Interesting. Is that doing a direct comparison between Leeds and London? Also - if you don't mind me asking - why did you prefer your life in Leeds? I do really like it in Leeds, but the lack of meetups and networking opportunities are

I'm living in Leeds at the moment and I'm working as a technical marketer at a technology driven small business. We've had little difficulty finding quality developers. While wages are 10-15%~ lower here than in London, the l

I had something similar happen myself, albeit not as bad your experience. While doing a warm up set of deadlifts (I think it was 120kg x 5 - I was working up to 180kg x 5, iirc), I lost my concentration for just a second on the third rep an

I did ring technical support to get the issues fixed last Thursday -- apparently a higher level technician will call me back within '10 working days'. Hmm. I'm not trapped by a 12 month contract, which is why I'm not too

I wish I was having as good a time as you are. I was on o2 for 3-4 years before being transferred over to Sky last month. Since transferring, I've had nothing but problems. Online gaming pings have gone from 20 -> 50, download speed

Good article. I've always wondered how many more calories are burned while sitting versus standing. I'm quite surprised by how much of a difference standing makes, to be honest. Unfortunately, for the moment, I simply cannot use a

Oh, thank you, sir! Didn't expect to get a reply from the cofounder of Beeminder. I don't think it's possible for to fully explain how big of a difference Beeminder has made in my life. I was much like some of the folks in th

If they do misinterpret my data, I'll simply go elsewhere. If there isn't an alternative, I'll try to build my own. I haven't had to input my credit card details into Beeminder yet, so I don't see how they'd be

I really like the Seinfeld method. It works surprisingly well for me. I first came across it when I started using 750words.com, a journaling website. The website prominently displays your streak at the top of every page, and there are achie

"Oh and of course you can 'customize everything' and here you have 4 examples of the most ugly homescreens I have ever seen on a mobile phone." Agreed. I really don't like the look of most Android customisations. I think default Android is

Fuck off? There's no need to be so rude. In the future, use ihackernews.com. It provides a mobile friendly link to stories using viewtext.org. The viewtext.org link for this story ( http://viewtext.org/article?url=http://www.cockeyed.com/pe

Google hasn't stated how many units they have sold, unfortunately. There was a post on XDA developers from a guy claiming to work at the US UPS shipping centers that stated that Google shipped out 17,000 units for the US launch ( http://for

Ah, apologies. For some reason my brain isn't working too well tonight. I had it in my head that my contract was costing me £9.60 per month while it's actually costing me £12.90 per month. Doh.

Personally, I don't find the lack of LTE to be a problem at all. Three's DC-HSDPA network has been excellent with my Nexus 4. I've done a few speed tests and I regularly get between 10-18Mbps down and 2-3Mbps up. It feels really snappy and,

I love Hipmunks interface, but it usually fails at finding the cheapest available price. I've used flightfox.com, a crowd sourced flight finding service, a few times and I've been surprisingly impressed each time. The guys on that site have

This has been known about for a long time; ugly sells. People are more likely to trust something that looks amateur since it feels more like a recommendation than an advert. Mr.Green, a well renowned CPA Marketer/Blogger, wrote a brilliant

As someone who has spent $100,000 on advertising over the last few years, at least $10,000 of which was on the Plenty of Fish platform, you're very wrong. You only need about 1,000-10,000 impressions to get an idea of how a creative perform

By all accounts, Foxconn factories seem to treat their workers significantly better than other Chinese factory owners. Several reports have shown this. The reason why the media chooses to focus on Foxconn, and Apple in particular, is for th

Heh, yup. It's funny how the media neglects to mention how quickly wages have risen over the past few years WITHOUT any pressure being put on the companies by the media. These pay rises were scheduled a long time ago - they were only just p

Foxconn have raised their wages significantly over the last decade and a half; This is hardly unexpected. This is how Foxconn's wages have looked since 2004 -- 2004: 380 RMB 2006: 400 RMB 2007: 600 RMB 2008: 700 RMB 2009-July 2010: 900 RMB
