Currently eBay charges as little as a hundred dollars but up to $50,000 dollars before you can run your code against the production database. I think the open source move is a good one however some of us developers with limited resources won't be jumping on until it is "free as in beer".
Wow.... just wow. Of course its just vapor right now we will have to wait to see if they actually do it. They could always make the schema so complex it would be worthless
Exactly! As someone who could be the poster child for why you shouldn't give colledge kids credit cards, this seems like a way to further destabalize conciencious spending among the youth...
Exactly! The main complaint i have about "complex websites" is that (in it's most common use) it is used to refer to a complex application that pushes its UI over the web instead of code excecuted on the end users machine. If more thought went in to the concepts I expect we'd see better results...
Preach on brother man! That is a great point... I find current battery life acceptable but it pisses me off waiting an hour for my cell or mp3 player to charge!
Also (as someone who has worn out my share of batteries from too many charges) I would love to see max powercycles before failure numbers in the millions or higher. I think it all about a better quality product instead of better quantity.

Boom :) I totaly agree!!!!
I really don't want to be carying around a battery with enough PE to take out a city block or two
