TapTapSee, I have a proposal for you. Deal to all the complains about how much you charge for either 8C per picture or less than 35C per day, what about this as a proposal? Charge by picture. $5 for one picture, or $50 for 100 pictures. These people, like the chinese said, "know how to eat, but does not know the price of food, more so, the price of making the food". Let those whiners have real reason to whine about, or shud them up. Maybe better off, just shut off the service, cut the losts, and like those whiners said, let them find the alternative that they so looking for it.
