Only skimmed through this, but it seems to miss one important point: In Germany (1st spot for self-sufficient teenagers in this study) it is perfectly possible to pay for the normal phone/text/data coverage as a teenager by using

Never been to Africa, but this sentence tripped me up too. From what I hear/read some parts of Africa are way ahead in mobile connectivity compared to the US. As in: You can actually put SIM cards into phone (hello Sprint/Verizon)

What some of the other comments here seem to miss is that he isn't suggesting to replace air travel with other modes of transport. He suggests cutting back on unnecessary long distance travel. And if you have ever seen scientists'

Weird way of reporting the stats (as others in this thread seem to imply) or not, just walking around in Germany is enough to realize that Windows Phone is comparatively popular there. It's very present both in real users' hands a

I've been involved in (but did not run) another smartphone-to-postcard app, popular mostly in the German market ( http://www.kartensender.de/web/us/ ) but also available in the US. The main difficulties we face

Minor nitpick: Visa status != Immigration status For example: As a student you can have an expired F1 visa in your passport, but as long as your I-20 document is kept valid and you are attending school you are fine. The visa is only of conc

If you really need this, you could download the raster data (find the URLs via the National Map Viewer [1] for example) and add whatever type of road/trail/path you want on top using OpenStreetMap data. [1] http://viewe

I remember working on a similar, though slightly less destructive, app. I had a first or second generation iPod touch and it's back was curved so that you could spin it on a flat surface. I collected lots of accelerometer data and wrot

And you can't really on Android using a web browser (I tried in Firefox). The link to the "Other Messages" folder is underneath the message list, which keeps getting longer (endless list style) as you scroll down.

I would use this, if it weren't restricted to people who make smartphone apps [1]. That seems to be an extremely narrow focus, even in Silicon Valley. [1] This might not actually be the case but their info pages only talk about apps.

You know what's silly? Calling one version of English "real English" is silly. I think what you were trying to say is "British English". And I agree, why would you want to avoid using it?

The interface is a little confusing when you write a "perfect" text. I just wrote a few sentences, pressed "Analyze" and nothing at all happened. Pressed it again, nothing again. Maybe include a message like "Sorry,

Wasn't there a story recently about how they record (the content of) every phone call? This seems to be a subset of that, so how is this news?

What happens when you are in prison or a coma for over three years? Once you are back, do you have to go through the several-month-long process recovery process? How do you pay the bills during that time? Do they pay you interest if you suc

See my comment above, the number they quote for Redwood City is $30k, the census data says $45k for the same tract number.

I also looked at the Redwood City data point and it's pretty clear that they are using incorrect data. Since I have been to Redwood City and am going to be living there permanently starting a few months from now, I was a little confused. Us

This is the first time I heard about changes to Voice and I really really hope they just leave Voice alone. This is the one Google product that is deeply integrated into my life and I rely on it continuing to work (it's also the only Google
