I also made an app just to see what would happen, and the app performance was pretty bad. The equivalent of this app sells at a reasonable rate on the iPhone (perhaps $15 a day). The iPad version has sold so far at about $2 a day. So the iP

But is the problem not racial? As in - if you took too poor people, one black and one white, one speaking 'white', another speaking 'black', cleaned them up and sent them out looking for jobs, would one have an advantage over the other? I t

Your comment is quite disturbing. You're advocating some form of segregation, but the reason you give for the segregation is pretty minor.

Not being from your country, I'm not particularly qualified to comment on this, but I will say something: When you have two equal groups of people, and one is given an advantage such as the ones you describe, then this is discriminatory and

The difficulty in this market is that each business has a different need. Each business has different data and requires different information. So I'd break this up into individual plugins that just work, and that handle a specific problem.

I have all this data that I collect and it's very difficult to make sense of it or to break it down into a form that tells me what steps I should be taking next to improve my bottom line.

I think there are some people who can only find happiness in always striving for something. Sort of like an explorer - he does not explore to find a better place to live in, he explores because it's the exploration that is what makes him ha

You can buy an accessory that will turn your western toilet into a squat toilet. Or you can squat on the rim of the toilet, it's not so uncommon to do - ask girls. They often do that in their toilets.

I think it depends what you were sitting on before. If you go from wooden chair to aeron, you feel the difference.

I bought an aeron recently and I have to justify the cost!

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say. I'm openly for the Chinese system of government as I've stated several times in the past. I believe that freedom from poverty, a lack of violence and a massive emphasis on educating people eve

You know that there are many countries in the world where police take criminals or anyone they suspect of being a criminal into the bush and shoot them? It's nothing unusual, it's just a day to day activity that everyone knows about. It's p

I wish we would take this political discussion out of technology forums. Even if google started it, this is just a propaganda war between two countries with opposing political ideologies, and just the same we we are not discussing U.S vs Al

Great. Now anybody who takes a non-comformist line in the china debate is going to be accused of being paid by the Chinese government. Great way to go with making sure there is only one opinion on this issue.

The party in china does not kill people. You say it does, but there are no reports saying that. You've just bought into propaganda. Talk about the present day (2000+) party, not about the past. Because if we're talking about the past, the E

Sometimes people ask me: why do you support China? My answer is this: Every economic development has been accompanied by huge misery and death. In Africa, South America, India, etc. When you stop shaking hands with the upper class business

It's just difficult to explain, innit? I'm trying to imagine explaining exactly what crocodoc is to the misses and it's unclear. Usually, when there is this lack of clarity, it will tend to appeal to geeks or people who already want somethi
