OK. I agree. Still why should it be public? Private meeting between him and security service would be more than enough IMHO.

I have not followed this story but I guess he was hiding from wife not from security services. Actually I'm not even sure how entering private life is justified in this situation. I can imagine speculations about leaking sensitive informati

Yes, that's better. That control was in my blind spot. Maybe you should do something about that.

I'm forced to learn both currently (I am not complaining). Android most probably will come first - still I can't give specific dates because my time is unpredictable.

I see several option: 1) double check your idea. I have not come to any unique idea of my own that is not implemented yet or not in implementation stage. In some cases implementations are really poor but still they exist. 2) You have some k

There are ideas that big companies will never execute - because throwing 5000-20000$ per month might be simply not worth that. Recommended reading: The Bootstrapper's Bibles

Overall they have not broken Windows for PC users - that's OK. Nothing to see here. The most interesting thing will be in cheap tablets area.

It is interesting that regarding productivity tools (email and office) their competitor is not iPad or Android but Blackberry PlayBook. iPad and Android can be made competitive here as well (you just need to spend extra $) but PlayBook has

I wonder what is hidden behind word "free". It is not unknown fact that China is getting oil and other natural resources in exchange of infrastructure in some African countries. In this case it might be special market conditions. I'm guessi

OK. I don't have any modern Android. I believe offline maps for Android is pretty new function. Right? I think in offline maps for Android you can download only selected region. Meanwhile with Nokia maps I can download map for individual co

I wouldn't mind but Maps are not worth that much I guess - having in mind that Google has its own maps. Google already has Motorola what makes Nokia less attractive (e.g. patent portfolio).

Not really. Nokia Maps is more than Nokia Maps on iOS. Downloadable/Offline maps is killer feature in Nokia Symbian/Meego phones (at least for travelling person from Europe). I guess the same solution is used in Lumia phones as well. Since

No. I'm saying that Russian market has chosen solution that's not necessary is the best one. Again, maybe I'm wrong.

That's OK. There were many engines before Google that were forgotten. It is completely possible that Yandex search for average Russian is better than Google but my impression is that it is not (my impression might be wrong). I know that the

One possibility "Russian pride". That might be wrong guess but there lot of things Russian simply to have something "Made in Russia" (e.g. yandex search itself).

I know one you have paid for: OS. If it is Windows or Mac OS X, you have paid for it. If it is Linux you have either paid for it with your time spent for configuring it or by buying more expensive hardware that just work with Linux. If your
