xmr··on The World’s Favorite New Tax Haven Is the United States
Plainly not true; certainly for banks in the UK overseas and crown dependencies.
xmr··on Use your iDevice as an extra display for your Mac
If you like these you may also like Grovemade - http://grovemade.com. Initially I even thought it was from them.
xmr··on Become Estonia’s e-resident
TL;DR No.

You're likely to run into domestic Controlled Foreign Corporation rules. Basically if you or your family own a large portion of a foreign registered company and that company is taxed less than domestic tax rates, it'll be classed as actually residing in your home country for corporate tax purposes.

xmr··on The New TextSecure: Privacy Beyond SMS
Why will anyone trust something based/developed in the USA related to security? It's a compromised jurisdiction. For anyone creating security products who wants to be credible will need to be based somewhere that respects privacy.

I visited at christmas and it felt like people were very reserved and yes at times quite rude / snobbish. Apart from that, seemed like a nice place.

Jersey (Channel Islands) is working on becoming a focus point for technology investment and startups. While technically it's not part of the EU, it is part of Europe. There's very low taxes and gigabit fibre is being rolled out too.

Is it possible to buy these and get them shipped outside of Finland?
xmr··on Our first app: One month on the iOS App Store
I second this; I've been a happy user since v1 of AppViz. Might want to try out AppSalesMobile if you want the figures on the move.
xmr··on My Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Mac OS X (2011 Edition)
I completely agree, AppViz 2 is an excellent app for checking and storing sales reports, iAd revenue, customer reviews & app ranks.
xmr··on How to get 4 to 5 stars on the App Store
So true. I added code to ask regular users to rate the app and received a lot of 4/5 star reviews. Ask happy customers and they'll willingly give your app a good rating.
xmr··on Why So Many Rich People Don’t Feel Very Rich
a close friend just put away ~$2.5M for a year and is only getting 1.25%. They're more concerned with stability/low risk than growth.
xmr··on Ask HN: Hacker Houses in London?
Thanks for the link. I'm still surprised in a city the size of London that there aren't more places!
