You're missing one, the stuff you don't have but you're making them think you do.
And also I would argue that no one is doing the first thing you say. It's amazing the amount of cutting edge military development which shows up on discovery channel at present. The vast majority of secret projects and technologies are iterations of something existing. There's a big element of showing your enemies that you are technically superior and thus they shouldn't even try and oppose you.
No, in the early days the consortium was actually very picky in terms of content. The Blu-Ray Disc Association actively fought against Porn becoming the main selling point of Blu-Ray. It wasn't until it looked like the BDA was actually going to lose the war that things such as allowing computer based players, allowing free content movement etc actually started happening. This also coincided with the start of crap content. Ultimately Blue-Ray won and the industry had to change after essentially being forced to back the wrong horse.
The BDA's main drivers for adoption was bundling (PS3), and "superior" content.
The Porn industry then very quickly transitioned to online subscription services after the failure that was.
They didn't come out out no of the wood work until an actual battle happened during Desert Storm.
There's a big difference in tactics between an actual war and in peace time. In peace time you brag about your superiority. In war time you use it as a surprise.
Why would China brag about this new advanced technology, telling the world that a "quantum radar" is indeed possible?
We are not actively in any war with China other than a war of words. This isn't anything uniquely Chinese. Major US and other allied military advances are featured constantly on the likes of discovery channel. A radar that is able to detect steal planes? That featured in my electromagnetism course at university in incredible detail including the exact ranges at which it operates and the area that it covers in our country.
Keeping very detailed military secrets gives you a great edge during an active war. Bragging about your military gives you an edge in preventing someone attacking you from the onset.
It only has to be implemented once and copied. Re: Life.
Actually no it doesn't. This isn't exploiting specific software, it's exploiting the CPU to read specific registers. The exploits are specific to both timing and system configuration at runtime and you have to have an incredible amount of access to a machine to make a meaningful exploit (reads: maybe you're running a VM owned on someone else's metal, or you've already 0wned the machine).
Until viruses use it.
Translation: Everything is safe until it's not. Analysis: An incredibly dumb arguement.
Re: Javascript
See 1. There's no generic fly-by implimentation that you need to be worried about and given the ability to specifically sandbox the exploit in the browser by playing with Javascript execution this is the least likely attack vectory
Of course it does. Apple commands huge profit margins because it is the only alternative to Android. Samsung can't get near those profit margins because it has to compete with all the other manufacturers.
A cool story which has nothing to do with antitrust. Anti-trust is based on market dominance being used for unfair advantage. Apple doesn't have that dominance.
Apple doesn't have a monopoly on iOS. You don't have a monopoly on a product, you have a monopoly in a market of which Apple has neither one in Smarphones, nor in App stores. Don't missuse the word and it all becomes clear.
where each time he was making a ruling based on law
If this was as clear cut as you imply there would be no purpose in having a supreme court in the first place. The very nature of the way the laws are written leave them well and truly open to interpretation and that is precisely where personal belief does come into it.
Every older release back to the one that introduced Now? Or maybe you specifically changed the default behaviour. Given that Google Now uses a specific feature of Google Chrome called Custom Tabs which was designed specifically for this integration I'm going to congratulate you on finding the setting under "Settings > Accounts > Privacy > Open web pages in app" option which is completely non-intuitive and well hidden to most casual users.
You're clever. That doesn't mean Google's actions aren't intentionally devious. They created a specific mode in their App specifically designed to not obey Android defaults. That isn't a bug. Likewise Facebook shipping a full browser in the Facebook app isn't a bug either, and just another reason to use the 10MB Facebook lite app rather than the 280MB Facebook app with identical user facing functionality.
and we left tons of trash which are proof enough..
Huh? I can't see it from here. Your proof by way of fake photos from sources who are all in on the conspiracy are meaningless! We don't spit in the face of anything. You just need to show us actual proof not something from your fake news website like nasa.org.
Signed, your friendly neighborhood conspiracy theorist. OPEN YOUR EYES!
Ever clicked on something from the Google Now search? Every asked Google to open something for you? It doesn't obey the default browsers as determined by the OS. Better still you're given the option after the page loads, ads and all to open it in a different browser.
So let me get this straight. Google provides a free as in beer OS (some of it is OSS but not all) for mobile and strong-arms OEM's to included ALL of Google services or else no app store and THAT is bad because even though there are competing app stores they suck. While Apple doesn't even allow competing app stores
Apple isn't using a monopoly of one product to force push another to consumers. Apple also don't have even remotely the market share for this to be considered an antitrust case even if they did.
You have the choice of not buying Apple. Samsung does not have that choice when it comes to working with any other vendor.
The existence of obligations aren't a problem providing they don't lead directly to vendor lockout. My laptop has a brand new Windows 10 sticker on it, conforms to all the requirements of the Windows 10 hardware certification program, and... I run Linux on it. Not some major workaround, or jumping through hoops, I just installed Linux. There are even models available from the vendor with Linux pre-installed.
Then, there's Android which you can perfectly use without Google services and which is free to download, modify and compile.
No one cares about Android. The smartphone market isn't about the operating system, it's about the ecosystem. The monopoly here isn't about Android as much as it is about the Appstore.
Something is really messed up in your head.
There's an app for that. But it's only available if you have official Google supported Android.
Don't use Android then. Also, Google doesn't lock anyone from providing their own software.
Sounds good. What's all those alternatives that have similar kinds of market success? Tell me about all those alternative app stores that make non Google supported Android so functional since we all know its about the apps.
You may realise that these decisions have a very very serious impact on your profitability and the reason they do so is because of the market power of the dominant player. Welcome to the world of antitrust laws.
For whom and how? Apple are a small player in the Smartphone business with 20% of the market share compared to closer to 80% of Google. So they don't have a monopoly. Apple don't sell iOS to third parties and don't use their market power to contractually oblige anyone to do anything with iOS so there's no antitrust misuse.
This is not about *you*. This is about Samsung, HTC, et al and their dealings with Google. Not all monopoly / anti-trust rulings are about consumers. In fact, most of them are not, and as far as Samsung is concerned Apple bundling doesn't affect them in the slightest.
Yes it bloody does. It will return related terms and synonyms constantly. It's how it responds to natural language queries that users often throw at it.
A cage full of deranged hamsters could probably return better results using systemd.
So what you're saying is: a) either you can do a better job and I'll be reading about Anne Thwacks as a new multibillionaire in a few years, or you too a worse than a cage full of deranged hamsters using systemd?
Google gives you the results it thinks you want, not what you're asking for.
Which has brought the power of internet searches to the masses. Seriously go out and look over people's shoulders when they use the internet and bask in the glory and horror of people typing in full sentences complete with "?" at the end into Google search.

Don't be sexist. There's plenty of gay porn too.
Why? Was BR too expensive for porn or something?

...think it means...
That's kind of the crux of language. As long at it means what most people think it means then it has that meaning.
The only one confused by this use of the term appears to be you. Time to get yourself a dictionary from the 1900s.
It would allow traffic to go in 6 directions instead of 4 in a direct line.
Increasing the length of traffic light waiting by 50%?

Carrying 2 things is handier than carrying one? What next, you're going to tell me you take your wallet around with you right?
Note: Not sarcasm. I take my wallet with me when I need to use public transport or need ID. If I go shopping I don't.
