Good theory. Yours is as good as anyone's at this point in time. Incredible, how we think that our tech is so advanced yet a commercial jet can go completely missing. MH370 makes for an incredible setup to 'Lost'.

DropBox client is better, DropBox web interface is easier to use and syncing is faster. I've had many issues with GDrive in the past that led me to stop using it abandon it and go back to DropBox. Sync issues, some files just refused t

I've had problems with file integrity and sync issues with GDrive. Files wouldn't upload/sync for some reason. Hence why I went back to DropBox after some time. DB is also faster for me (perceived speed, didn't time it).

Very good point. We are in a country that's No.33 on business friendliness list and it shows. More hoops to jump through than there are in Northern Europe or the US. So incorporation in the US was an improvement.

Because they are cheaper and there more OEMs pushing them out. However, Android tablet ecosystem sucks. Simple as that. I've had two Android tablets (Asus Transofrmer TF101 and then a Nexus 7) ... Nexus admittedly a much better experie

Spain is a horrible place to do business. First hand experience and official data http://www.doingbusiness.org confirm that.

That would be logical. However, this is not how things works here in Spain.

The classic feature phones is an older Symbian variant and Asha Platform OS is S40 from what I can tell. Symbian is still king in a lot of countries so Nokia will have to support it for a long time. Struggle to see how this helps Nokia. Nok

This is the most confused device ever. A bastard child of Android and Windows: basterdised verion of Windows Phone UI on top of a forked Android that's integrated with Microsoft Cloud. The marketing has a distinct "feature phone&q

That's the thing. The value is not "potential" as it would have been when Twitter was still a startup. As of right now the company has an about 30B market cap ... as big as Raytheon, for example, and bigger than LinkedIn, Nor

I know I am trivialising the issue. I am just annoyed with Twitter having a ridiculous market cap while posting massive losses. It is, after all, a 140 character messaging platform.

Everyone seems to be missing the irony of the situation. Twitter despite loosing $500M a year etc etc is an almost $30B market cap that is bigger than a lot of more traditional companies with a business model! Whereas, Outfit7 is a 20-somet

Hmm ... so the service looks to target what would be considered illegal in most countries yet has no meaningful way to hide the user's identity? Using a VPN will not help when subpoenas are coming down for release of CC/payment de

GoPro has done an amazing job marketing itself and it is/feels genuine. I am yet to see a drop zone with more Contour or Sony Action Cams. That is probably because on balance GoPro is a great product.

ESL point taken. However, I think "getting 504 on different T-mobile devices when using 3/4G but not when on WiFi or using other carriers" is enough to describe the problem. If it the proxy that's returning a 504 there i

Thanks. I am sure there quite a few IPs in that range probably belongs to OVH. I think the problem is on T-Mobile's end as some of the other people complaining about 504s were not hosted on OVH.
