Using the World Bank’s purchasing power parity data, which shows differences in the cost of living and the relationship between exchange rates and price levels between different countries, we developed a concept for regional pricing.

We’re delighted to say that we are now rolling out the program worldwide!

We hope that this model will better reflect the realities of life for all of our customers.

Honestly, if I felt like starting a company (and I REALLY don't) it's the perfect time to create a local device that acts as my both my online cloud and assistant. Maybe it's a companion device to Apple/Google Home/Home Assistant. It seems so blindingly obvious I can't believe there aren't 10 companies doing it now.

It will start off a bit geeky andlikely won't be a consumer device initially. Too many barriers to make it interoperate easily.

But things are so moving in that direction.

Watching the Apple Writing tool ads in utter disbelief. Is this the same sabotaging ad agency that made the iPad ad? 1. The lazy employee: Didn't read the brief, theatrically and unnecessarily leaves the room and comes back lying that he read the brief, closing to a fist pumping soundtrack that shouts "genius!" This is not irony, it's sarcasm. Against Apple.
