I was already looking in to this couple of weeks ago. BDI was up till December and it just hit the bottom in January. BDI is a nice indicator of economy because 1) it's not speculative(you don't buy shipping without products), 2) it's not e

Actually I think it would good for everyone if there would be somekind of trial model. I heard a speak from some Xbox manager once and he talked a lot about trial versions of games. I think(not sure) MS requires every game that is sold in L

Euro isn't like the "most European currencies" and the past isn't a clear indication of the future. Wars are much different times than the mess that we are dealing with now. I also agree on the ECB goals that controlling inflation and stabi

Employee salaries in Japan aren't that low. I don't know what is a fair comparison but http://www.worldsalaries.org/employment-income.shtml states that is US 30410/42028 vs Japan 25184/29882. I would say that the bigger advantage that Jap

This is like my personal rule. I try to avoid credit and loan, unless 1) I really need it(emergency etc) 2) it makes me money(eg. a business opportunity 3) its saves me money(eg. house loan(which isn't always the case)). But most people see

Yeah, I worked as well for goverment, or more specifically for military. Even most people that worked in the same department were civilans as well, they still weren't that qualified for the job(or cared). I took like 5 years of meetings or

You should try other teas, like green, white or even red. I always hated the normal black tea and had to use sugar or milk with it, but now I drink several cups of green tea a day.

You're probably building the wrong thing and it can happen in any economy. I'dont know about you guys at US but consumers are not ceasing to exist and if they exist they usually buy something and some things even more than in good economy.

I found Steve's site about three or four years ago, I don't read it anymore though but he got me into this personal development. I'm not attending any crazy seminars or spend all of my time on self-help books, but he shifted my thinking to

Personal faith is of course important and fine, but I never didn't kind of get the stories, the three desert dogmas and why some of the beliefs should have such a special role and strong impact on our societies. In Finland the current trend

I don't agree. Calories are not treated equal and it's not only about staying not-fat eather but also promoting health. Calories are not just some unified fuel that you put in to your system. Your body needs to process different foods diffe

I think the problem is that even if suggested idea is good and executable, usually these idea-people know little about nothing how to execute the idea. Typically they know nothing of industry, running a business, web, planning, making produ

I agree. I'm getting tired of Nokia's concept phones, while their real phones haven't changed a bit in 10years. Probably the hype is even worse here in Finland.

I also find desktops more comfortable. I don't see the point of using a laptop when you have to setup mouse, keyboard, external display + everything else you might need, everyday or atleast quite often. I like that my desktop has lots of ju

True. We don't have any athlete superpower or fierce popularity contests. I don't even remember that if anyone had been bullied over being good at school. Of course some kids are more popular than others, and there are always few tough guys

I was thinking more about elementary education. I also excluded exchange students since they probably don't take the test. You are right. It could be helpful in other ways, but probably not in the scoring of PISA. I would assume that learni

I'm Finnish and I would say "I don't know". Article paints quite a rosy picture which isn't necessary true. Finnish schools(elementary to high school) are very boring. There are almost no other activities, no special classes, no school spor

I have found that when I do sites for myself, usually use this approach and minimize the initial design in Photoshop. For clients I try be "professional" and use the paper-psmockup-apporove-code flow.

What if I would paint a painting and hung it to my outside wall. I would require every passager that would go by and maybe look at it to pay me $5. I wouldn't be able to legally stop them for looking for free. They would walk away with a co
