The more I read and learn about bitcoin the more I think it really is the solution for Internet-era money transfers. That it really is a currency Internet needs and deserves... and what do you think?

This is why we love working at @nozbe: Don't stop sending us the super-powers - why we love what we do

Don't stop sending us the supe... feedproxy.google.com screenshot

I don't want to brag but literally every day I get at least one message thanking me for Nozbe and for what I do... so you can imagine that I don't treat my work as WORK but more of as a calling and play?

We love what we do also because other people love what we do... and we get to help them stay on top of everyday things thanks to Nozbe :-)

In Europe mobile bills are just low: Two Countries, Two Vastly Different Phone Bills

Log In - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2014/08/24/business/two-countries-two-vastly-different-phone-bills.htm screenshot

Where I live I'm paying 40 EUR per month for 3 mobile phone lines with talk, data, messages... everything.... around 15 EUR per phone... that's why I prefer to buy iPhone unlocked. I still can't understand why would they charge you $100 per month for a phone bill....

Amazing set of pictures. Need to visit Hong Kong some day. But don't count me in climbing up these roofs. Not for me.

Great question by Seth: Why don't authors compete?

Seth's Blog: Why don't authors... feeds.feedblitz.com/~/73232792/0/sethsblog~Why-dont-authors-compete.htm screenshot

So true. Instead of competing, authors support each other. Changed my way of thinking of my competitors...

If you haven't watched Oblivion and like sci-fi flicks and/or Tom Cruise, you should. It's a great movie. And I really liked this behind the scenes look. So cool.

Next week we'll know for sure, but seems logical: Conjecture Regarding Larger iPhone Displays

Daring Fireball: Conjecture Re... daringfireball.net screenshot

John Gruber says:

But after giving it much thought, and a lot of tinkering in a spreadsheet, here is what I think Apple is going to do: 4.7-inch display: 1334 × 750, 326 PPI @2x 5.5-inch display: 2208 × 1242, 461 PPI @3x

Ok, got it, now which one should I get??? Decisions....

Something to think about today when starting your day: Creative People Say No

Creative People Say No — Med... medium.com screenshot

I like especially the ending:

“No” makes us aloof, boring, impolite, unfriendly, selfish, anti-social, uncaring, lonely and an arsenal of other insults. But “no” is the button that keeps us on.

So true about the end of print... Times are changing...: "last call"

Last Call — Medium medium.com screenshot

Love that quote:

"The future of print remains what? Try to imagine a world where the future of print is unclear: Maybe 25 year olds will start demanding news from yesterday, delivered in an unshareable format once a day. Perhaps advertisers will decide “Click to buy” is for wimps. Mobile phones: could be a fad. After all, anything could happen with print. Hard to tell, really. "
