Most other countries use washing machines with much less capacity and water ue (side loaders vs. top loaders), have different toilet flushing systems with smaller loads, and genera…

Such an incredible person. I've met him a couple of times, and he was always smiling, inquisitive and much nicer than you would ever expect. The good go early.

Before it's the next big thing? That would mean acquiring all good small startups that are active in _some_ space they are interested in, without waiting for the decision on who's …

Like the insights and mostly agree. I think you missed an interesting point, though: Can Twitter (or Facebook, or anyone else for that matter) still build the next big thing intern…

Good on Joel for pointing out what many have been thinking and saying. Doing it as one of the few relevant startup bloggers in Germany makes it even more important. Overall, I thin…

Wow, the smugness and adversity to Marissa Mayer is really evident here. Did these two have a run-in in the past or is that just KS's style of reporting?

Almost no tax breaks for startups, and healthcare and employee taxes are regulated very closely to normal German laws. Shockingly, recently the govt seems to have decided that ange…

This throws up various questions: - Is the UK market simply more competitive, and is the fight over individual customers tougher? I.e. need the "other" smartphones be cheaper to co…

She comes across so smug and arrogant, it's uncanny. Definitely no celebration of the bold move or tough challenges here.

He absolutely is. Surprisingly, html5 apps haven't gone very big (even as installed bookmarks on the homescreen, or with the use of local caching, effectively mimicking an actual a…

There are no real details about how many jobs will be cut, or where. The quote "20.000 is a pretty significant number in Finland" seems to be related to the total number of Nokia j…
