ReplyKindle added parental controls in their updates this past summer which "brings additional parental controls to Kindle Fire, including the ability to password-protect purchases, disable access to specific content libraries, and block access to the Silk Web browser." If you have an e-reader with web access (which all of the current Kindles have) you can add a parental controls app that also manages browsing. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=apps#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_8?url=search-alias%3Dmobile-apps&field-keywords=parental+control&sprefix=parental%2Cmobile-apps%2C237&rh=n%3A2350149011%2Ck%3Aparental+control .

ReplyLooks like the AT&T iPhone5 doesn't have the radio to work on VZW. The Verizon version has the capability to work on both types of networks, but unfortunately not the other way around. http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/09/12/iphone-5-att-vs-verizon-vs-sprint-which-carrier-is-best/

ReplyI don't think so, even if there is a GSM sim card the software seems to block it according to this article. http://news.cnet.com/8301-33620_3-57453658-278/i-can-roam-the-world-with-a-galaxy-s3-so-why-not-the-u.s./

ReplyGood news for buyers of the iPhone5 from Verizon. It allows you to insert nano-SD cards to work on GSM networks. Meaning it is portable across other networks, a true world phone. This is great news for travellers but remember you probably signed a 2-year contract with Verizon to get your phone so you'll have a bill to pay or an Early Termination Fee. http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/21/verizon-iphone-5-unlocked-att-t-mobile-video/

ReplyBeing open to learning new things isn't value relativism. And I believe that applies to both restaurant reviews and understanding how others may view political subjects.
I don't believe your comment is trolling.

Those will sales under $1 million/ year don't fall under this. Beyond that, I'm sure that there will be affordable e-commerce solutions. Of course, makes more sense to put the burden on businesses of this size and up than relying on consumers to self-declare their 'tax-free' online shopping. Think of the small-businesses that do collect their local taxes, they have to compete with online sellers who offer a 'tax-free' discount.
