Not much good having customers when you don't charge anything. If you don't make a profit, you have no business.

Looks like you did get over it. I didn't say "get over it and keep using it." You've made a decision instead of relentlessly moaning over the internet. Good for you!

Ironically, that's hardly the point either.

I think people are being a little dramatic, especially in a time where all that remains is an illusion of privacy. I stick to my above comment, but I probably should have mentioned that I only recently realised that Instagram hosts unfiltered pictures. If that's true, then maybe it's a bit questionable.

To a certain degree, yes. I mean, I know it's frustrating, but Instagram has to make money somehow. I don't agree with it at all, especially when it comes to groups such as National Geographic.

For some reason I thought of Alan Carr as soon as I saw that article photo. I mean, really, for SOME reason. Because on second look, what in the lords name was I thinking!

Nan. Enjoys classic elderly things such as walking, gardening, culture and serenity in general. Budget £20. Yeah that's right, I'm hijacking the American gift discussion. We're about to go on a skiing holiday with her and my family, if that stimulates any ideas.

I hear mobile phone pictures are the new 'thing' in the stock photo business. Must be that damn sharp quality!

If you actually believe that Instagram pictures will be used in genital herpes or baby seal clubbing advertisements. Then do so. I don't have the time to argue over something so ridiculous.

Can you share pictures on Instagram without a filter?

I feel like one of the few people that feel sorry for RIM. I mean, Microsoft has taken the solid colours and sharp corners, whilst Apple has reserved the gradients and rounded corners. There's not really much room for RIM to go with, without getting criticism for 'copying.'

Am I the only one thinking that the 109 year anniversary is not a reasonable reason to remember this historical event? Should we expect to see this every year? Is 109 a special number?

Sure, it can be perceived to be not AS dangerous. Doesn't mean that it's still not dangerous.
