Branded Sony on the front but has a Sony Ericsson logo on the back. Is that purposeful transition marketing or just an old back image?

Should've mentioned I was referring too earlier models (not 4 and 4S). And maybe "crappy" was a bit too emotive. Just referring to Apple's wise choice of cost saving with 3mp when many used 5 and some overspeced to 8 or 13.

What do you do when you start to feel your interest/passion fade? Is it time to look for a new gig or do you have good ways to bring back the spark?

Just because the article is about working from home but not necessarily actually getting any work done. (and how to cope with the common problem)

This is a common pitfall of marketing (and spec) for phones I think. Tech driven customers are the loudest on the internet but that doesn't have to mean they are your key demographic. Look at the iPhone. Beautiful design + great apps + crap

There's a lot of zeroes behind the marketing budget for Microsoft/Nokia promotions.

Actually agree with you that maybe I shouldn't have gone for capitalism to get my point across. But then again aren't you confusing the concepts of "free market economy" and capitalism with the former just being one possible form of the la

This is an interesting development. Anyone think this might signal a potential splitting of the company? Smartphone (god I hate that word) division to MS and entry level phones staying in Finland?

From my experience 5% is generally (depending on service obviously) a pretty good conversion. The real question comes down to ROI though I guess. How much do you need to spend to increase conversion and how much revenue will that generate?

"Men's" magazines are one of the things that sadly make me feel ashamed of being part of the cisgender male demographic.

Good point about services that you don't want/need/like but is an employee really providing a service? Isn't some onus of responsibility on an employer as the One in the position of power? I think employing someone should be a long term com

Good to see some analysis done of use of data in the media. Accountability in this area is generally way too low.

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on competing individual rights inside a capitalist society. More specifically the company owners right to make a profit versus the employees right to make a salary. Interested to know your opinions

Wouldn't you consider a mechanic a contractor? And you should be able to end a contract with a contractor too (depending on the terms you signed together). An employer/employee relationship is (at least legally) a whole different kettle of

Paternity (as opposed to just maternity leave) is for me the solution to many problems. Here in Sweden this already exists (18 months to be shared between parents as chosen, with some extra for the person actually physically giving birth fo

Isn't there a major anatomical part of the disappointing gender discrimation from this post that everyone is neglecting? Men have babies too, they may not carry them to term but they are undeniably a major part. Shouldn't the problem be con

Bit of shame to see a potentially entertaining opinion piece marred by female care-giver stereotypes.

Great to see someone in the US offering free education. Shame it has to be Angel and not State funded though.

Interesting stuff in terms of operator subsidies. Apple gets the best deal by far in this area but not sure how long this will keep up. With capped plans this data usage can become more of a OPEX driver for the operators rather than an RPU

I can second this. Currently learning Swedish. Re-reading some Roald Dahl at the moment and finding it a lot more effective and most importantly fun. Have also bought the Watchmen comics to help motivate me to get to a more advanced level.

We are only going backwards. I've spent hours (x2 after having to re-do with de-interlace) ripping my HBO boxsets only to have to spend more time hunting down SRT files. Give me direct downloads already.
