The title is link bait but I really don't think there are that many teams making good money on any of the app stores. >20,000 to 70,000 Euros per Windows Phone application ... is not bad at all! >there's no reason why three smart pe

Yes, this has been going on for ages. I blame both Apple and Google.

In Romania a lot of the laptops come with FreeDOS so there is no Windows tax. Of course, these are usually the cheapest ones since it's expected that people will install pirated Windows. Although they come with FreeDOS, this is not a signal

The OP's argument is precisely about the fact that they shouldn't provide any ISO at all! Just make sure your ultrabook is Ubuntu-certified or something and let people install the official version.

The NSA probably has "dossiers" on the whole world. For example, in order to get an US Visa from the embassy they take your fingerprints. Your visa form also has a lot of data. At least that has to be centralized somewhere. Add your online

I don't see how paying for VPN or Usenet helps. First, you are basically replacing the ISP with the VPN / Usenet provider -- your entire traffic goes through them! If the ISP has to follow some given law, what makes you think the VPN/Usenet

Austria is actually on my list of countries to move to. And Vienna was the best place to live for many years in the Mercer survey. Where do I read more about these things that are wrong with Austria?

This is a horribly written article! Almost the entire first page is spent on telling the reader some ancient facts about Romania as if it's a newly discovered continent. It kinda tries to force some history into context but it's generally r

I guess it depends on the company. If you telework only part of the week, I think you have a clear advantage since the telework days are when you actually get stuff done! If you telework full-time but you still have colleagues that show-up

The UK store doesn't have any of the new generation Chromebooks and especially not the new box. So, select countries means only one: USA.

I think it's too expensive to be a good choice in any country, especially India where I assume it will cost even more than in the US. I assume you are selling some software solution to your customers and they also need hardware to run it. I

You are reading too much into what I've said. The book itself seems interesting because of all the hype about it. But if I say I won't read it because it's not in the format I want it that suggests how important it really is to me, ie. not

Perhaps they don't own the rights to redistribute the Kindle version? Anyhow, I would have preferred a simple text file. I don't see what PDF gives me except extra work to convert it to something else. Which is probably why, most likely, I'

I wonder why the PDF looks that way? It seems designed not to be printed. And there's also no ebook available, just the PDF, so if you want it on the Kindle you have to convert it yourself. It's like they try to nudge you towards buying the

That food looked pretty bad so pretty sure it's actually better in some of the "poorer" countries. There was some old post about school lunches over the world. Google finds me this: http://todayilearned.co.uk/2011/04/20/what-kids-of-the-wo

It's sad that such a thing needs international attention and Jamie Oliver to add some normal food and vegetables to a kid's lunch. If anything it shows the patchwork attitude and the total lack of pride, or care for quality, of the people i

Wow, so many commercial things being recommended! All of that can probably be done for free. All you need is just the desire to keep up to date and a web browser.

I see this as progress. Yes, Apple could use the SIM-less phone to control everything and that would be bad. But this also means we could have "unlocked" SIM-less phones where I could swap networks freely. I never understood SIM cards: what

I am glad that free mobile apps are putting a cap on GPS makers' profits! But since a mobile app depends on a mobile data plan I could never use it when I need the GPS the most: when I'm abroad. Within the US I guess it would make sense to

To me, using navigation on the phone would be more of a convenience than a matter of savings. The 99 euro GPS I was talking about was the cheapest in store and it even had Traffic Message Channel (TMC), something the older one didn't. Also,

Either you have a fleet of trucks or you are overestimating how much Android's navigation is saving you. When my GPS broke down, I didn't start using my phone, I just bought another GPS for 99 euro. (And funny thing is the old one has just
