Don't Fake Value
While trying to create picture "sets" in yahoo's flickr, I ran into the annoying limit of three sets for free users. I like a free service as much as the next person, and I understand that I'll have to pay if I want more than the basic experience, but I hate it when they try to up-sell based on arbitrary limits. Charge me for things that cost money, like more bandwidth or storage. Don't charge me to overcome a limit imposed by a simple number in the code. Grouping pictures into sets doesn't take up more space or use more bandwidth, so I'm not inclined to pay you for more sets.

Connecting to the SIP Network
I found a nice list of Telephone numbers around the world that you can call to connect to the global SIP VoIP network.

Skype on the Nokia N800
Skype was released along with new firmware for the N800 on Friday. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any links to the news on Skype's website. Even though Gizmo was already available, Skype is important because so many people already have it and there is a healthy hardware market for Skype-enabled products.
Skype is important for me because many people in my family already use it.
