Max Senges Listening Post Ablenkung - iPhone App Downloads Dropped In September, iPhone 4S Anticipation Pegged As Culprit Marketing technology company Fiksu’s data for the month of September shows the year’s biggest drop in application downloads, a trend it claims was impacted by mobile consumers holding out for the next Apple iPhone. Last month, the company speculated that a hiatus in sales of older iPhone models was impacting app downloads, and Apple’s recent admission of a drop of 3 million device sales last quarter appears to validate that claim. The company publishes its Fiksu Indexes monthly to measure fluctuations in competition for rank in the app stores and the cost to acquire loyal users in order to help mobile app marketers benchmark their performance against industry averages. In September, the Fiksu App Store Competitive Index, which measures the average aggregate daily download volume of the Top 200 free U.S. iPhone apps, dropped by 6% from 4.06 million downloads in August to 3.8 million.
University of Helsinki - Helsinki Summer Seminar International Investment Law: Between Public and Private? International investment law has over the last two decades or so become highly visible, and investment arbitration has become intensely used. For all the benefits this may generate, it is increasingly becoming clear that relying on investment protection may come to affect the public sector and the distribution of common goods. The Helsinki Summer Seminar aims to offer a forum for discussing a variety of salient political issues, including the effects of investment on development, the ever-important energy sector, and the possible conclusion of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The 27th Helsinki Summer Seminar on International Law is open to students, researchers and practitioners with a keen interest in the topic. No other scholarship are available.
Der Eurobond ist noch nicht gestorben EZB-Ratsmitglied Klaas Knot hält die Einführung von Eurobonds zur Lösung der Schuldenkrise langfristig doch für möglich. "Ich sehe Eurobonds als einen guten Weg zur Vermeidung von Liquiditätsproblemen in einem Mitgliedsland und Ansteckungsgefahren", sagte Knot am Freitag. Die deutsche Regierung lehnt Eurobonds dagegen nachdrücklich ab, sieht sich aber in Europa vielen Stimmen gegenüber, die das anders sehen. Dazu zählt zum Beispiel die EU-Kommission, aber auch Eurogruppenchef Jean-Claude Juncker. Eurobonds sind Anleihen, die gemeinsam von den Staaten der Eurozone ausgegeben werden. Es gibt sie bisher nicht. Das derzeitige umstrittene Bond-Ankauf-Programm der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) zur Bekämpfung der Schuldenkrise stelle eine Gefahr für die Haushaltsdisziplin in der Eurozone dar, fügte der niederländische Notenbankchef hinzu.

Euro-Krise: Alle Macht den Deutschen? | Politik Hegemon wider Willen – Berlin dominiert Europa und ist damit überfordert. Speichern Drucken Twitter Facebook Google + Mit politischer Macht verhält es sich wie mit Millionen von Euro auf dem Konto: Man spricht nicht darüber. Man hört ihn in Brüssel, in dieser dramatischen Woche mit ihren Rettungsgipfeln und nächtlichen Krisensitzungen. Anzeige Man hört den deutschen Einfluss auch in Berlin, im Bundestag, wo die Abgeordneten erneut über den Euro-Rettungsfonds EFSF abstimmen. Man hört jetzt viel über Deutschland in den anderen Hauptstädten Europas, in Paris und Rom und London: Was die Regierung in Berlin alles tun könnte, um die gemeinsame Währung zu retten. Es mag jetzt bei der Euro-Rettung alles auf Deutschland zulaufen, weil es das einzige Land zu sein scheint, das wirtschaftlich stark genug ist, die Lasten für die anderen zu tragen.
