I live in Buenos Aires too, and for a while, I had the same trouble as you have now, so I know the feeling. I think the best chance you have in such a short time (given that your contract ends in just a few weeks and then you'll have your e

As George Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". It seems Apple is becoming the biggest bully in the market and the last time, that didn't end very well for Microsoft. Yeah, they still make a huge

But the fact that you can have at least one alias for your account (doesn't have to be from any other service), invalidates the issue. It's a social network (according to their definition) AND you can have different "identities" linked to t

Email can't be defined as a Social Network in the context of this patent, because they had to define what it constitutes a Social Network to be able to use the term in their text. But Windows Live Messenger can be defined as a SN, with that

MS is doing the same, by allowing the use of different account names, linked to the same user. So you can have a username from outlook.com, a username from hotmail.com, a user from msn.com, all linked to your 'main account' (whatever it is)

From 4.8 (Galaxy S3) to 5 inches, the phone most probably will have the same size, but the screen may be closer to the edges (specially top and bottom), just like Motorola is doing now with its new devices.

It's not that it was so much work. It's exactly the opposite, in the first leaks, the start menu was there. At the moment, someone from MS explained that if you give people a new and an old way to do something, they prefer the old way. So,

Like it or not, this is how fashion works. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery , right? And young people like to imitate their idols. Just make a few artists and a few athletes wear this product, and people will buy it.

Yup, Navteq is truly a pioneer and has lots of experience doing this, even when they are not a well know company for people outside this sector. But they deserve some credit.

And Navteq, Tele Atlas, TomTom, and a few more... They don't have the marketing skills of Apple and Google, but they don't need it because they are not consumer-focused companies.
