Doesn't DIAL simply cover "Discovery And Launch"? As I understand it, even the Netflix TV client has custom extensions to perform more than the most basic functionality. You also need to get that app approved onto the TV, whi

How is Portugal on the cost of living vs wage scale? I was under the impression that the likes of Lisbon are great if you earn above average wage, and the surf is awesome. Tech in Lisbon not comparable to Germany?
