Fellow Kiwi here; and yeah, there's no comparison. The National Govt that in NZ gets criticised for its conservative politics would be regarded as a party of extreme lunatic Marxists in the USA. Similarly the most left-leaning branch of the US Democratic Party would be regarded as a party of Bible-fondling guncrazy fascists Down Under.
Tennant played Hamlet with Stewart from Aug 2008 to Jan 2009; Tennant's last shows as the Doctor hadn't even begun filming when Hamlet ended.
Tennant actually announced his 2010 retirement from the show to the world during intermission in one of the Hamlet performances in 2008. "I have to go back on stage now, I have to kill Patrick Stewart!"
We know the 13th doctor is evil (from past episodes)
Yeah, just like we know that the Daleks were all destroyed (from past episodes). And there was a Time War between Daleks and Time Lords (from past episodes). And the Cybermen invaded Earth (from past episodes). And you can't or can travel back along your own timeline (from past episodes). And so on and so on.
I get the feeling Ecclestone left because he had some sort of falling out with the producers; Tennant seemed to quit because he loved the role and the show so much he thought he'd ruin it if he didn't quit while it was awesome with Davies at the helm; and who knows with Smith?
We know the 13th doctor is evil (from past episodes) and we know (unless they changed it since he's the last timelord), timelords only get 12 regens (making 13 total lives). So it would be logical (Star Trek reference, couldn't resist) that John Hurt is the next doctor.
You're forgetting the most important bit: Steven Moffat now writes whatever he wants, retconning, contradicting, or just plain ignoring anything that has gone before, whenever he wants. Doctor Who has reached the stage where someone could just wave a sonic screwdriver (which rather than a simple electronic skeleton key has under Moffat become a tool more akin to a combined repulsor beam-tricorder-Hitchhiker's Guide-magic wand) and restart the Universe from scratch, giving the Doc' as many regenerations as he wants. Oh, and the Weeping Angels will pop up somewhere.
Doctor Who under Moffat has just gone mental. It's like a D&D campaign where the DM just doesn't give a shit any more and +20 everything items are in every box.
Crap content, crap summary, crap analysis. Jesus, is someone holding a gun to your head and FORCING you to post Apple stories? There's NO APPLE NEWS. Apple has gone quiet, as it does quite regularly, and the tech press is losing it's fucking mind.
Thus China is botnet heaven. Anyone out there running a zombie network is going to have a metric fuckton of Chinese clients. Thus, when the botnet is used to get in somewhere it shouldn't and access files someone doesn't want accessed, the trail is always going to lead back to China.
We have just announced on the Official Google Blog that we will soon retire Google Island (the actual date is August 18, 2013). We know Island has a devoted following who will be very sad to see it go. We're sad too.
This billionaire advertising executive is so totally disconnected from the issues facing real people in the real world that it boggles the mind.
"Why would anyone want privacy for their medical records? I don't get it. If that causes insurance problem then we should just change the insurance system. Why is this so hard for you people to understand?"
if your UI is so discoverable that all you have to do is hit one key and then type whatever you're looking for and *boom* there it is, you know you have a great UI.
Apple is "known" for their great UIs and yet it's far more difficult to find things on a damn mac, iphone or ipad than it's ever been on a windows device.
Sounds like you've never actually used a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

I look forward to "The Inclusive, Supportive, Non-threatening Space and the Bazaar".

Please, do continue measuring the massless sizeless thing in units of things with mass and size. It makes lots of sense.
Next up: Slashdot reveals that some of those billionaire Nigerian princes aren't actually real!
If the editor appends "what do you think?" on to the end of the article summary, it's just linkwhoring for ad impressions.
for god's sake, enough with the absolute-nothing Apple stories for the sake of ad impressions, it's pathetic.
As if anyone's hard-up enough to steal an Android or Windows phone. "iPhone, iPad and other Apple device thefts"
The Mac business is doing fine.

With the director of "GI Jane" and "Prometheus" how could it fail?

It was the lizard men!
I'm surprised you decided to omit the worst group of offensive subhumans from your list: people who don't put the something something something!
You misspelled "Glassholes".
Wouldn't it be more efficient to just... push the asteroid out of the way?

Apple's stock is tanking
Yeah, it must really suck being the most VALUABLE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY ON EARTH.

In conclusion, open.
Why the negative commentary?
Because Google is an advertising company. Advertising companies are cunts.

Yeah, we need to focus on things more important than that a female won a programming contest.
Like, why was there a dev workstation in the kitchen?
