This is just ridiculous. As per their latest financial statement, $16B is $B more then they have in the bank. Part of that is stock, but still... On top of that, it's 8 times more then their 2013 net income! People say it's defens

The real problem is not Google (or Apple, FB, etc) but the limits on development of new housing and rent control. I live in London, and outside of my window I can see now 5 new huge developments. Because of massive influx of people prices a

Same for Polish. Most of names sound Polish, but I never ever heard of anyone called that name. Also lastnames seem to be missing Polish characters sometimes

It works almost just like in Excel. Select row (or 30 if you need them, "shift + space" is the shortcut, same as Excel) Then go to Insert menu (Ctrl + ⌥ + I) and then W. Very easy and fast.

The issue is that you don't get any support with this phones, while with Moto G they will just replace your device with a new one If something happens. To many average customers this factor is enough to deter them from buying phones yo

Totally agree, typical TC linkbait. Examples picked by TechCrunch are not even default ones, so they crafted the letter to sound sexist and than complain about it...

I'd be really surprised if Apple will let them use all of these hacks for long... Still great way to get full access to all email from many users.

I actually think that if redesign will ever happen, it will be even more drastic. I think Google is missing a logo next to current logotype. Current branding doesn't work very well on hardware.

I think this is great, and I cannot wait for this to happen, but we also should credit some operators for their current efforts. O2 launched in UK Tu Go app which I find really great. It basically allows you to make and receive calls (and t

I think this is still years ahead of us. Only roaming charges will be cancelled, calling German numbers from UK will still cost you a fortune. What is idiotic, it only makes everyone to install Viver/Skype/whatever and use phone f

It looks much better then Pebble. It's a pity though that it will work only with Samsung phones, not all Androids (not mentioning iPhones...).

> There are two systems at work here, the credit system and the ATM system. The latter uses a PIN (no chip, so basically online verification) but the primary difference is related to chargebacks and fraud. Like in the UK, in a PIN system

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft is buying only Nokia's devices & services business, and debt will stay in Nokia. I tried to find any mention of the debt in official press release documents but I couldn't.

What is actually insane is the amount of face time and waste due to process and bureaucracy in that 100+ hours. I was really shocked when I moved from this to Google where all that mattered was the outcome and I did more work in 50h per wee

Kivo sounds really fantastic. I can remember having 272 versions of the presentation back in the day I worked in the bank. The only obstacle I see is that majority of the potential users are not allowed to install any software themselves, b
