| You mean SPB is not one of the 600 apps? They're not American right? |

Edward the Liar,
You've obviously gone to the effort of finding some links that you believe support your story. However, it is equally obvious that you didn't bother to read beyond the first couple of lines.
Click on the second of the three links that you supplied. Then scroll down to the fourth reply, from Steve Bell, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft:
"The BIC and IBAN functionality is planned to be up and running in July, so feel free to register then. I'll also get this information documented better. Thanks for your enthusiasm to sign-up on the Marketplace!"
As you probably still can't be bothered to research this further, I should point out that the BIC and IBAN facilities are non-US banking features (in contrast to the US 'bank routing number'). Currently, all sign-ups require that a bank routing number be provided; non-US bank accounts will not have this feature, which is why only developers with US bank accounts can successfully sign up at present.
As evidenced by Steve Bell's comments, this isn't a decision designed to exclude non-Americans.
Without getting bogged down in disproving your whole article sentence by sentence, it's much easier for me to just point out that
your article is once again filled with lies.
It's a shame that you couldn't be bothered to try to find out more about the subject, instead of just lying and making sh!t up like you usually do - but hey, that's why you're Edward the Liar, right?
No doubt, you'll give it two days, and on 1 July, you'll write a new article claiming that Steve Bell is a liar, and that he discriminates against non-US developers, and makes promises that he can't keep, and whatever other lies you want to tell - but I would remind you that July has 31 days, and Bell made no promise about on which day exactly the IBAN/BIC issue would be resolved.
Sorry Edward the Liar, you can keep making stuff up and posting your lies in the hope that people will think you're intelligent and amazing and that only you know 'the whole truth' about what's going on in the world of mobile technology - but we know you're just a pathetic little boy telling tales so he can try to look cooler than he is.
Congrats on the article - another EPIC FAIL on your part. |

| Obama's "Buy American" initiative has nothing to do with software. It stipulated that iron and steel used in projects funded by the stimulus bill be purchased from U.S. companies. What does your precious app store have to do with iron, steel, and the U.S. stimulus? |

it may not have to do with software but it may give companies impression that they should treat American stuff preferentially |

Even if we accept your remarkably thoughtless and vacuous premise, I can't help but wonder: what 'secret' have you 'revealed' - as you claim in the title of the article - given that your article has now been ripped to shreds as the ramblings of a fool, and any points that you've made invalidated?
Honestly, Edward the Liar, your posts are the journalistic equivalent of vaporware - a lot of noise, a lot of grandstanding and fanfare, a lot of self-congratulation and self-delusion, but ultimately no substance; and like the best vaporware peddlers whom you enjoy criticising so often, you're entirely full of sh!t, and you clearly have no respect for your readers - whom you insult by assuming that they have no interest in the truth, and want you to lie to them - nor indeed for yourself, for if you did, you'd clearly take a little pride in what you do, rather than dragging your own name through the mud by showing yourself to be a compulsive liar.

Honestly, this article was clearly done as fodder and nothing more. Even so it would have been more appropriate to disclose all of the information so that individuals can decide for themselves as opposed to presenting clearly biased and unfounded speculative here-say coupled with sensationalized claims of failure as somehow supporting a legitimate claim.
Really Edward, you wanted to bust my chops for my article HERE by accusing me of spreading rumors when I clearly disclosed all pertinent information regarding my prediction, and then turn around to submit this kind of drivel!!
C'mon dude.

I am sorry for that Physboy but here this article was created on request from non-US developers, who feel like described in this article. It is not taken from thin air or made to be fodder! |

So you're writing what other people are telling you without first checking the facts? You're happy to put your name to what other people tell you to say without making sure that they're not talking crap?
...because I've already explained how the article has no real substance; yes, non-US developers are unable to fully register - but this is simply due to the fact that systems to deal with non-US developers have not yet been enabled, and Microsoft itself has already stated that this situation is not being ignored, and that it will be resolved within the next month.
...and yet you're still happy to defend something with your name on it, which has been proven wrong, and which you now say wasn't even of your own creation?
Honestly, Edward the Liar, given how relentlessly you persist in talking sh!t and then defending it even in the face of undeniable evidence that you're entirely 100% wrong, the only logical conclusion is that you must really get off on people laughing at you.
Sick.

Do you understand that the stimulus bill was designed to stimulated the US economy and get unemployed Americans back to work? That's why the bill stipulated that money be spent on US goods.
Maybe you'd understand it if someone made an app for your precious iPhone that explained it in simple terms. |
