Berlin, isn't that one of the most culturally diverse and liberal cities in the whole of Europe now? Have you ever travelled out of the US?
I'm not sure what the relevance of your comment was, nor what the intention of it was but if you haven't been to Berlin, you should go, it's fantastic.
TFA you linked is talking about companies based on size, not technological innovation, it's misleading to say a technology company is not 'one of the best' just because they're not the size of Apple.
I can speak for the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden in saying we're all fantastically innovative nations and have huge technology markets, the fragmentation may not lead to companies the size of Apple but to dismiss them entirely is naive at best.
You seem to also forget that your Apple behemoths have development offices in London et al and brain drain a lot of talent from Europe that I've been categorically told time and time again you lack in places like Silicon Valley; this last point is particularly important, most of your huge firms got that way because of your rather relaxed antitrust laws compared to Europe. Whether that makes them good or bad is a debate that depends on too many factors that aren't even covered in your article.
It's that kind of ignorance that gives American a bad name, fortunately over the other side of the pond here we're not so ignorant to generalise that all Americans are ignorant idiots.
'All' of the world's best tech firms are not, in America, in fact the largest one in the world by revenue is in South Korea.
This is a list of notable cryptocurrencies. There were more than 669 cryptocurrencies available for trade in online markets as of 24 August 2015 and more than 740 in total[1] but only 8 of them had market capitalizations over $10 million.
I agree with this 100%. I worked on the original Yahoo WDK (bought from konfabulator) on the first series 7 LED TV prototype TVs from Samsung. They sent a series of Men In Black esque guys to our London office to review the difficulties we were having with performance on the prototype headsets we had, and basically said 4 words to us before fucking off back to wherever they came from as if they were god like.
I asked them to bump the hardware (we're talking a 200mhz SOC with 16MB RAM) and they declined and told us once we'd written the software "if it works we'll bump the hardware".
Bit hard to write an impressive UI with transitions etc when dealing with 16MB RAM and a worse-than pentium embedded SOC architecture, arrogant c**ts.
Oh and they wanted me to go and work for them for half of my usual day rate just outside west London, in a shit hole of an area for the record. Almost like I should be appreciative in some way? No thanks.

There HAS to be something relevant on Emotion Eric, surely?

Hello, Erin Brockovich.

Samsung is Korean, not 'chink'.
Yup.

...but can it run Crysis?
Yes, I and, several other British overlords are taking some serious consideration to moving to Amsterdam or Berlin, for good.
This is after the impending EU referendum which, anyone with a brain will be voting against so that we can actually stay in Europe.

"Since soy sauce king also do hand ring"
I didn't know Pepsi made soy sauce.
Not in the slightest.
In fact that comment is somewhat embarrasing.
Fucking hell mate, you have way too much time on your hands.

No; don't be stupid.
Is that the en_US or en_GB locale though? There's massive differences between the two languages after all...
