I have taught (as a PhD student) similar material and this is no surprise to me. But then, is it realistic to expect undergrads to turn out a thoughtful piece on LTE and 4G comms? If it is a technical comparison, sure, but even if you don't plagiarise your sources what are you really doing? You're going to read some articles on the internet, form an opinion, and rewrite that stuff in your own words. So long as they are learning, what's the difference?
I don't really see the problem here. GoDaddy products can be had very cheaply, they are so cheap with coupon codes the probably potentially make very little per sale.
All insurance companies work the same way, try hard to get a new customer, milk them dry on the tail end because they are too lazy to search out a better deal.
This is good news. For geeks with their own domain for email the free apps accounts are great. The downside is that they are usually slow to rollout new services. Looking forward to trying G+
If you waste time re-inventing the wheel (eg. HTML forms auth) for your webapp you are just allowing someone else in your space to get competitive advantage.
These are solved problems (by frameworks) and decent developers should be spending time on better things.
Thanks for the comments. I was aware of most of the issues posted; its what I hoped was a minimum viable product.
The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked.
As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!
Like the idea but strikes me it will be hard for a lot of companies to give custom deals without rewriting their backend. And even if you do give custom deals - how do you align the deal asker's twitter account to their account on your site (assuming not everyone has super zeitgeisty social logins)?
As some of the commenters on lifehacker point out, taking some kind of moral stance on GoDaddy over the elephants is going to leave you short on time and products in your life. Are you now going to research everything you buy and make sure you are on board with the CEO's personal agenda?
I agree GD hosting is horrible but and shouldn't be used for anything but buying domains. With the flotilla of discount codes available you can almost always get your renewals/new domains very cheap at GD.
