We're talking about different kind of rich. You're talking ~0.01%, I'm talking about the "upper class" that serves these in high income roles. These are usually some 2-5% of population in poor countries.
Kidnappings are generally directed at this part of populace, because they're fairly easy targets, but typically wealthy enough to be able to afford hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of USD in ransom money. This is well seen in economies that are not terribly bad but well below Western standards, such as many Latin American countries, Russia and so on.
They're not dropping it. Announcement says that most of the w8 features will be ported over to "WP 7.8 update".
Problem is, it seems that wp7 had some extremely tight hardware requirements, such as built in flash memory card, so making many of the wp8 changes would make it unportable to older phones due to hardware issues.
I guess it's all up to how well the "wp7.8" patch will be done.
I had a flash application that made my old nokia 5800 phone vibrate in various intervals. And phone was small enough to fit inside a condom with some stretching.
You won't see something like that on your new hip iphone!:D
In many cases, onboard memory is one of the targets of cost savings. Spend money on a class 10 memory card and you'll likely find it performing better then built in memory.
Windows phone is the desktop linux of mobile phones. It's simply so rare in the wild that it makes no sense to try to own it, as it will cost more to do so then realistic gains.
You argument is dependent on the fact that nothing is permanent. Certainly, it's likely that at some point, MAD will fail. However having seen WW2 and the sheer amounts of violence that industrial age can produce, it's arguably a lesser evil even when eventually failing, in addition to the fact that it hasn't failed in a long time and instead forced countries to enter economic warfare instead. This economic warfare tied superpowers together so tight, that in addition to military MAD, essentially all superpowers are also tied together by economy MAD which resulted from prolonged peace.
In other parts of the world, being rich sucks a whole lot more then it does in the West. Because when there's a shitload of poor people with no prospects for a future, kidnapping a moneybag, aka rich person or his relative becomes a very attractive proposition.
But yeah, let's draw direct comparisons to places that have fundamental differences AND let you live off much less because everything also costs a whole lot less... Yeah. Stupid.
Or did you? Most forget that concentration camps were not common knowledge until they were actually conquered, causing massive shock to soldiers who entered them.
Reality is, morale of one in position of strength is that strength is moral. Weakness is immoral. Weakness that dares to oppose to wishes of strong is so immoral, it needs to be suppressed in name of morality.
There is a fairly interesting problem here that you both are missing. We now have a precedent where US/Israel attacked a country through cyber warfare means semi-officially without declaring war.
It's now entirely feasible for anther country to do the exactly same thing to US and US will be hard pressed arguing that this constitutes the act of war because of precedent it set itself.
Nay. West has automatic moral high ground because it's moral by nature, and anyone opposing moral country is clearly immoral. There is no need for further justification.
(Notably the same argument was and is used in all superpowers).
This is a false assumption. International politics changed massively when we invented weapons of mass destruction. Suddenly wars between countries that both wield weapons of mass destruction became a realistic impossibility. MAD as a concept did something that nothing did in our entire history - mandate peace.
The fact that you mix propaganda (North demanding South's surrender in Korea) with real politics (when talking about international politics) shows the depth of your lack of understanding of underlying issues.
Essentially all jailbreak techniques are application of malware principles (but for a good purpose from user's PoV). For example, some time ago your iphone could get rooted (and jailbroken) by visiting a certain webpage. This vulnerability has since been long fixed, but as long as there are ways to jailbreak, there are vectors for malware through same backdoors.
Or it could be that sporty conversions of standard sedans don't sell as well as actual sports cars. There's nothing a sporty sedan is good for that you can't do just as well with a sports car.
Or maybe, these are different products aimed at different markets?
Funnily yes, one of the reasons why so many routers use linux derivatives is because it speeds up processing and directing the traffic. Or more specifically allows for lighter hardware to do the same job.
Export companies? Hell yes. When there was a banking crisis, export companies were SCREAMING at ECB to let euro inflate. It was utterly devastating business.

Because cow may be cheaper then milk for more then a couple of years, and they're betting on being long term milk drinkers.
The reference is that this is a flash application that existed for ages. Original flash was for early symbian, probably seven or eight years old.
And that a phone actually fits into a condom. For uses "not appropriate for apple device" (TM certain dead person).

One size fits all. Also true for shoes. Don't want to fragment them toes, do we?

Indeed, you are correct, your problem is not one that ophthalmologist could fix. You need a psychiatrist. Exomondo has the details.

You have some huge pockets. I have problems fitting 5" "shovelphones" in mine.

Yes, like holding more data.

To be more specific: "US" banking crisis, when dollar nosedived in relation to euro and yen.
Export companies? Hell yes. When there was a banking crisis, export companies were SCREAMING at ECB to let euro inflate. It was utterly devastating business.
