Wow. In 12 years mac users still haven't learned to tuck in their shirts.

I am trying to solve the same problem. You may want to check out Vodafone passport:

It's a bit more resonable with regards to data roaming (£5 per day for up to 15MB on most of the EU). The big problem I see is the USD/GPB exchange rate.

Widgets definitely put a drag on your site. But if you want to continue to support them, why not create a static page and place all your widgets on it? This way their are there, but out of the way.

Wow. lot's to digest. Just wanted to comment on #22, specifically with you examples (Facebook versus MySpace, Google versus Yahoo!, Skype versus Net2Phone, and Apple versus the entire music business). When reading that sentence, I came to a different conclusion. Yes, there is strong technology and technologists behind all of them, but I also see a strong design sensibility as well: Facebook with their clean, consistent interface vs the Myspace chaos, Google with the introduction of the simple search box, Skype is/was much simpler tool than Net2phone and Apple with, oh, everything they do.

Maybe the secret is not just technologists, but technologist coupled with a focus on customer-experience design?
