I'm currently porting my Firefox extension to the new Addon SDK. It does indeed look more like the Chrome/Safari/Opera model and makes things easier (like restartless addons which was hard to do before in Firefox).

You need to buy them on the day they IPO. You will not be able to buy it at the IPO price but at the price of the first minute of trading. On top of that, "a couple of hundred €" is probably not enough money. The fees to buy stocks on the N

More searches could also mean that the results aren't great and users keep on searching before giving up. Google is successful when you search less. Isn't "the number of users buying a domain" the best metrics or at least "the number of out

Aren't those arguments very US-centric ? If Windows phones sell well in Japan and in Europe, they could attract developers. They are already marketing it heavily in Japan and Nokia is a European company.

The ~$200 price point is indeed a huge differentiator. The main lesson from the HP TouchPad fire sale is that people are interested in tablets but $400+ is too expensive. With the ~$200 price point and the Kindle and Amazon brand, this coul

Maybe it's because other countries could follow the same path. Greece isn't that big but if the other PIIGS fail to pay, it could be much more than a few billions.
