One could argue that extreme climate swings might make for an _ideal_ development environment. Environmental extremes would better model real-world conditions.

I have sometimes wondered if where a company is based forms their products.

While wikipedia now says that Subaru has their HQ in Tokyo, i could have sworn they were initially based on Japan's northern island. And they seem to make some damn fine cars for winter roads.

Similarly both Korea and Finland gets damn cold during winter, and thus both Samsung and Nokia may have ignored capacitive touch screens since they don't work too well with thick gloves.

Yeah, but you don't want that during prototype times. You'd want to test that under controlled times when you feel you have a better product.
