Apple avenue blossoms again

The agenda item "apple avenue" brought great joy at the youngest meeting of the stegaurach community council. For a quarter of a century, the development area in the village of debring was at a standstill. Now the way to twenty new residential buildings there is finally free. Peter bittel of the engineering firm wolf presented the development plan for the construction area. The council was of the opinion that the office had been very prudent in its planning, because traffic and noise were largely kept out of the area of apple avenue during this tree removal, which is only to be welcomed for the inner development of debrings.

After an intensive discussion about former development cost contributions and the regulation of incoming and outgoing traffic along apple avenue, the council’s only wish was that there should be as many flats as possible with insect-friendly plantings around the development area.

Samsung vs. Apple – the eternal smartphone war

It’s a never-ending battle for the best smartphone. For years, the sudkorean technology group samsung and the californian computer company apple have been competing in the smartphone market. The former unrestricted dominance of apple’s iphone has long since been broken, and in the meantime samsung holds most of the market shares. The reasons for this are many, because the samsung galaxy S4 and the iphone 5s are more different than ever before. But the lower price of the samsung smartphones was really the deciding factor. Meanwhile, attractive contract models with, for example, all-net flat rates are available for smartphones from both manufacturers, for iphones as well as for samsung galaxy smartphones. You can sign up for these either at your local branch or simply online.

When the trend started with the mixed devices of cell phone and computer, there were far more competitors in the smartphone segment. However, one of the founders of the smartphone, canadian manufacturer RIM (research in motion), is currently having massive problems selling enough models of its blackberry smartphones. Currently, even the chinese PC manufacturer lenovo is buying the books of the formerly so successful company. A takeover of the faltering company could possibly give the matter a new lease of life.
