The United States has been making "conscious efforts," one way or another, since at least the 1960's if not earlier. Unless the US has some super-special unique privilege among nations, then any nation can play in any way it pleases.
Maybe. Liberia is small potatoes, though. The bigger the ultimate target, the bigger the street cred. I seriously doubt, however, that anybody would take down an entire country of any size just for bragging rights.
Simple answer: They thought the truck might crash and they didn't want to waste real beer. With a rating of "awful" on Beer Advocate, Budweiser is fine to waste.
Good point. If they shipped, say, Guiness or Carlsberg and the truck crashed, there would be people stumbling around in a daze mumbling "The horror. The horror."
Here's my list of replacements, starting with the one you asked about.
Contacts is replaced by Playa Apps' A2Z Contacts and Synctastic
Calendar is replaced by Readdle's Calendars and Calendars5
Calculator is replaced by Creative Creek's MathU RPN Calculator (emulates an HP RPN)
Notes are stored either in KeePass Touch, Google Keep, and gTasks Pro, depending on what they're for.
Maps are replaced by Google Map
Mail is replaced by Google's Inbox(Personal) and Readdle's Spark(Work)
Videos, Music, Podcasts are replaced with VLC for iOS. I don't need iTunes to load it.
Reminders are replaced by gTasks Pro, which does tasks, reminders, location alerts etc. etc.
As far as Wallet, FaceTime, Tips, Just Friends, Watch, and News are concerned, they're in don't give a damn status.
Health might tempt me except it apparently insists on reporting everything to Apple's cloud. As a result, I wouldn't touch it with at a hundred yards with a waldo.
And Game Center is an abomination that apparently wants to push me into being "more social." Meh.
FYI, I use Marvin 3 and Marvin as my fiction readers, Hyphen for fact books/professional books/science articles.

I have MUCH better non-Apple apps for all of the above. If you don't want it and don't want to use it, it's bloatware.
To the customer, by making it plain Big Brother is watching their orgasms?
To the company, as in "OK. Delilah in Kansas City likes Echo Mode at 5.7Hz. Why don't we start offering pre-customized models which have all the user's preferences pre-programmed? For a fee, of course."
I'm hearing-challenged, to put it with political correctness. I can still hear, but I frequently miss words midst the background noise of the music and sound effects.
Every subtitling system for theaters requires you to focus your vision to within a couple of feet of your eyes to read the subtitles, and then jump back to follow the movie. I can testify that about 20 minutes of this bouncing back and forth leaves the eye muscles feeling boiled in oil.
At home, the subtitles are at the exact same focus distance as the TV screen, for some funny reason, and I can follow the story in complete comfort and read the subtitles as I do.
The theater, at least for me, has become a place I go to only when my family insists on it. I can preview whether I want to rent the DVD and follow the dialogue: at home.

Do not have to search for Nvidia technical support. Technical support knows where to find you.
The Playboy web site will have to start an astronomy section.
Hey Look! We took an entire country offline.
Maybe. Liberia is small potatoes, though. The bigger the ultimate target, the bigger the street cred. I seriously doubt, however, that anybody would take down an entire country of any size just for bragging rights.
Why do I have the feeling that this is a dry run, with bigger target(s) in mind?

Inquiring mind wants to know.
And the list of companies that practice it, or attempt to, reads like a Who's Who of tech.
Why am I not surprised?
Original: We wanted to leverage these devices as a way to knowing the user.
Translation: We wanted to have more ways to gather data we can sell to advertisers and pass along to the National Surveillance Agency.
Won't somebody think of the stockholders?!?!
So is improving on my idea. :D
Third-party ink is killing printers!

If you don't want it and don't want to use it, it's bloatware.
If you don't want it and don't want to use it and it's unremoveable, it's bloatware.
Verizon bloatware will be just as unremoveable (unless you root the phone) as Apple's bloatware.
Might have been simpler and result in less guilt over harming innocent sharks.
Music: "Brand New Key"
Oh, I blew a software giant to smithereens,
I got its Golden Key.
Wonder what other tasks a wandering mind
Might have for me.
Is this megalomania?
Am I out of my tree?
Cuz I blew a software giant to smithereens,
I got its Golden Key.
Which way is the transparency?

What part of "art form" did you not understand?
I can guarantee their wallets won't appreciate it. Apple has made price gouging into an art form.
