that's very interesting exlanation.. do you have the link to the interview of the DeepMind team?

My guess is that the profits from the referral link goes to Gates foundation for charity.

Firebase and their data sync api's are really great. You could really build a lot of things if you're creative.

There's also a lot of PC-bangs(equivalent to internet cafes) in Korea as well.

This idea would naturally develop into personally curated site based on your voting preferences, i.e. Amazon for news.

Korea's biggest search engine(www.naver.com) is basically like this. they created a walled garden that gives you practically everything. These portal type sites disincentivize individual sites from creating contents, because the search engine directs the traffic into their own services(Q&A, blog, etc.).

In countries which their language is based in Chinese, there's a whole branch of theory on how different names affect people's lives. The meaning and sound of each characters and even how many strokes it take to write each character are taken into account.

it reads: thanks for using myid.net so far, we have decided to discontinue the service.

We need to use IE for most banking/online shopping sites. So the market share of Windows/IE in Korea is higher than other parts of the world.

Most people have Windows/IE installed together with their preferred OS/browser, myself included.

For mobile banking the situation's a little bit better but it is cumbersome nonetheless.

I think the payment system in S. Korea has a lot of potential for disruption, but the current regulatory laws force the businesses to use ActiveX.
