Forex broker review and best forex broker recommendation

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.

An anonymous reader writes "Verizon today announced that the
approximately 45,000 wireline employees represented by the CWA and IBEW
that have been on strike will return to work beginning Monday night,
August 22nd, without new collective bargaining agreements. Since the
strike began two weeks ago, Verizon has been battling [0]criminal acts of
sabotage against its network facilities and union picketers intimidating
non-union replacement workers and illegally blocking garage and work
center entrances. One union picketer even went as far as to [0]instruct
his young daughter to stand in front of a Verizon truck to illegally
block it from coming back to a Verizon work center in New Jersey. Verizon
said the wireline employees now on strike would be working under the
terms of the contracts that expired on Saturday, August 6th. The
contracts will be extended with no specific deadline for achieving new
collective bargaining agreements so that the parties can take the time
required to resolve the critical issues, the company said."

An anonymous reader writes "The IT industry is a lot different than it
was 10 years ago; it underwent a huge boom in terms of labor and services
required to keep up with the times. Now, we are entering a consolidation
phase. The cloud makes it easier for companies to host e-mail, so now
instead of organizations having their own Exchange guy, they will
outsource it to the cloud. Instead of having a bunch of network
engineers, they will deploy wireless and no longer need cabling or
current levels of network engineering services. What do you think the
long-term consequences of this will be? What skills do you think will be
useful in 10 years? Is IT going to put its own out of work, like we did
with the post office and libraries?"

theodp writes "In his [0]Centennial Conversation at the Computer History
Museum, IBM CEO Sam Palmisano emphasized the importance of investing in
R&D, even in a down economy. 'Shareholder expectations for higher returns
don't diminish when the economy stutters,' said Sam. 'And yet, Tom Watson
Sr. actually increased research investment during the Great Depression.'
Palmisano added, 'I will tell you that my own instinctive reflex isn't to
continue investing $6 billion a year during the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression. In that regard, I'm like all CEOs.'"

An anonymous reader writes with news that 25,000 staff across 13
hospitals in Denmark will be [0]switching to LibreOffice over the course
of the next year. "The group of hospitals is phasing out a proprietary
alternative, 'for long term strategic reasons,' which at the same time
saves the group some 40 million Kroner [about $7.7 million] worth of
proprietary licenses. The ditching of the proprietary alternative is a
consequence of the group's move to virtual desktops, allowing staff
members to log in on any PC or thin client. The group found that
deploying this new desktop infrastructure would 'trigger unacceptably
high costs' for proprietary office licenses... The move is Europe's
second largest migration project involving public administrations using
an open source office suite."

theodp writes "CNET reports that rather than backing down after
complaints about its insistence that [0]Google+ user accounts be opened
under a real name, Google has upped the ante and will [1]pin
'verification badges' on users in an effort to assure people that 'the
person you're adding to a circle is really who they claim to be.' In a

[0]jfruhlinger writes with news that Research In Motion will soon [1]jump
into the music service market. The service will be available through
BlackBerry Messenger, and will offer users 50 songs for $5/month, which
they can then share with other people who own BlackBerries. "So [2]why
would anyone pay $5 a month to get 50 songs on their phone, when they can
pay $10 a month and get an unlimited number of songs, that work on lots
of different devices, from services like Rdio and Rhapsody? Reasonable
question! But RIM seems to be assuming that its subscribers won���t ask.
Instead it is playing up the notion that BBM Music will be about
'personalizing' your phone, in the same way that ringtones supposedly did
a decade ago. Ringtones, as you���ll recall, let buyers play a few seconds
of a song, and sold for a couple bucks, while full songs from Apple���s
iTunes went for 99 cents. And for a few years, the music companies and
the wireless carriers sold lots and lots of ringtones."

submitting assignments and getting regular feedback on their progress.
The subjects are Machine Learning with Andrew Ng and Database with

well over 100,000 prospective students signing up to the AI course
