Funny i don't use it myself, i get an email when someone sends me a message. I know also people who share them, but max every week and probably just 5 friend really look at them. When you look at pictures, how can you concentrate on ads? Th

The people will still use the Desktop like before. The problem is, for messaging and status updates is mobile totally sufficient. They talk much about Pictures, but most of the people i know don't post any. The big success of Facebook is th

I looked it up, for export you don't have to charge VAT. But i don't know if internet services count as export.

I just want to explain how a non issue this is here. Twitter took this as an example to justify their new censoring features, that annoyed me a little. There is a difference between censoring and enforcement trough court. For the second one

That is a myth. You are not allowed to show symbols of an organization who is against our constitution, but only if it is not in the matter of science or history. The second law is, you are not allowed to call out for violence against a gro

On microsoft.com/dashboard you can organize all the personal data you have on Microsoft. Shame on Google for making it more difficult.

Don't forget it is incl. VAT, that means it really costs 19% less for foreign and business customers. Edit: 59.00/1.19 = 49.58 (it really is minus 16%, my old accounting teacher would kill me ;-)

A German company would get 19% back from the Government, but AFAIK a foreign company doesn't have to pay it in the first place, so you can calculate it out. Incredible, maybe they made a mistake on their site. Hetzner has a very good reputa

This is bullshit. To bring these few examples to discredit Google here. Think of their record: OpenSource, Android, SOPA, Fight against Software Patens and so on. Google is still on our side and we need them against all the Microsoft and MP

Scala will be the new big thing, even companies like IBM and SAP are using it now. But to be really comparable to Java/C++ it will take a decade. Twitter is very good here, they have a not so enterprisey brand and will improve popularity in

The big problem is that there is no easy definition of what is happening. There are some words that describe the important undertone i call "boosting", they all have some euphoric impression too, but it declines after a while. These descrip

When we talk about normal activities like studying and working, i think so. The ability to concentrate and motivating yourself is something you have to develop yourself. Ritalin is not the wonderdrug you take and become a perfect student. I

The word develop is the right one. It is the same translation in German, my mistake. The big problem is that while you take it, it feels like it. To make the observation that this is not permanent, while influenced, is very difficult. The f

So Ritalin is just a usual mind boosting drug, it has rebound effects and people develop a tolerance. Like cocaine, MDMA, ephedrine and meth. It differs in it's euphoric and adverse effects, but the positive influence is not permanent. Not
