Open Thread: Do You Honestly Buy Your Software?
Like you would admit that you didn’t anyways, right…? I remember in High School I had tens of thousands of dollars of software that I didn’t pay for. It was sort of a game to me. “Cracking” the apps and software and video games and using them free of charge. Ah… Then, I was born [...]

It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally here: Google Voice is now open for business without an invite!
