Forex broker review and best forex broker recommendation

For most people who have daily jobs, it is difficult to trade forex in office time. Thanks for the smart phones, we can trade with phones. I am using iPhone, I can only find two companies who has forex apllication for iphone traders. I don't choose oanda, because I had bad time when I fund my acount the first time. It took forever and nobody follow up with my complains. Also its small leverage and crazy pips spead during news time is nightmare for traders.

The other one is quite good and provide tight pips spread and a lot of services. My friends strongly recommend me use it and until now I am quite happy! It is your choice for this best iphone forex broker! They are pleased to offer you a choice of 3 different spread options: ECN Premier, Variable and Fixed spreads. You can choose the one suits your need.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An anonymous reader writes "The Netherlands is testing a new [0]car use
tax system that will tax drivers based upon how much they drive rather
than just taxing the vehicle itself. The trials utilize a little box
outfitted with GPS, wireless internet, and a complex rating system that
tracks a car's environmental impact, its distance driven, its route, and
what time it is driven as a fairer way to assess the impact of the
vehicle and hopefully dissuade people from driving. The proposal will be
introduced slowly as a replacement for the current car and gas tax,
however it is most certainly controversial and will be a real test of how
far environmentally savvy Dutch citizens will be willing to go to reduce
the impact of the car."

An anonymous reader writes with a link to Hack A Day's step-by-step guide
to [0]installing Linux on a 386 laptop, which looks like a nice rainy-day
project, as long as you are a stubborn hardware collector. It gets
complicated, though, because 386 support has long since disappeared from
most mainstream distros, which is why the writer went with Debian 1.3.1.

An anonymous reader writes "Apple has filed two patent applications that
describe an approach as well as file formats and APIs [0]to eliminate the
printer driver as a requirement for users to access a printer and print
documents. If the company has its way, there will be three ways to access
a printer in the future: The first will be via a conventional software
driver. The second will be via a cloud service and the third will be via
a driverless access method that supports 'universal' printing from any
type device."

million to develop everything from light-weight building materials to
electronics and advanced fuel. Last month, the U.S. set new fuel
efficiency standards for cars and light trucks, saying they must hit 54.5
miles per gallon by Model Year 2025. The projects awarded contracts
should address some of the issues involved in making cars and trucks more
fuel efficient. At least that's the idea."

[0]farrellj writes "A recent decision in the Ontario Appeals court has

property, rather than being a license. This has major ramifications for a
people both inside and outside Canada, doubly so since Tucows is a major
domain registrar. This ruling comes from a very high court, which means
that any appeal must go to the Supreme Court of Canada. So there is a
good chance this ruling will stand."

Smartphones, if they prioritize best reception for calls. 'As would be
expected, all the 2G operators have widespread coverage of the roads that
were surveyed with relatively few not-spots. [1]3G coverage is much lower
on the roads driven, likely reflecting the stage of network roll out in

cast a pall on the community. The company says it filed a request with
the United States Patent and Trademark office Friday for reexamination of
two patents asserted by East Texas-based patent firm Lodsys. Google's
request calls for the USPTO to assess whether or not the patents' claims
