That's why Privacy Guard from CyanogenMod is so useful.

(Actually it's called AppOps and it's from Google but it's an hidden feature on stock Android)

This is hilarious:

"If you have Java enabled for your hosting account, it will conflict with Rails."

"Currently, Rails version 1.1.6 is supported in the default directory, while Rails 2.2.2 is considered an alternate "development" environment"

etc...

Do you have some stats? I'm interested in the "TLS Compression" part (e.g. can I remove the breach-mitigation-rails gem from my project)

It says €399.00, but then €414.00 for tax and shipping in Europe.

I changed from "Ah, same as a Nexus 5" to "Wow, that's two Nexus 4!".

I never saw it but I think that would be a really good idea, I would love to "archive", "mute" and my facebook wall, twitter, etc... If that could work as GMail that would be perfect.

I'm the kind of reading every post on Twitter and Facebook and unfollowing/muting people that post too much useless things so that would be perfect for me.

Re:Salaries for Developers and Designers across the world on Wednesday October 02, 2013 @10:02AM (#6482411)
Here is the text, but the main part is the image:

Are you a Developer or Designer curious about your potential salary in different countries? You’ve come to the right place.

Below are some averages of yearly salaries per country. As it seems, the best paying countries for Web Developers are Australia (87K $), Japan (86K $), the US (76K $) and Canada (60K $), while the lowest paying countries are India (12K $), Malaysia (8K $) and Philippines (7K $). Graphic Designers seem to be most appreciated in Switzerland (96K $), followed by Australia (64K $). The numbers jump quite higher when talking about Senior positions, as well as for Software Developers in comparison with Web Developers.

Salaries of web developers in India, the Philippines, USA and around the world

If you are considering the startup life and you are attracted by popular startup hubs, the numbers look a bit different. Sillicon Valley’s Developers have an average salary of 119K $ per year, while London’s Developers make 79K $ per year and Berlin’s Senior Developers reach on average 80K $ per year.

And of course, you might consider working for one of the most appealing tech companies at the moment. Seems like the best paying ones are Google with 128K $ for Software Engineers base salary per year, followed by Facebook (124K $) and Apple (114K $).
