I have been developing for the BlackBerry platform for years and have found it very very good. Some things like the signing server can be annoying at times. There are many great things however. RIM provides all kinds of simulators that mak

It is interesting how nearly all of the 10 countries in the top 10 are either in North-Western Europe, or have historically been "sprung" from a country in North-Western Europe (e.g. Canada, Australia, New Zealand who are in the Commonwealt

Not duplicating or competing with the BlackBerry email as well as messaging (BBM) is an explicit part of one of the several legal agreements that developers and RIM partners have to agree to. Technically, KiK is in violation of these terms,

It sounds like your problems are more to do with IRS/US financial regulations than with Paypal. I doubt Paypal invented the concept of 501(c). Disclaimer: I don't live in the US so maybe I am not aware of some subtlety here. On a more gener

"While continuing to point out that the US has a lower tax burden than Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, ... Canada" As far as Canada is concerned, this statement is false in certain cases. For example, the small business (income < 0.5 mln) cor

I am currently at the BlackBerry DevCon, and have to tell you that RIM is definitely not positioning the PlayBook (so-so name imo) as an iPad killer. They are after a whole new segment of applications here that seems to be envisioned to com

It is relevant because the economy is obviously not where it was 3-4 years ago. The bubble has burst, margins are getting squeezed all across the board and footing the bill on ever-escalating government-induced initiatives is no longer as e

His point was a very simple argument, based on plain old common sense. It was intended to be simple. It becomes insightful when you take his point and put it next to the jarring inconsistency in our reality. Fact is, nothing done by Washing

You can ban smoking in your house all your want, but once you sell it is up to the next owner to decide the smoking policy. Apple doesn't own your iPhone - it is the user who does. Neither does Apple own the app made by the developer. Neith

Contrary to popular opinion, using copyrighted terms is not against the law. For example, you shouldn't feel threatened that the black helicopters are going to swarm overhead if you are using copyrighted words like Apple, iPhone, Wii etc. i

Shame is the right word here, as this is exactly what I feel every time I hear about another country adopting some convenient mobile payment method, from cell payments to mobile walletc, etc . Why are we so behind? Imagine the opportunities

And the Australian securities authorities need to do some serious soul searching as to why a guy with a mere $47,000 in his pocket was allowed to purchase securities that leave him with a A$94mln liability - without even having the money at

Whether it is HTML, WAP, SMS or some other language/protocol yet to emerge is largely a moot point. The big question to me as a mobile app developer is, how do you make and sell apps to "the next 4 billion"? And is this market segment even

While this regulation will clearly be disastrous for America, can you imagine the windfall of campaign contributions and lobbying frenzy that will ensue as a result of this thing passing? Timothy Geithner or whoever is crafting this proposa

What I found interesting is that he turned down the offer and the reason he did so. Bulgaria is technically either the poorest or one of the poorest countries in the EU (GDP per capita is listed at $12,252 in Wikipedia), so anyone from ther
