For the next five billion: Android One
Google, India - September 15, 2014 - There are three big reasons why it's hard for people in countries such as India, Indonesia or the Philippines to get their hands on a high-quality smartphone. First, is the hardware itself. Second, many people in these markets do not have access to the latest Android software and popular applications. Finally, even where 3G and 4G networks are available, not enough people have phones that can support data and the plans can be expensive.

Dr Hubert A. Janiszewski: Rządowy Miszmasz, czyli gdyby...
Warszawa - 20 sierpnia 2014 - "Gdyby MON poinformował oferenta z Francji, że skoro Francja ma zamiar dostarczyć Mistrale do Rosji, to MON nie będzie rozpatrywał oferty z Francji na dostawę rakietowego systemu obrony przeciwlotniczej, to może stanowisko w sprawie Mistrali uległoby zmianie, a sankcje wobec Rosji stałyby się bardziej zdecydowane. Gdyby wcześniej skorzystano z pomysłu Aleksandra Gudzowatego, to dzisiaj mielibyśmy dodatkowy łącznik gazowy pomiędzy systemem przesyłu gazu w Polsce i Unii Europejskiej. Gdyby wprowadzić zasady FIDIC przy realizacji kontraktów na duże i skomplikowane inwestycje infrastrukturalne, to można by uniknąć masowych bankructw firm budowlanych oraz ich poddostawców, a takie inwestycje realizowane byłyby dużo sprawniej i efektywniej. Gdyby wprowadzić stanowczy zakaz budownictwa, w tym mieszkalnego, na terenach zalewowych, to skutki sezonowych powodzi byłyby zdecydowanie mniejsze. Gdyby od początku ograniczono i efektywnie kontrolowano możliwości praktycznie nieograniczonej inwigilacji i podsłuchów, jakie mają niezliczone służby specjalne w Polsce, to prawdopodobieństwo 'afery taśmowej' byłoby istotnie zminimalizowane." - pisze dr Hubert A. Janiszewski - ekonomista, członek Polskiej Rady Biznesu oraz rad nadzorczych spółek notowanych na GPW.
