I have long wanted to go to the mountains. Friends advised me to begin with the Elbrus (5600 m). This year I finally found the time for it, but before I considered all the pros and cons and got myself fixed up it was August.

She won’t dance to your tune and she most often likes the things that her parents taught her – there are no ifs ands or buts about it. And if, on top of that, you happen to be a man of fashion, then dressing her up will be a great strain on your nerves. So you’d better think before you mess up with her.

When planning to create mobile applications, customers would generally select several platforms that they consider the most sought-after by end-users. But is their choice always justified and appropriate? We decided to take a deeper insight into the subject matter and find out what mobile phone users prefer most.

Software, as the co-founder of Netscape and maker of the first user-friendly browser Marc Andreessen pointed in his already famous editorial, is eating the world, so companies have to get ready for program revolution.
