Cegila for his part must be really naive.
I go to India a lot and do see people locking themselves in from reality. BUT, there are many more who do make an effort to improve the lives of the poor.
Anywho, India is India and will always be India. So if you don't like it, don't go there. If you live there and don't like it, leave. Otherwise, take it all in!
You need game developers to work full time on your project and preferably be local.
Android phones are available for free from carriers. Thus, the typical Android buy is more price sensitive. They are more likely to choose free content & apps.
iPhone customers don't get FREE iPhones. They are willing to pay $200+ for a phone and contract. Their willingness to pay for apps & content is higher than Android users.
Just look at Angry Birds. It's FREE on the Android store, but charged for on the iOS store.
The big concern I have is that we'll end up with more expensive hybrid cars and China will have the cost-effective stuff.
BTW, Angry Birds RIO is disappointing. I miss the pigs!
I currently work at Japanese company in San Jose, but I don't see this type of behavior. The caveat is that I've only worked for a year here, so I may not be exposed yet.
I'd really like to know if Japanese society looks down on people who have embarrassed themselves. The executives must have a reason to prevent embarrassment and risk lives.
- Employees can get to these two cities using BART, 580, 680 or ACE trains. This allows me to make it easy for a diverse mix of employees to come work for me (tech, support, admin, mktng, research)
- Slightly lower COL. I don't know the exact number, but housing is a bit lower here than in San Jose/Santa Clara. It's generally a reverse commute.
- Same weather and cultural benefits that come with working in the Bay Area.
- Very low crime rate.
I did not get the results I hope for. The networking events were parties not business events. People just stood around, drank and aired out.
My current conclusion, especially for freelancers, is to invest your earnings back into raising your profile. Write a blog, travel to customer sites.
No. We still have Verizon and Sprint. We may get a duopoly in 5-10 years, but for now, AT&T is not a monopoly.
1) The specs are not in place 2) They are a software company, mostly 3) The managers are not really managers, but engineers who were given a battle field promotion 4) They have a set of key customers who control 51% of revenue, who dictate everything and change their mind frequently
We tried GoGrid and they lost or crashed our server instance.
I've personally used Rackspace, so far so good, but I've only been doing development on it.
In 2010, I encountered something very similar at a well known start up. Some things never change...
"HTTP API that’s not as hard to use as SOAP"
My current employer calls our API ...
... RESTful like .
Only thing is, the interviewer would ask, "How would this work in Windows?"
Don't get me started on the South Asian workers, it's a modern day slave trade.
The "executives" who sleep < 7 hours need to fine a hour more. If I was a board member, I'd insist my C-level team sleep 8 hours!
Windows + SVN is so easy to use (and so entrenched), I'd recommend to new developers & students to learn SVN.
Hopefully they did not use AJAX to serve static content.
Charge for encryption/licensing formats.
