Whatsapp is hugely popular in India where phone contracts are not popular and most people use pay-as-you-go prepaid mobile services. Very few, if any, of them come with unlimited messages. Unlimited messages are a US-only thing I guess.

In case of Nexavar, another company is able to manufacture far more cheaply and that says something about Bayer. Either they are unable to manufacture cheaply or they are unwilling to price it cheaper. Suppose that big pharma stops selling

I must point out that your comment does not apply to a large number of markets. Consumers in India, for example, decide on a handset independent of which carrier's service they use. Samsung's devices compare very favorably to similarly pric

>If that's the case, why has inflation been so low in the US in the last two years, when the Fed undertook the largest expansion of it's balance sheet in modern history? i.e. it has printed more money recently, than at any other time in

From the article: "They observed that residents of the compound burned their trash, instead of putting it out for collection, and concluded that the compound lacked a phone or an Internet connection." How do you go from burning trash to lac

I've used at least three Android devices now and I always recommend people to buy only the flagship device of a manufacturer. They usually get upgrades...eventually (hello Samsung?) and the experience is usually better.

Why would they? They get free QA this way.

What I often wonder is why didn't Nokia decide to try its hand on both Android and Windows Phone 7? Samsung has managed to do this while keeping its in house platform intact. Experiment and see what finds uptake rather than bet a huge corpo

Although it'd be nice to have diffs available for all earlier versions but it doesn't need to be mandatory. A simple way to get started would be, for example, to make the diffs available for the last version released by Ubuntu 11.04 as well

"Well, it still has destroyed these industries." No, the industries have destroyed themselves by letting piracy go out of hand when they could have done something about the root causes of piracy. Instead, they have focused their efforts on

Java is quick to write because of the excellent IDEs out there. Typing out the full structure of a simple pojo by oneself makes one wonder why.

Per-employee earnings may make sense as an indicator of the health of a company but they do not mean much in this context because without the collective team, the earning per employee may be impossible to achieve.

Do people really believe that Apple wants to dominate the mobile market? It seems wasteful to critique sales comparisons of iOS vs Android when Apple has never shown any signs of making iOS devices a monopoly.

The article assumes that a functioning judicial and investigative system exists which can help you in a reasonable amount of time. If that were the case, bribery wouldn't have become so rampant in the first place. How is one supposed to sho

I don't think it has anything to do with the domain. Every time I see another post about Color, I become more and more convinced that the $41 million dollars were meant to trigger exactly this kind of frenzy. The usefulness of the applicati

What the author said is true, Quora and Q&A sites in general are more about accumulating knowledge than helping individuals. So, trying to help someone with an XY problem can get you penalized. One service that I really liked was Aardva
