I'm sorry, but WHAT ? Did you even pay attention, or try to see this from the perspective of other countries on this world ?
The U.S. basically crapped on the doorstep of every other country out there, doing huge damage to public relations everywhere and confirming the opinion of many that americans seem to look down on others and feel they are superior to everybody. How is that even remotely making the U.S. look good ? If anything, I would have said that now, even more people cannot stand the U.S. for their displayed arrogance.
Oh and by the way - now that this bad stuff is public about how the U.S. does foreign politics, they try to hush it up everywhere, even threatening employees and students; stuff that the U.S. never got tired of complaining about when other countries like China were doing it. So basically they have shown that they are not better in the least.
So how again does this in any way, shape or form make the U.S. look good ? I live in Europe, and dislike and sometimes hate has skyrocketed about the U.S. Not that american patriots would care, just saying.
I'm always surprised how so many americans seem to approve of how Israel and the U.S. handle things down there.
I'm from Europe, and most people I know have great difficulties to understand why the U.S. can still honestly support Israel.
Out of acts of desperation, a few minor groups launch crappy missiles towards israeli settlements, damaging a house or hurting one person;
as a response, israeli anihilate 30 or more palestinians. It goes like that all the time.. no matter the cost on the israeli side, the
damage on the other side is always so much greater.
Apart from that, let's not forget the (illegal) creation of new settlements, not following previous contracts about the separation of the land,
and generally being a total bully to the palestinians, making their lives even more miserable.
All of this generates even more hate, thus forming the next line of people willing to die for their country - and so on.
The problem is self-made.
Hello !
You must be American.
Noone else would talk like the whole world only evolves around the USA and their leader.
There are plenty of other free countries, and most of them don't give a flying - well you know - what Obama does or doesn't do.
Funny how when Microsoft pulls a stunt like this, everyone is at their throat.
But if Google does it, it seems to be ok or not that bad.
Did you ever consider that I might want to share an article with those two guys,
but not with the other two, and certainly not with the rest of my 50 friend profiles ?
Or did you consider that I might have a LOT shared with one guy for business reasons
(so removing the shared data is not an option), yet also have profiles of competitors on my
list (removing not an option either) that I certainly DON'T want to share the stuff with ?
I mean, I don't even use that stuff (I distrust Google since they started getting bigger)
and I can see a mile away that this feature is crap.

A ton of servers ? The big linux numbers you see published are desktops.

He sure as hell isn't my leader.

share with someone != share with everybody
