Indeed, I think they really did set themselves in by setting a price point. We have seen so many projects, like the OLPC $100, I mean $200 computer, the OpenPandora and a number of others go down this same route and learning the hard way.

I haven't done this, I've been lucky enough to get out of being underpaid by getting poached for much higher figures. That said, agencies have two conflicting incentives. One is to get a person landed for the highest possible salary, sinc

It could be controversial and the conclusions could be somewhat crackpot, but if the methods and reasoning is sound so it's of good quality otherwise I don't see why it shouldn't be published. If it can be demonstrated to be flawed by othe

I don't think the story is that different for the UK, the main points: The UK now has monthly quotas, which makes it impossible for business to sponsor visas some months. Companies have to become licensed sponsors first, which makes it hard

As I understand it, the iOS API for background tasks allows certain routines to run in the background, in this case the regular sending out of location data to Google. It doesn't let the Latitude app as a whole run in the background.

This doesn't explain one thing to me: If I have an app that is misbehaving, and x it out from the 'recent apps list', when clicking on that app again it will behave like the first time I'm using the app after boot. To me it looks like it d

I think it also depends on what stage a business is at. I think if you are in an initial high growth period the emphasis should certainly be on the 'buy right now' customers, these are new customers trying out a new company or customers yo

The bankruptcy rumours surprised me, since I remember reading years ago that Kodak shut down most of their film business etc. because of the market changing. I thought they just logically trimmed the business to what was feasible and they

I've had similar things happen to me. The best approach is to be on top of how the visa works, the quotas, the timings and the best visa agencies a potential employer should use to get you in. Often companies assume it's going to be easy

I always carry my iPhone 4 with my keys in the same pocket. Been doing so for about 14 months now, and I wear skinny jeans from time to time. The screen is still perfect. That said, since the glass is more brittle than plastic, and I do d

There aren't many single syllable verbs that end with an 'is' sound that doesn't end with a 'ss'. In fact, I think there are none. Outside of verbs, it's almost only names (and 'this'), so 'dis' would be a pretty rare way to spell a word

Something similar happened to me during the dotcom era. I was poached from a very nice job at an airline by someone I did work for on the side who always paid well. The salary he offered me was about 20% higher, plus he offered a massive

Indeed, and I just got myself another domain Yesterday through Godaddy. They are really the Wal-Mart of domain name selling, disliked by snobs and hipsters but everyone will buy from them at some point.

The same can be said for deals with record labels. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, it may be a good thing since it motivates more aspiring talent.

The 1% is fine as long as they provide things that make people feel good, like providing entertainment, producing well designed gadgets or make beer. If they do things that aren't fun, like delivering fuel, sell food in a supermarket, run

If an Apple app can control this ball, surely the inPulse from http://www.getinpulse.com/ should be able to get Apple to approve bluetooth control for them?

I was thinking Yesterday that it would be nice for HP to return to being the kind of company Steve Wozniak wanted to work for, or others from that era to form or reignite a similarly desirable company. This is good news, I hope to see more

Yeah it's scary that a site, where you and your friends share the details of your lives online, uses those details to... oh wait that's the point.

I think you are actually getting to the bottom of it. A combination of timestamps, and status updates, and probably that of friends tagged in the same album. Could be quite effective, as we can see.

Thanks for that. My girlfriend at the time, got off at Euston when they evacuated the station and decided to try take a bus to get to work. While waiting for her bus, a bus exploded not far from where she was standing. Her reaction was t

I think I must be doing my bit by making sure I don't ever go over my 40 hours, even if I work in teams where others or the manager works long hours.

Open University is quite expensive if you're not a local tax payer. They could probably do well by dropping their prices to foreign students to increase volume. From what I have seen, their courses are good and I tend to recommend them to

The potential for companies to use this to compliment their staff training is great. It could be a good additional source of income for MIT too, making sure their standards remain high.

I guess the moral of the story is that with Amazon, never manage your account from a shared anything.

I'm also skeptical if they could pull it off. That said the price some cruise ships are going for at the moment is making it a good alternative to new office buildings. With regards to being near Silicon Valley, people are still allowed to

Nice to hear. I have a couple of questions: 1. Is the community open to all or do you need to be working for a SAP customer? 2. What's the simplest way to get set up to start tinkering with some SAP stuff? 3. Can you mention some intere
