DotA was not at all novice friendly and I do believe DotA 2 has done a lot to reduce the barrier of entry. The UI is simply amazing at this point and all matchmaking based games sh…

It seems to have worked well in TF2 and MOBA players appears to be quite accepting of paying for cosmetic stuff. I hope for Valve's sake they will be able to pull it off as I reall…

2.75% with MasterCard, Visa and Diners Club. 3.75% with AMEX without a card reader its 1.5 SEK + 3.5%

An estimated value of $100b, the ability to throw $1b into acquisitions and over 3000 employees - still a startup? By such logic you can almost call Google a startup, or any other …

The US still uses checks, can't expect much...

Mojang is privately held but they submit an annual report to the tax authority and once OK'ed by them in the public domain so it can be requested from the authority. There are seve…

I agree, the margins are just too low. They are expanding and such things cost money but they are still only something like 13-15 employees at the moment but still have bad margins…

Impressive revenue and great profit margin! Hopefully they will be able to keep this up for 2012. It is worth noting the jump in employees (28 to 224) - I kinda wonder if they will…

You are welcome! :) No really, the card readers are damn quick these days so it hardly takes much longer than paying with cash but I admit that it takes slightly longer. I would ar…

While you have a point about carrying cash I just have an irrational dislike towards change. The damn coins are heavy, close to worthless much of the time and overall annoying. And…

As a Swede I am used to always being able to pay with my card; Heading to the bar? No need to withdraw cash. Grabbing a taxi home late at night? No need to worry if you have enough…

Insanity. I would never in my life willingly give up any of my passwords, to anyone. Especially not something that contains so much private information as Facebook. Sure, Facebook …

Ah, that might be a improvement but then the questions becomes, how does the English results become affected by me changing it to Swedish? To be fair I do most of my searches in En…

I like the idea of DDG but it is quite frankly of little use to me. For most English terms it works reasonably well but for other languages such my mother tongue, Swedish, it is mo…

My personal opinion is that anything over 50% is too much. If I work hard and earn a lot of money I should at least be allowed to keep half. That said, to reach the top income brac…

Gifts are no longer taxes in Sweden but it is likely that the tax authority will regard it as income (Or bonus) and they will pay 50-56% taxes on the lot. Quite tricky but I assume…

Dividend is generally taxed at 30% in Sweden so a fair bit of that will be paid in taxes. Depending on how Notch decides to pay out the money to the employees they may have to pay …

In Europe, or at least Nothern Europe, it feels like working days are actually becoming shorter. I seem to recall 37.5hrs/w being standard for most office workers, at least in Swed…

This reminds me of the "Du bist Terrorist" campagin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdIA0jeW-24 (German with English subs) Most of these terrorist indicators seems like common sen…

The same problem of course exists for all us non Americans. Most American TV series air months or years later, if they air at all. I would love to be able to watch the latest and g…

I do believe you cap out the taxes in Sweden at ~50k SEK/m so you would end up paying 52-59.9% in income tax on that figure. And if you live in Stockholm you pretty much CANNOT get…

I'm sure they would disagree with me but to be fair, will you make good decisions if you don't sleep enough and work 16 hours a day? I'm thinking sure, if this goes on for a short …

Extremely impressive but is it really sustainable in the long run? I personally do not think that working 16hr days is good for you in the long run. It is not healthy. What use is …

As far as I know, barely anyone use Grooveshark in Sweden while practically all my (University) friends use Spotify. Doesn't Grooveshark have some quite dodgy habits when it comes …
