Watching this gives me much more confidence in my writing abilities. I thought I was the only one who proofreads and changes things again and again until they are perfect :)

This behaviour by Apple makes me sick. Typical bully tactics, trying to crush a small company. Glad they didn't give in and I hope Apple pays dearly in the counter lawsuit.

Everything I read about the E-Cat sounds fishy to me. Especially the latest experiment - so the output is 480kW, and there is a 500kW generator connected, but supposedly not operating? What a coincidence! People want this to be true so I ca

Wow. What is going on there? At first I thought Apotheker was hired to complete some "unpopular" tasks, and then a new CEO could start over. But it seems like the board was completely asleep while Apotheker made his decisions. I am looking

Quality analysis by the CCC. I'm glad we have such an organization in Germany.

The key point here is integration though. Just putting a speech recognition app on a phone isn't doing much. But making sure the most common cases you are going to be using it for, e.g. appointments/reminders, searching for specific things,

Let's not forget that speech recognition has been baked into Android for at least 2 years.

Hasn't been mentioned yet: Dolphin HD, a tabbed browser with power-user features (swipe right to see bookmarks, bookmarks sync). Very nice on the S2's large screen.

S2 has heaps of internal storage (16GB) so this is not a problem :)

I came from a Motorola Milestone/Droid which has a higher-res screen and the big font/menus of the S2 was a real turnoff for me first. I even thought about getting an HTC Sensation which has a slick UI with small fonts. But once I put MIUI

First, I can definitely recommend getting a smartphone. I'm normally a late adoptor, but I am glad I switched relatively early to a smartphone. I ran into people now and then who tell me they don't need their phone to do X, they just want t

There are some bugs, and with the beta I had two months ago I ended up in a state where the phone wouldn't boot anymore. Afterwards I flashed it again and didn't have any problems since. Haven't updated to the latest version though. Everyth

Apps aside, I can recommend putting the latest beta MIUI ROM on the Samsung. The default Samsung UI is kind of ugly in my opinion. With MIUI you get a beautiful interface which is very customizable. Standard disclaimers apply. http://forum

Also, with all the cuts in education going on, do you think there will be enough qualified people to keep up the quality of engineering/manufacturing? Sure, you can always allow foreigners in. But who wants to come to a country with high ta

This would only help when it benefits external currencies (e.g. imports). Otherwise it may help the GDP and economy, but won't lower the value of the Deutsche Mark.

True, but what sane bank would take on the risk (=higher interest) without knowing that it is worth it? So I assume there was some background deal, an assumption that governments will cover for defaults.

I have been trying to understand why German politicians are willing to throw so much money at this problem, clearly against the will of the majority of the electorate. Here is the best theory I can come up with: Germany relies on exports. T

I would be interested how the bailout is perceived in the US. What is your understanding of the workings of the eurozone?

by mrich 15y ago
Germany guarantees €211bn, this is part of a previously existing fund created by all EU countries. I assume they provide the money as needed, not upfront.

I am loving this wake-up call to the established parties of Germany, whose elected representatives are bailing out countries and banks left and right against the will of their electorate. The only parties which seem to represent the will of

It could be argued that this represents 80% of your life already. How often do you discuss new things you bought with friends? Quite often probably, except for some things which are very private. But even some of them can be inferred from y

Why is the S2 only available in US now? I can definitely recommend it, although I don't like the stock Samsung software/Touchviz that much. I put MIUI on it, which in my opinion makes it the best phone on the market (best hardware by far/so

That sounds interesting. However, as soon as you have several distinct applications that share e.g. the same master data, how do do interface them? You will have to design the in-memory transactional store as a kind of global component. The

As a german I am ashamed that a german court will be abused for litigation as a means to compete, costing me both in taxes and in the higher price I have to pay for products in the end. And people wonder why the economy is stagnating in the

This sounds reasonable, and I also think it is better for HP to just sell their hardware to enterprises and add software to create complete appliances, instead of competing with Apple in the consumer market. However, was this really the bes

What I do not understand: Google and Apple are both investors to Intellectual Ventures. So the dog is biting its own tail quite horrendously here.

Apotheker is the CEO, and he strikes me as the wrong CEO for this company. This decision is bad, and I am not surprised it is being made during his tenure. He is a guy who is good with cost savings, but lacks in vision.
