View video of the demonstration in one of the following formats:
In his challenge, carried by the Seattle Times, Secretary MacDonald said he would give $1000 of his own money to the person who could best communicate to the public the concept of through-put maximization. It means moving the maximum number of cars through a stretch of highway at the maximum speed.
After reviewing 90 serious contenders, MacDonald selected Paul Haase, a Sammamish science writer with a thing for funnels, as the winner.
The Paul Haase solution
Here's what you need:
Haase dumped one liter of rice all at once into the funnel and started the timer. Forty seconds (and several rice-sized traffic jams) later, all the rice was in the receiving container. Then, he took the same liter of rice, the same funnel and the same stop watch, but this time he poured the rice slowly and evenly into the funnel. Can you guess what happened? Twenty-seven seconds later, all the rice was in the receiving container. He shaved 13 seconds off his old time through gradual, controlled pouring.
What does this prove? According to Secretary MacDonald, it proves systems like ramp meters, which regulate traffic, save drivers time. It also proves future systems, like high occupancy toll lanes and transponders that speed drivers through toll lanes, will make the most of our limited lanes.

Title: Adorable
Date: Nov 02, 2011
This costume is adorable. My daughter started twirling in it immediately after putting it on. The skirt is very short - think ballerina short - so without bloomers, the diaper will show. In fact, my only complaint would be that the costume does not include any type of diaper cover. Still, it is very nice for the price.

Title: Beautiful but Has a Few Minor Issues
Date: Oct 13, 2011
This dress is every bit as stunning as depicted in the preview...more so in fact! The green part is velvety with glittery swirls and sequin trim. I thought it looked more like satin in the preview, so this was a pleasant surprise. I should have noticed that the preview of the back of the dress doesn't show a zipper! I didn't realize this until I went to try it on my 18-month-old. I had to undo the lace on the bodice to get it over her head, then hope she'd stand still long enough for me to lace it up again just right. I also noticed that the stitching near the shoulders was coming loose. I'll be able to fix it if it comes undone completely, but it's still a disappointment. The headband was sewn so that there's a half-twist in the elastic, so it won't lie completely flat on my daughter's head. It arrived somewhat rumpled due to packaging, but I hung it up in the bathroom while I took a hot shower and that did the trick. The dress fit well on my taller-than-average tot. Looks great with silver shoes and tights! Overall I think it's a great dress but a tad overpriced, especially with the quality concerns.

I got this costume last year and when I received it and took it out of the package their was a hole in the tule skirt right in the back. There was no hiding it or fixing it! The seams didn't seem like they would hold at all. I returned it just wanting a replacement and of course they were out of stock.

Title: Adorable costume

This costume is so cute! It fit my daughter great. The only part I didn't like was that the green has glitter on it. I don't care for glitter because it can be so messy but other than that the costume was better than I had expected.

JP Morgan Chase's CEO will be on Capitol Hill to explain $2 billion loss!
POSTED: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - 7:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - 7:04am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Today the embattled head of JP Morgan Chase heads to Capitol Hill to explain to congress how his bank lost two billion dollars making risky investments.
Three top executives lost their jobs over this.
Today Jamie Dimon faces tough questions about how it happened.
"We made a terrible egregious mistake. There's almost no excuse for it," said JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon on NBC's Meet the Press.
Once again today, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is expected to apologize for his bank's two billion dollar loss.
We've seen his prepared remarks.
He'll say no clients or taxpayers lost money and that they've got new leadership plus new safeguards against risky hedging.
He's also expected to emphasize that the bank still has plenty of money.
"It's the bank that every big company wants to have lead its bank deal and many of its bond deals. It's still the prettiest girl in the neighborhood," said Charles Bobrinskoy of Ariel Investments.
But Congress has some tough questions.
"Congress should be asking him how and why this happened. They should be pushing for a strong Volcker Rule and they should push back against portfolio hedging which is dangerous and which this was," said Lisa Gilbert, Public Citizen.
"We want the government to be able to take down a big bank like J.P. Morgan." JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon.
But Dimon insists the government's already got the power to do it.
What has yet to be seen is whether Dimon will support even tougher regulation - strengthening the Volker rule that prevents speculation and whether Congress will crack down on the regulators who didn't stop it from happening.
"It will be a critical self review as part of this process," said Comptroller of the Currency, Thomas Curry.
A process that continues with Dimon's testimony.
He is the only scheduled witness to testify in front of the banking committee today.

Global Automotive Service Industry
The automotive service industry refers to vehicle sales and leasing, and after sales services, including servicing and the sale of vehicle parts. The upkeep and repair of vehicles is becoming an increasingly complicated task for car owners as vehicles become more complex and use more advanced technology. Workers in the industry require training as the sector involves a high degree of specialization. Currently, there are more than 360,000 employees with certification across the US automotive service industry.
Safety plays a central role in the industry, which is regulated and controlled by legislation to protect workers and encourage effective risk management. There is a high degree of risk because of the amount of manual handling needed, for example welding and working with heavy loads.

Call him the Cassandra of Capitol Hill. For nearly two years Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has been running around Washington auguring doom and calling on lawmakers to ponder a horrific question: What would have happened if United Flight 93, brought down in the fields of southwestern Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, had departed Newark on time?
"We know that United 93 crashed in Pennsylvania only because it left forty minutes late," Ornstein says; otherwise its passengers would not have learned that their hijackers were on a suicide mission, and so would have had little incentive to risk storming the cockpit. Rather than roaring to earth near the town of Shanksville, Flight 93 would have continued south to Washington, where the terrorists, it is now believed, intended to guide their stolen missile into the dome of the Capitol. "Hundreds of people could have been killed," Ornstein says. Hundreds of others could have been gravely injured. "The Capitol dome is cast iron, so if the plane had hit it the way those planes hit the Trade Center, you would have had molten iron raining down on the heads of hundreds or thousands of people." In considering the potential carnage, Ornstein says, it occurred to him, "Wait a minute—what does that mean for a quorum?" The Constitution dictates that House members may be replaced only through special elections, which take months to organize. "So at the worst possible time," he says, "there's no Congress"—which means no one with the authority to declare war, appropriate money, or make laws. "What you're doing is condoning for what would be a sizable period of time a form of martial law. And when people say, 'Well, what's so bad about that?' I say, 'Two words: John Ashcroft.'"
Thanks to the passengers of Flight 93 (and the inefficiency of the airlines), Congress escaped catastrophe on 9/11. But next time, Ornstein says (and he is certain there will be a next time), it may not be so lucky: "As you think about the history of al Qaeda, they go after a target and if they don't get it, they'll come back in a couple of years." Ornstein's mission is to prod lawmakers into writing, in effect, a collective will that would prepare the federal government to handle mass casualties within its ranks.
Through endless phoning, lobbying, and writing on the subject, Ornstein has recruited enough supporters to create a blue-ribbon commission. Launched last fall, the commission is co-chaired by the former senator Alan Simpson and the former White House counsel Lloyd Cutler, and includes such political luminaries as the former congressmen Newt Gingrich and Thomas Foley. Operating under the deceptively soothing name Continuity of Government Commission, these political insiders and constitutional scholars spend their time debating macabre questions: Precisely how many House members must die to trigger a state of emergency? What constitutes a quorum if fifty senators survive a sarin attack but twenty of them are temporarily incapacitated? Worst case: who assumes the presidency if a deranged Islamist sneaks a nuclear suitcase bomb into an inaugural (Ornstein's doomsday scenario of choice), vaporizing not only the President and the Vice President but also most of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and Congress?
The commission's first report, released this spring, recommended ways to cope with the sudden decimation of Congress. A second report will tackle casualties in the executive and judiciary branches. Although differences among the commissioners abound, all agree that the current system threatens to leave the nation rudderless in its most vulnerable hour.
In reviewing existing law, the commission has outlined some of the more outrageous scenarios that could come to pass. For instance, the Constitution says that the House may conduct official business only when a quorum is present—currently at least 218 of the 435 members. Since the Civil War, however, the House parliamentarian has interpreted a quorum as a majority of members "elected, sworn, and living," in Ornstein's words. Ornstein finds this interpretation not only constitutionally dubious but also, in practical terms, absurd. "You could end up with, say, eight members being alive—five of them constituting a quorum," he says. Imagine a three-person quorum consisting of the ultraconservatives Tom DeLay, Ernest Istook, and Dan Burton—or of the leftists Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, and Nancy Pelosi. How legitimate would the country consider such a body? Even more frightening, Ornstein adds, this abbreviated quorum could elect a new speaker of the House, who would then jump up the line of succession for the Oval Office. As set by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 (which Ornstein calls "an abomination"), the line now goes from the Vice President to the speaker of the House to the Senate president pro tempore (who until two years ago was the terrifyingly dotty Strom Thurmond) and then down through the Cabinet, according to the order in which the offices were created. "You have a provision in this law," Ornstein says, "which is just mind-boggling—that if you go down to the Cabinet level to fill the presidency, the speaker can at any subsequent point bump that person and assume the office." In other words, if a catastrophe made Secretary of State Colin Powell acting President, a quorum of Burton, Istook, and DeLay could elect DeLay the new speaker, and he could elbow President Powell right out of office. Not scared yet? Assuming that the Supreme Court had also been destroyed in the blast, President DeLay would then be in a position to fill all those vacancies.

Psoriasis of the palms and soles
How does psoriasis affect the palms and soles?
Psoriasis may predominantly affect the palms and soles in various ways:
- Typical scaly, red patches similar to psoriasis elsewhere
- Generalised thickening and scaling of the palms and soles (keratoderma)
- Sheets of tiny yellow-brown pustules (palmoplantar pustulosis).
More images of palmoplantar psoriasis ...
Clinical features
Palms and soles affected by psoriasis tend to be partially or completely red, dry and thickened, often with deep painful cracks (fissures). It can be quite hard to differentiate from hand dermatitis and other forms of keratoderma, but signs of psoriasis elsewhere may help make a diagnosis.
Palmoplantar pustulosis is considered a distinct entity in which there are clusters of pustules on the palms and/or soles, but about 10-20% of those affected have psoriasis on other sites of the body.
Palmoplantar psoriasis tends to be a chronic recurrent condition.
What is the treatment for palmoplantar psoriasis?
Mild psoriasis of the palms and soles may be treated with topical treatments:
- Emollients: thick, greasy barrier creams applied thinly and frequently to moisturise the dry, scaly skin and help prevent painful cracking.
- Keratolytic agents such as urea or salicylic acid to thin down thick scaling skin. Several companies market effective heel balms containing these agents.
- Coal tar: to improve the scale and inflammation. Because of the mess, coal tar is often applied at night under cotton gloves.
- Topical steroids: ultrapotent ointment applied initially daily for two to four weeks, if necessary under occlusion, to reduce inflammation, itch and scaling. Maintenance use should be confined to 2 days each week (weekend pulses) to avoid thinning the skin and causing the psoriasis to become more extensive.
Calcipotriol ointment is not very successful for palmoplantar psoriasis and may cause an irritant dermatitis on the face if a treated area inadvertently touches it. Dithranol is too messy for routine use on hands and feet.
More severe palmoplantar psoriasis usually requires phototherapy or systemic agents, most often:
Biologics are also sometimes prescribed for severe palmoplantar psoriasis.

Well, no one is more surprised that I'm writing this article than I am. I didn't expect to be writing articles for WWEnews.net. To be truthful, I haven't read much posted here (shame on me!) and I just don't know how interested my opinions anyone really could be, right? We all have those and my opinion is no more valuable than anyone else's. Still, I've been invited to do so and it could be fun. Far be it for me to turn down fun. Okay here goes.
Paul Heyman is a genius. Seriously. Before he showed up, we were in a serious dry spell with regard to managers in sports entertainment. It had been quite some time since a manager in WWE mattered. Sure we had Ricardo Rodriguez but he didn't actually manage. He does little more than announce whoever he's with (at first, ADR and lately RVD) Beyond him, that's it…until Heyman came along.
Before all of this, managers were everywhere. When I was growing up, we had "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Captain Lou Albano, "The Mouth Of The South" Jimmy Hart, Sir Oliver Humperdink, the Grand Wizard, Paul Bearer/Percy Pringle, and the best that ever did it, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The '90′s gave us Harvey Whippleman/Downtown Bruno, and Bill Alfonso (and that stupid whistle!).
What made these managers (and others I'm likely forgetting) great was how well they could talk! One could put a worker that couldn't talk at all with one of these guys and the manager would get him over. Remember Jim Cornette? Can you imagine the Midnight Express getting over without him? When you think of them, you automatically think of him. When they were wrestling, Cornette would be obnoxiously bothering Tony Schiavone and David Crockett. In truth, Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane couldn't take their way through a drive-through window. It was Cornette who did all the talking and made people excited about them.
George "The Animal" Steele. Yeah, he had great ring antics but it was the interaction between Albano and him that made the whole thing work. Andre The Giant on his own was a shocking presence and he was over like rover. When he turned heel and hooked up with Heenan, it took him even further.
There are workers in WWE that simply cannot talk. Ryback, Drew McIntyre, Justin Gabriel, Ezekiel Jackson, Darren Young, and Yoshi Tatsu are just some who could benefit from a manager or two. Without one, these workers don't stand a chance.
I very much miss the golden age of managing. Watching Heyman work has reminded me of what happens when a great manager enters the picture. The jury is still out on whether or not he works as well as the managers of days gone by. Let's be real: Heyman hasn't helped Axel at all and we don't know what he'll do for Ryback just yet. As for Punk, he didn't need Heyman as a mouthpiece. Punk was totally over without Heyman. Still, if the right guy is given to Heyman, he'll work magic with him. Of this, I am certain. Here's hoping that, when that happens, we'll see more managers that can get some of these workers that can't talk out of WWE's purgatory.
What do you think? Am I on the right track? Have I reached levels of insanity heretofore unknown? Feel free to let me know.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The All-Consuming Day School Decision
I felt positively Goldilocks-like as I made the rounds at open houses of prospective Jewish day schools for my 4-year-old son.
"This school is too big," I said as I surveyed the hordes of parents spilling out of the auditorium.
"This school is too small," I frowned at the empty seats and scant class size.
"This school is too rich," I sighed as I took note of Gucci handbags and snippets of conversations concerning travel plans for St. Maarten.
Somehow, despite my best efforts to the contrary, I have become unwillingly embroiled in the massive wave of hysteria that sweeps the parents in my community when faced with the big day school decision. Read the rest of this entry →

Title search on burned home first step in ending Watertown blight
WATERTOWN -- Town Manager Charles A. Frigon has ordered a title search of a blighted home on Williamson Circle as the first step in an attempt to remedy the situation. The home at 179 Williamson Circle caught fire in 2010, just one day after its owners moved to Florida, according to neighbors. Since then the burnt-out shell has sat vacant and overgrown and has attracted debris.
According to the Vision Appraisal assessor database, Barbara Hurnovich has owned the 1,000 square foot ranch since 1998.

Not only is this tea ABSOLUTELY beautiful when brewed in a glass teapot, it tastes wonderful and never goes bitter as a result of steeping the tea too long. I, too, try to buy as many green peony teas from Peets as it''s only sold during certain times of the year. I highly recommend it!
- Michael 10/3/11
The bad news with the green peony tea is that it varies from batch to batch due to high degree of hand processing involved in its preparation; the good news is that the continuum goes from good to great. Even a "bad" tin of green peony is never bitter, always lovely, and produces flavorful infusions after multiple steeps. A great tin is subtly floral and nutty and just plain awesome.
- Nancy , drinking Peet's since 1973 9/2/11
- Berkeley
This the best specialty "flowering" green tea I have come across! I eagerly wait every year to get 2 or 3 tins. The tea is lovely, flavorful and doesn''t get bitter with over-steeping. The one flower can give multiple infusions and looks so pretty as it steeps. I highly recommend it!

The Dozen Decision-Busters for 2013 (Karrh on Marketing)
by Jim Karrh
Posted 7/23/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
"Jim, welcome to July, the official start of the fourth quarter around here!" I heard that comment a week ago while leading an implementation workshop. Those marketing, sales and product managers were working to finish 2012 strong but clearly with an eye toward 2013 too.
It is officially 2013 for much of the public sector, and the private sector is beginning to crank its strategic and marketing planning machinery. Now is a good time to review, and put into place, the clear thinking and solid processes that will lead to good decisions soon.
These days I spend much of my time either 1) helping organizations through research and executive facilitation to produce a sound strategy or 2) taking the strategy as given, then helping a field-level team implement it. I've seen firsthand that most problems with implementation come not from the limitations of a team or budgets but rather from biased decisions in creating the strategy itself.
It's difficult, if not impossible, for individuals (myself included) to recognize and fix their own biases alone. But executives can - with the proper tools and some outsider perspective - recognize and neutralize biases within their teams.
The legendary psychologist Daniel Kahneman and his colleagues have suggested using a checklist to find any destructive biases in teams and their strategic recommendations. I will share 12 pieces of such a checklist that are useful to consider, whether you are an executive who will be evaluating the recommendations of a team or part of a team that will be making and presenting recommendations yourself.
- Errors from self-interest. The bias toward rationalizing our own interests is powerful; it shows up in decision-making from marketing executives to physicians and nearly every profession in between. Who has a stake in the decision going a certain way?
- Recommenders falling in love. I'm not talking about them falling in love with one another but rather with their own recommendations. This is the "affect heuristic" through which we pump up the benefits and minimize the costs when evaluating something we like. It is difficult yet important to keep emotions in their place.
- Dissenting opinions. When the U.S. Supreme Court makes a less-than-unanimous decision, there is openness about which justices disagree with the majority opinion and why. Of course, those justices have a lifetime appointment and are probably less susceptible to groupthink. You, on the other hand, should be skeptical of any false veneer of unanimity from a team. We've found that deliberately adding more diversity of backgrounds and points of view to the team can at least ensure there is no rush to agreement solely for agreement's sake.
- Ignoring credible alternatives. Planning groups, like all of us as individuals, are prone to generating one promising idea then jumping to evidence that supports it. A good practice is to force everyone to come up with at least two plausible alternatives to the proposed recommendation along with pros and cons for each.
- Overlooking what isn't in front of you. Kahneman has pointed out that our intuitive minds tend to build a coherent story based upon available evidence. We have to fight our own instincts to consider what is missing. A good practice is to develop a list of the information to consider and how to approach it before the team begins sifting through things.
- The wrong comparisons. Sometimes a "saliency bias" can take hold, through which a very memorable event clouds judgment. I've seen this creep into team discussions when, for example, a recent success story is used to bolster the case for a decision, even though the success story was a weak comparison for the decision at hand.
Now is a good time to consider the people who will be making recommendations and decisions for the coming year, along with the very specific processes to follow.
In my next column, I will share the final six decision-busters - along with suggestions for building a better evaluation process within your organization and making it stick.

Man...i wish this lumia 920 is gonna be legendary for Nokia.... :)
5. maverick786us (Posts: 134; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Just like legendary Nokia N95.
1) Nokia Drive and
2) Nokia Citi Lens are 2 of the most exiciting applications I've seen in my life.
Nokia has to create atleast 100s of such innovative applications in order to dominate the market again and take back the lead from Apple and Android

The iPhone 4s costs north of $800 on contract in India.
9. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1104; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Countries like India and other developing south-east asain economies have always been the dumping grounds for Apple! Once a product has outlived its life cycle in the western hemisphere Apple dumps it into India at the same premium launch price so that it can milk maximum profits.
Not so the case with Android or Windows devices. At the most they are about three months late.
Moreover you have to pay the full price of the phone even in a carrier contract.
Its disgusting but its true! These countries deserve better.
13. eisenbricher (Posts: 972; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
Words of truth! My wise friend.
14. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
Same premium price? It's still higher if I know. PS: We do get Android/WP phones at the same time or earlier at the same price in markets elsewhere or maybe sometimes even lesser. Prices don't drop easily in India though.
18. raunak (Posts: 505; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
no, its the same with windows phone. just a few days ago, I saw nokia india's facebook page reporting that "new" nokia 900 is going to be available in india coming october. its confusing seeing as lumia 800 was released pretty quickly in india.
I think they'll be more serious with 920 though.
4. lsguntu (Posts: 67; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
I really wish its 600$ :)
6. eisenbricher (Posts: 972; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
iPhone 5 32GB is being sold at INR 93,990 here in India. That translates into freakin' $1764 !!! Now how this can be justified? >:[
7. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
LOL, $1764 very cheap. I'm buying one. /s
10. StephenGal0p (banned) (Posts: 21; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
awesome, but who in the right mind will buy it? iSheeps?
12. eisenbricher (Posts: 972; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
You are correct, i$h33ps do exist here. Very little percentage though compared to developed countries.
11. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1104; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Buddy I just explianed it in my earlier post. You have to wait at least a year before it comes down to the original price that it is available for in the US!
Rotten Apple....Premium device my a$$!
19. raunak (Posts: 505; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
correct. but in one year, more advanced phones will be out and it wont make sense for anyone to buy it.
16. Just_a_boy (Posts: 183; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Cheap [ironic mode on], my family in Brasil told me that iPhone 5 is expected to start from 16GB BRL 3299 (USD 1629), 32GB 3699 ( USD 1820)
17. IHateApple (banned) (Posts: 122; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Really. But I heard that it will launch at 50,000. I guess that's the reason why I have never seen a iPhone in my entire life. I only see the orignal one with my MAths Coaching Teacher.
20. raunak (Posts: 505; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
no its not going to be that expensive.
Its someone on ebay selling that, not apple so you cant trust it. but still when it officially launches its price will be atleast 1100$ or more than that
8. GMS85 (Posts: 157; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
It can be more than this 600$ cause they need a hella of a comeback so they can compete with the other brands people are not interested in windows OS so they have put that under consideration.
15. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1104; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
I am into business analysis and a consultant by profession. Nokia has to get the price right no matter what!
Even earlier when there were really good Gingerbread devices like Xperia X10 and HTC Sensations, Nokia had launched side-slide qwerty phone worth over US $750!!!
Nokia has played the RIM/BB game for quite some time launching good products but grossly overpriced when compared to the competition.
Nokia didnt have a good ecosystem, software integration, app support, cloud integration and yet the prices were right up there.
Granted Windows Phone 8 has all that on paper but it has yet to prove its mettle among the big boys like Android and iOS (Oh I am an Android fan here, of course!)
But at the same time I am all for diiversity and hope Win 8 and Nokia do some good.
Have a nice day :)

Man, 499 Euros for the 820 is too expensive for me.. Guess I'll just go with the 329 Euros HTC 8S, I mean, that phone is also good, right?
