While no doubt Guns, Germs, and Steel is a good work, I will be hesitant to subscribe to ideas it presents, carte blanche. Please see this reddit discussion[1] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnthropology/comments&

Upfront cost is a major factor, which I have noticed firsthand while involved in the solar powered backup. It is almost you have to pay 20x for the solar powered back up. It is pretty difficult to convince the people in the developing world

Thoughtful comments. I have thought much on these as common person, neither in an academic setting nor who has to deal with these issue frequently. Lot of time I would argue with myself why can't we have everybody have equal rights ? W

Whatever the cost MS can't let their phones die. Consumer market is a big bet with MS phones. And if MS phone in off I don't know how they will be able to reach non-enterprise market.

I have worked with L7 for a client which offers something similar. The whole thing was painful in a way. The SOAP to JSON conversion is easy for baby SOAP or JSON requests using transformation. For larger ones they turned out to be complex.

I have heard first hand about some CEO or bosses deliberately practising meanness/curtness. The worst thing of all is I could not fathom they kind of justifying and moving on. Most likely if things are working something most be right.

I think they will go for something like ( price_of_the_book)/(no_of_pages) for a single page. So it should not be a problem though. Historically I think, may be, some of the 19 century books like Charles Dickens The Great Expectation m

The only problem with ergonomic keyboards is hands fit so nicely in those keyboards that I find it very uncomfortable to reach to mouse. A trackball in the ergonomic keyboards will be really nice.
