Great Reasons to Work Abroad
If you’ve ever had the opportunity to take a trip abroad, then you know what an amazing experience it can be. From the new culture and people that you get to meet to being able to indulge in delicious food and drink that can’t be found in your home country, there are many more reasons why working abroad is so great. For example, did you know that when you work abroad, not only do you get a chance for an extended vacation since most assignments last for around three years at one time; but also because of the type of work environment and company (e.g. EA) you work for, you can receive many benefits and special perks around the world?
Just because a company is based in one country, that doesn’t mean they only have office locations there. Many companies are expanding their business internationally, which means that even if you are working for a company headquartered in your home country, chances are you could be working abroad at some point in time during your career. For example, Electronic Arts (EA) has a global presences with 9 studios in Canada and the US; 9 studios in Europe; 5 studios in Australia/New Zealand; and 5 studios in Asia. EA also has offices or development centers across Brazil and Japan as well as locations around the Middle East.
Now it might seem a little strange that EA International locations are based in other countries, but the truth is that not all developers operate under one roof. For example, the UK division is made up of 6 studios and teams located all over England; while EA Canada can rely on anywhere from 4-10 locations across Canada to be able to deliver great quality games on a regular basis.
Additionally, the type of work you do at an EA location will vary depending on your responsibilities. For example, if you are working at EA Ireland you might be responsible for all aspects of game development while in Brazil where you’ll be playing a more administrative role (e.g. managing communication between countries and coordinating with other teams).
One of the most important aspects of a great game is the quality, and that’s why EA takes great care to ensure each team works as efficiently as possible. Working with a development team in another country means that they can work to close borders and work around many different time difference; which will ultimately lead to them getting their games out much quicker than they would if they were applying similar methods within their own country.
So before you make the decision to move abroad, it’s important to consider all the benefits you will be receiving whilst working at an EA studio location.

Title: Property Investment - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly [ARTICLE]
My name is Laurence Boughton and I'm a property investor in San Diego. We're seeing more investors coming into this market every day while the housing crisis is still very much alive. We have a specific section in our site dedicated to property investment and we would love to have you join us on that page. If you have any questions or if you think there's anything we can help individual investors learn about investing in San Diego real estate, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by clicking below.
I think it would be a good idea to start out with the good. As far as property investment is concerned, there are many good things about investing in San Diego real estate. The first and foremost positive aspect of investing in San Diego real estate is location, location, location! We are located very close to Mexico. There are a lot of opportunities for foreign investors and there are many different business opportunities that could be done through our proximity to Mexico.
Another great thing about investing in San Diego real estate is that we have several different options for future development. In particular, we have the beautiful area at Mission Bay. It looks amazing and has a lot of potential. We also have areas around Balboa Park which are also amazing as well as areas around Little Italy as well as downtown San Diego which are prime locations for investors.
The good is definitely starting to outweigh the bad at this point and it's going to be a very interesting time for property investors because this real estate market is going to hot soon enough and the next boom will be extremely profitable for those who can react before others realize what's happening.
The good and the bad are definitely in favor of those who understand what they need to do to be successful. The only regret that I have at this point is that property investors are so afraid of losing money. Many of them do not want to take profits because they fear they might lose money. I think this is a very stupid move as far as investing real estate is concerned because you could potentially make more money than anything else and you don't actually have to invest a lot of money in order to succeed.

Title: Games, Browsers and PCs [ARTICLE]
There's a lot of misconceptions about popular games, browsers and PCs. First of all, not all games have to run in the highest available settings in order for them to look good. Nowadays you can find plenty of games that don't look so great, but still play great! Secondly, when some people talk about the best browsers out there they are sometimes talking about IE's capabilities rather than what IE does best - namely rendering sites as fast as possible for desktop applications. Finally, there's a lot of misinformation about the most important fact about PCs - namely how much RAM is required to run popular browsers.
I've experienced every type of PC that you can think of: from very cheap systems game consoles to high-end gaming rigs. I've even used my Mac as an exploration vehicle when I was in college, which was one of my most cherished experiences. It's all been worth it though because I have the knowledge that allows me to help others make their decision.
I'm willing to bet that you're reading this right now because you want to know what browser is best for gaming and what PC is best for viewing YouTube videos. So here I'll give you my unbiased opinion on these subjects.
First of all, the most important game criteria are: graphics and sound; both of which can be achieved by any browser. Pretty much any browser will show you videos smoothly, but some browsers do it better than others. Lately the leaders in this category are Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. As far as sound goes, I personally prefer Opera because it has a very lightweight software that means I can still run other programs at the same time while watching videos or playing games on my system.
Conclusion
I hope that helped you understand how to make an informed decision when buying a PC, but if you still don't know what you need to do, I'll gladly help. My site is http://www.pcmag.com/
