Comment on Ripple is officially open-sourceparent

As a mobile developer, these Ripple articles always trick me because to us Ripple is the fastest emulator for testing PhoneGap apps (HTML5 that runs on multiple mobiles wrapped inside a native app). An emulator for PhoneGap that runs in Chrome as a plugin basically.

From a mobile dev perspective this other Ripple is some worthless alternative payment method no one uses because PayPal has all the accounts so is easier for the user, or iTunes or Google or amazon or Samsung Fusion payments are built into their stores and protected by TOS as being the only payment processor you can use.

So an article on another payment method is pretty worthless and the name collision is pretty annoying because I have to sometimes follow the link before I see it for what it is.
