People are not buying gold because they think it will become the basis of a new monetary system, they're buying it because it's one of the few assets that are small, portable can be easily and discreetly sold and which rises in value during

Perhaps we need two types of airliners one for the old and whiney, kind of like a retirement home in the sky... and the other for people with a sense of wanderlust...

I'm aware this is a positive change, my point is as a developer it breeds ever increasing uncertainty. Apple introduce draconian changes penciled in to come into effect in four months time, everyone complains about it, they don't say or do

I truly don't understand why apple does this, I can only assume its because they have nothing but contempt for the people who develop apps for their platform.

We all know how this will go, apple waits six months until it's pissed off the maximum number of people and then it'll reverse its decision or make the terms much more acceptable.

Stupid question, what's the legality or the "rules" on extracting pic + chunk of text from random websites? Are there any rules I presume there must be?

Uhm I think the point he's making is that Dubai is run by a bunch of bandits just bandits with a lot more money than the average.

Microsoft didn't change the rules every 3 months, sure they drive netscape out of the market but they never said that netscape couldn't run on windows. If you develop for windows you could be absolutely sure your app would install and work

Depends if the aggregator has reviews from previous customers or not, if they do then I would say it's a better source of information than the hotel website itself. Google probably thinks your more likely to be searching for reputation info

I know google does try and combat this. For example any adsense account making more than x dollars per day does get investigated and if they're deemed to be too spammy their sites often get penalised in the indexes e.t.c. But adsense is onl

Small point perhaps but a place I was working at five years ago was developing in house custom apps for their workforce on the old windows mobile phones (probably 5 or 6? can't remember) but they did it because you could dev in .net and wel

The thing to remember with China is that there is a law on the books so that practically everything is illegal. The law isn't there to tell you what you can or can't do, it's there so that if you piss off the wrong people they can come down

I have a friend who is an avid apple user, however she got a super cheap deal from her wireless company for an android phone. And as she says she can install the apps she really cares about (facebook e.t.c.) so sure she might prefer an ipho

And ironically this is around the time of the "new leader" coming to the fore. Since the last two were preordained by Deng Xiaoping and this one won't be I expect they will try very hard to paper over any cracks in order to maintain an orde

I have to say I am quite worried about China's economy if I'm honest. Everytime you build a big black box that sucks in and spews money but nobody is entirely sure how it works (think American mortgage market/banking system circa 2008) and

I like this but personally it still doesn't do quite what I want. I want someone who understands colour schemes + fonts, what goes together and what doesn't to create a prepackaged template that I can plug into your app. Then I can shift th

As a British Citizen Hong Kong is perhaps an idea, six month entry stamp no hassle. Perhaps buying a shelf company there, I think personal income tax is 15%? I know most taxes there are fairly low. If you do check out Lamma Island as a pote

I really wish Microsoft would stop making half assed versions of stuff that other people have done better just because they somehow think they should. Each time I see something like Bing or Zune I just wonder why MS does it, they're pissing
