people were doing that, just as openly.
The so called anti-sec movement confuses me a lot. They seem to hate script kiddies, but these people are no better, if anything they are more dangerous because they have a false set of ideals they believe they are promoting. I wish I could slap them with a trout.
In my personal experience, public discloser has legitimate uses in strong arming companies into dealing with security issues that they would rather ignore.
