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.

theodp writes "Federal prosecutors [0]will not charge a Texas judge seen
lashing his teenage daughter with a belt on a YouTube video taken seven
years ago and posted online last week, closing the door on the
possibility of criminal charges in the case. The viral video, uploaded by
now 23-year-old Hillary Adams, shows her father, Aransas County
Court-at-Law Judge William Adams, [1]whipping her with a belt for
downloading music when she was 16 ([2]full video, requires login).
'F*****g computers,' the judge tells his now ex-wife on the video. 'I
told you I didn't want one in the god damn house. See all the problems
they cause?' Judge Adams issued a statement asserting that his daughter
released the tape to retaliate against him for withdrawing his financial
support."

The extra room on the disc image could allow for integration of more

to use a [2]1.5GB DVD image as the default download for Ubuntu 12.04."

[0]Hugh Pickens writes "Nick Wingfield writes in the NY Times that
Apple's present pricing strategy is a big change from the 1990s, when
consumers regarded Apple as a producer of overpriced tech baubles, unable
to compete effectively with its Macintosh family of computers against the
far cheaper Windows PCs. Now within the premium product categories where
Apple is most at home, comparable devices often do no better than match
or slightly undercut Apple's prices. 'They're not cheap, but I don't
think they're viewed as high-priced anymore,' says Stewart Alsop.
Winfield writes that Apple uses its [1]growing manufacturing scale and
logistics prowess to deliver Apple products at far more aggressive prices,
which in turn gives it more power to influence pricing industrywide, and
one of Apple's pricing secrets has been it's willingness to tap into its
[2]huge war chest ��� $82 billion in cash and marketable securities last
quarter ��� to take big gambles by locking up supplies of parts for years."

support embedded fonts, and in NT4 and later fonts are parsed in kernel
mode! Other possible attack vectors, for example, include web pages
visited using web browsers that support embedded fonts without the OTS
font sanitizer (which recent versions of Firefox and Chrome have
adopted)." Adds reader Trailrunner7: "This is the first time that the
exact location and nature of the flaw has been made public. Microsoft
said that the permanent fix for the new vulnerability will not be ready
in time for next week's November patch Tuesday release."

[0]hessian writes with this story in Wired: "Federal authorities used a
fake Verizon cellphone tower to zero in on a suspect's wireless card, and
say they were perfectly within their rights to do so, even without a
warrant. But the feds don't seem to want that legal logic challenged in
court by the alleged identity thief they nabbed using the spoofing
device, known generically as a stingray. So the government is telling a
court for the first time that spoofing a legitimate wireless tower in
order to conduct surveillance [1]could be considered a search under the
Fourth Amendment in this particular case, and that its use was legal,
thanks to a court order and warrant that investigators used to get
similar location data from Verizon's own towers."

but even so, she spends most of her days just watching daytime TV, like
the Price is Right and talk shows. The family has tasked me with finding
her an easy-to-use, not overly expensive device that would mentally
challenge her. Ideally, I would like to get something iPad like so that
she could play card games and such. But the Internet connectivity and
advanced features are completely unnecessary. Is there a simple device

network congestion slows it down, said Hugh Fletcher, associate director
for technology in Verizon's Product Development and Technology team. The
