In 2003, just 3.2% of households were cell-only, while in the 2010 election one-quarter of American adults have ditched their landlines and rely exclusively on their mobile phones, and a lot of pollsters don't call mobile phones.
This is exactly what has happened in Polish presidential elections 2010. In the first voting, one of the candidates was overrepresented while the other one - underrepresented due to surveying companies a) avoiding cell phones and b) wrongly assigning those that refused to answer.
Has he ever wondered, why Poles and Russians are better programmers than many other nations. And as in Poland secondary school math was not compulsory for over a decade, one could trace the quality of programmers at different age levels.
while i'm using mso2k7 and mso2k10 on my computers (@work), in my prevoius job I was so much pissed with broken formatting of word 2003 (eg. constantly breaking headers of chapters, annoying behaviuor of autoindexing) that for some 20 months I switched completely to oo write (then: 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5). It took me some time to adapt to different philosophy of section formatting, but then I saved a lot of time, compared to my colleagues. Some even tried using oo.
Perheps this is because each java update forces the bloody 'autoupdater service' (jusched). Theoretically it allows user to turn it off. When I turn it off, close java config and reopen - schedule is still active. Cutting in registry is the proper sollution.
Google should begin with fixing the broken search engine. Don't know how about global, but in my country when you search for street-name, city-name with window zoomed to this very city; search moves you to completely other town with different name. Also when you search for town with some name, it often finds villages named the same and comlpetely ignores the town. So recently google maps suck badly in their "core" functionality.

EU lesson was that operators are too greedy. Although there are many more mobile operators in EU (and on top of that - VMOs), they did little to keep roaming rates sane. European Commission issued a warning which did not work. Administrative cap on rates introduced two years ago was a good move for customers, while it is still high enough so operators don't lose money on your calls.
I remember that in 2000 and 2001 roaming calls from a neighboring country were in area of 0.70 USD (which was ~140% of regular rate in my country) and text messages at 0.20 USD (which was by 0.01 USD cheaper than in my country). I was amazed that after 5 years rates were twice as high. Now (after regulation) voice is again below 1 USD, but text messages are more like 0.30 USD...
Just look at profits of power supply companies. And electrons don't see a single penny from it. Protest against exploitation of electrons and share the electricity (by connecting to public lighting)

But you can't complain (from technical pov)! Forms ain't working.

The problem is, we've lost our dignity. We as a nation, we as passengers, our "leaders" - we have lost our dignity.
Is that why GWB is traveling abroad not so often those days?
