La nuova proprietà si aggiunge agli altri domini di Big G, fra cui .android, .free, .fyi e .foo.

Doch jetzt hat Google bei einer erneuten Auktion noch einmal zugeschlagen und sich .app für ganze 25 Millionen Dollar gesichert. Böse Zungen ... read more ...

A recent study reveals that leading companies have enjoyed healthy profits because they made doing good their strategic foundation. The authors analyzed the core values of 34 companies from ... read more ...
