I've lived in Aarhus and I was quite surprised how small part of Denmark's rail network is electrified, it’s only 642 km of 2560 km (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Denmark), so almost all long-distance trains run on diesel which is quite remarkable in a country that otherwise has a very green view on the environment.

Most of the long-distance trains are of model IC4, the delivery of these trains took ages and one of the missing trains was found in Libya, Italy’s former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi had given it as a gift to the Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi (http://cphpost.dk/news/international/ic4-train-a-gift-from-b...).

Remote work is also possible in those countries that we have an office in.

One has to take into consideration that Rovio isn't today just a game company, half or even more of their income comes from franchise products like e.g. angry Birds soda and clothes. I have a friend who works as their soda manager dealing with worldwide agreements with softdrink companies to produce Angry Birds soft drinks, not exactly a job you would find in most game studios.

"We’ll also be releasing a Dropbox app for Windows Phone and Windows tablet users in the coming months."

Not a day too early for the Windows Phone official app and another tick off the list of missing apps for Microsoft's mobile platform.

As a Finn i find it most hilarious when it comes to counting the Olympics, e.g. "Kahdennetkymmenennettoiset talviolympialaiset" would be "twenty-second winter Olympics". Even our sport journalists have troubles getting those n:s and t:s correctly pronounced.

If this becomes the trend (which in my opinon would be nice) it will become a big problem for companies that specialise in customer tracking e.g. for supermarkets and big department stores. Previously it was quite easy to track a customer, how long he or she spends time in the store, which floors he or she visits, etc. by putting up dummy WiFI-networks that the customers phones find by giving out their MAC-addresses.

It still seems to cost a lot, e.g. Vivo Casa package which has 8Mbit download speed is 74CHF, I have the same connection but with a VDSL-model. The interesting part is that my connection really is 27Mbit so that the IPTV gets enough bandwith, then Swisscom adds this "artifical" speed reducer so that the Internet traffic only reaches a maximum of 8Mbit. :-(

xDSL-prices are still quite high here, at least in Gèneve.

I'm not 100% sure if Swisscom has a monopoly as I have only lived here since January but here are Swisscom's price list for xDSL (rough calculation from CHF to EUR):

5/0,5 Mbit: 30 euro

10/1 Mbit: 40 euro

20/2 Mbit: 55 euro

For these connections you also have to pay for a fixed telephone line (hello Swisscom, this is the 21-century, not the 19:th!) which costs 20 euro per month.

(Source: http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/internet/internet-at-h...)

Back in Finland I got a 50/10Mbit connection for 40 euros which included IPTV.

Switzerland exports more than just bank services, e.g. grocery products like cheese and chocolate which are products produced with low wages. And yes it'expensive, I'm currently living in Gèneve and paying more than enough for my kebabs (it's cheaper to pay for the tram to Annemasse in France and have the kebab over there).
