Example climate science: Have two models, and see which one predicts the next decades better.

I doubt that would be legal. Anyone knows for sure?

(IMHO a bad move for the Android brand, unless teens are their new main target. But let's see...)

We need help developing new features for our fast growing AlertFox Web Performance Monitoring solution.

=> We need Software Engineers! :)

The position will be in our German office near Heidelberg. Work from home and part-time (Teilzeit) options available.

iOpus GmbH is the German subsidiary of Ipswitch Inc., a leader in network monitoring software and one of Boston's "Best Places to Work”.

At the same time, all of them have no issue at all to install a regular Windows application from, say, Download.com. They are surprised when I tell them that any Windows application can not only access all their data but could also format their hard drive...

To cut a long story short: Google does a good job of educating users. Microsoft should follow (and innovate with a more fine grained security system).

Sheeps were detected as horses, faces but not as cats or cars. This seems to be the current state of the art for a general purpose classification. I haven't seen anything better yet (unless you'd specialize in sheep detection)

Right, the traffic you will get from them surprisingly low, but they are a fantastic source of instant social proof - After all, you must be good, otherwise they would not cover you, would they? ... ;)

A TC logo/quote on your home page can improve conversion rates for years to come.

Second, everyone knows that this "sorry, we have to pay royalties" thing is most likely legal, but a very grey area. It certainly is against the spirit of the law. A company whose main product is "we make you feel good" should not use such tactics in their own interest.

Advertising revenue in 2011 was 97 percent of Google's revenue!

But the VZ owner, Holtzbrinck, did not want to sell at this time. Obviously a huuuuge mistake in hindsight. Only after that refusal FB started to sue VZ.

100% of poor people in Germany own a health insurance

0% own a house (you have to use up your own money first)

100% own a washing machine (paid for by the government)

50& own a car (my guess, but you dont really need it in big cities)

For example in Germany, most IT jobs with a salary over 40000 Euro/Year qualify for a work visa (first three years, then unlimited).

The new thing here is that you MUST spend the money for something fun. So it is more than just money. Its like a free lunch. They always taste better than the ones I have to pay for ;)
