The Core

My take on it is that illinois would want amazon to collect tax on all purchases in illinois. Then it would be on amazon to send the monthly payments to the state. BUT things get weird when different counties and all of that get involved with all of their different rates. So amazon just said FO and got rid of affiliates which are the only thing to tie them to the state.

I guess in illinois this year, we are supposed to pay taxes on anything we buy out of state and use in state. I think at this point our bankrupt state is just trying to get any money they can. They doubled our income tax this year and pretty much said they have no intentions of spending cuts. Awesome.

I think a federal online tax is really the only solution but that will be a giant mess if they ever try and do that.

Does anyone know if IL is doing the same thing that NY tried or is it slightly different. Either way it sucks and it cost me my amazon aff money. I guess my solution is to move my biz out of state.

I make most of my money from pr0n still so as long as there is not a jerkers tax I should be fine.... but it is probably just a matter of time until they try to collect on that.

Here is what I get with my supposed 6mb.



Also thanks to ATT I guess I have 150gb limit per month.

Might be time to switch.

I remember downloading MP3s years ago  over dialup, and I was lucky to get 5 songs over night. Now with spotify you can stream almost any album.

I do not see it replacing facebook, or even gaining as much use or popularity since it is based on real world socializing... or stalking in order to gain access to a users photos. I think one of the reasons all the social stuff has gotten so big is because it is not really social in the face to face sense. It lets you sit home in your undz (in my case) and talk to people you normally would not.

What I got out of this "color" is that it only works if you are 150 feet or less from another user. It seemed like it was only temporary access to their images, while you are within that distance.

I find it pretty neat, but not really sure I could see myself using. Because I have a friggin blackberry.

I am sure for the right type of people, this thing would be pretty attractive. I cannot imagine all the trouble teens will get in using this in a school.

Something like this that would be interesting is a real time feed of photos based on geotagging. Like a walking history of the world through the eyes of other photographers. Like if you had an app that pulled pictures as you walked based on your location rather than on the other users.

Either way it is pretty neat sounding, but I think when it gains more use it will become pretty scary.

Lol. I have not seen that site since I "donated" for a link many years ago.

Todd has a girlfriend and pot prescription, so that dude is pretty busy. I will bug him too though.

What about Jim Boykin?

I am loving the idea of this site.

My real name is George, my handle on most internet things is either werty or wertrose.

I am mostly an asshat, but dable in the gray and white hats as well. I am known for doing PPC, but know a bit about SEO.
