Especially if you hold some shares :) I thought that the potential profits of cloud business were already being factored in the current evaluation, but apparently it was more profitable than the analysts (which were probably imagining the s

My thoughts exactly. A difference between US and Europe is that in EU countries a degree is cheaper (or completely free if you meet some financial and grades requirements), since it is subsidized by the state in many cases. But I agree with

Since there are probably contrasting point of views on most of the points you list, how do you propose to choose the one to reccommend as "correct" ?

This was because the company behind Ubuntu (Canonical) shut down the service, they didn't go under themselves. If the cloud infrastrucure is Box's, and they cannot pay the maintenance fees anymore, I would start seriously worrying

You are working in country which as to pay for things like roads, military, firemen, police, health services, schools, pensions using taxes from companies and citizens living there and this country is not seeing a single euro from you (whic

If you are BASED in Italy and register in Ireland or Estonia I'm pretty much sure you are breaking the law, EU or not.

Yes, it does work quite well. In case of doubts, you can book (again, online, with a digital certificate) an appointment with the local "hacienda" branch on one of the available slots and have a clerk filing it for you. The last t

Not really, Ruby ON RAILS became the shiny new thing, and was released in 2005.

Considering that nowadays every tab is basically an independent application (in Chrome, literally), if you have 20 tabs open is equivalent of having 20 separate applications open, it's kind of pointless complaining about RAM usage of t

Uh, sources ? It has the same amount of RAM as most ultrabooks (the base model it has more than the base Air models or Dell XPS ones, actually). The keyboard is shallow, but I haven't seen it described as "awful" or even &quo

Um, some sort of convergence between iOS and OSX ? A niche where Apple has still not entered is that of hybrid laptop/tablets (or simply laptops with touch support), it would be interesting to see their take. But this would require maj

I think go and node are more or less of the same "age" and "shininess"? EDIT: Very much so, they were actually released to the public in 2009.

For someone with only limited HTTP/Javascript knowledge: "The more dedicated cheaters will hit the button API outside of the browser, which is pretty hard to stop" How this would be accomplished, I guess from the command line

The Anand article is spot-on I believe. It's not a processor that is meant to be doing sustained heavy work (compiling, gaming, simulations), but attend to small burts of CPU loads and then go back to low power mode. It seems to me it

My (very subjective) guess, is that many of those 40 millions Spanish speakers in the US speak English as well, and the percentage of those who don't and would use an e-commerce site is low. Still, I would imagine major e-commerce webs

No, it says it on the front page: "Although applications like Whatsapp, Google+ or Candy Crush aren't there yet you get many others such as Telegram, HERE maps and Cut the rope, and web apps like Facebook and Twitter" Now, tr

Don't misunderstand me, I can see your point, and it would be a feature I might want to use in some cases. But apart from the data and tech you need people implementing it, and I can understand most companies not seeing covering your&#

Thanks for the lead. It appears also on Amazon Spain at just 160€. Are you happy with it ?

It would be quite a bit of work, to attend a very limited use case. Every Catalan (or Galician, Valencian, Basque) speaks Spanish, as do the vast majority of the expats I know (and I'm one myself). You can still access the specific sit

My thoughts exactly. The same cited article "with sobering conclusions" from Anandtech says exactly that. More than erratic, I would say it's very "flexible", since it can be used by different devices with different

I stand corrected. It still does not look anything like a (recent) Macbook, imho.

by Kurtz79 12y ago
How exactly this resemble a Macbook in any way ? It is not unibody, it is not aluminum, the screen is basically without bezel. This is the first non-Apple ultrabook that is genuinely interesting to me, design wise.

Also, a few years down the road, the relevant experience you have will weight orders of magnitude more than your degree or PhD. Right now, your decision should be based mainly on what you would like to do be doing in your professional life

You can hardly compare an embedded software running on an Airplane to an Internet facing web server.

This is basically a advertisement plug for the blog author's company, trying to ride on a popular and controversial article, catering to those (many) that disagree with it. There are worse marketing vehicles, I guess, but it makes me g

Thanks for making my point. I live in Spain. Fifty years ago there was a dictatorship here, people weren't even able to speak their minds freely, without fear for their personal safety. Castillan language and identity were forced upon

Agreed. I cringe when people say how things are going for the worse constantly.

You are making the assumption that without these programs people would actually do something themselves to solve other's problems. In my opinion most people would just try to rationalize it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

It is dishonarable in Japan to live in your parents' home until you find something stable ? Or to live in a flatshare ? The average salary for those Coffee Shop dwellers is higher than a starting salary for many jobs in Southern Europe
