Most people want to pay a l... (more)

Should you finance your company with a credit card? | Oxygen Financial

"Relying on credit card debt is very expensive and makes these businesses financially unstable," said Scott, assistant professor of economics and finance at the Leon Hess School of Business at Monmouth University in New Jersey. Yet almost 6 out of 10, or 57.9%, of the nearly 5,000 firms in the study used credit card debt to get started. The report looked at credit card use by the businesses in 2004, the year they all got going, through 2006. (more)

Bank Lets Customers Deposit Checks by Taking Pics with an iPhone - Banking - Lifehacker

By Adam Pash, 8:30 AM on Mon Aug 10 2009, iPhone only: As irrelevant as online banking and ATMs makes the physical bank for a lot of your banking needs, most of us still need to head to our local bank whenever it's time to cash a check. The New York Times reports that a bank called USAA doesn't think that should be necessary, and is introducing a new feature to their iPhone application sometime this week that will allow customers to deposit checks by simply snapping a picture of both sides of the chec...

Moving money out of bank? That'll cost you - The Red Tape Chronicles - MSNBC.com

In New Hampshire, residents pledge to “live free or die.” Apparently, that even extends to online banking. An eagle-eyed New Hampshirite named Dave recently took out his magnifying glass and spotted a new fee in the small print at his bank’s Web site.

Christopher M. Park - Blog: On Goals: For Love or For Money

One interesting comment that I've been seeing a lot lately around various message boards and such where people talk about AI War is the comment that the game is a labor a love, and that I'm clearly not looking to get rich off of it. It's actually refreshing to see that sort of opinion, since I was all but accused of being pretty mercenary (and in one case "one step above a viagra ad") in the early days of trying to promote the game (a super, super, hard thing for a new indie developer with no track reco...
