Just tried it for Canada. It doesn't automatically go to Amazon Canada, but it does pop up a new "Shopping from Canada ?" spot you can click on and then seems to carry a long reference number across to amazon.ca when you do that. Good to see.

Meh, other big physical store companies aren't better, and most e-sellers here are total crap when it comes to warranties (they are inclined to to shaft you just because they know no product they sell is remotely worth the cost/time/aggravance of suing them), which is worse than anything Amazon does.

At least where I am living, good small stores are still available. Yet they often are under pressure from big corporations. I keep supporting the niche of the small guys. Their niche is quite similar to the FFOS-niche.

I vote for disable all kind of ads on phoronix and instead of the ads just let us do web-browser-mining on phoronix.com...

with this method michael gets money and no one has to see stupid ads anymore.

I think mining would also save bandwidth and CPU usage compared to most ads these days.

I'm ok with this, but I suspect that web-browser-mining will impact browsing performance, especially on mid-low end devices

And I'm sure vBullettin will find a way to break in strange ways with it enabled.
