I guarantee Microsoft haters are a vanishingly small percentage of the overall market. There's just not that level of animosity outside of nerd circles, and even then, it's greatly diminished from the days of yore.
Who says the wealth belongs to the country? That certainly isn't the case in my country, nor do I want it to be, despite the fact that I'm not in the top 2%.
A simple, logical progression. What could go wrong? There's no way European leaders would ever go power-mad and ram the ship of state into the rocks, you're too sophisticated for that.
Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe it's coming. It will probably even result in some benefit, initially. It just makes me shake my head when the historical lesson that massive centralization of power ALWAYS results in hardship is ignored.
At least take the lessons of the US to heart - export as much of that hardship as possible.
That's a brilliant plan right up until you run out of perfect people, but please, go ahead stating it like it's the obvious answer instead of the problem itself. After all, if we just trust that the people in government will do the right thing, it should work, so lets just give them the power.

It's easy to have a phone last days when it's basically unusable and hence unused.

What are you, some kind of scientist? Stop telling those lies, you're getting me pissed.
But now they do it with chemicals, which is a scary word. I don't want any chemicals in my body.

Was that meant to be insulting? I can't determine.
You'd be amazed how many people get my political leanings incorrect. You, for instance.
So? The right to be entertained as you wish is not remotely similar to the right to express yourself. I'm not even sure how it can be an actual right.
Aren't you onboard with the greater good, citizen?
Yeah, centralize political power. That always works so well.
In the long term, we all die. How many people have lived longer, fuller lives because of nuclear power? That's the balance.

Yeah, lets give more money to the government to stop the government from foolishly spending too much money on wasteful things! It's sheer genius.
Not to be rude or anything, Mr. way-it-was-meant-to-be, but fuck you and your hubris.
I mean that's kinda... nothing. Are you really that excited over something so stupid?
You could get more people putting goatse stickers on bus stops in busy sections of town.
It can also be interpreted as "When people learn how repugnant Israel actually is, they shun them."
What do you mean a physical task? That's a bizarre sort of restriction.
So explain why I have to shut off my non-wi-fi-capable ebook reader during take-off and landing?
So that you're not fucking with what can very easily become a deadly projectile during the most dangerous parts of the flight.
What fascism? Not eliminating copyright because a bunch of kids want free movies?
Sony admits to a massive strategic blunder? Nintendo retreats from their "casual=king" position?
Did Microsoft just "win" this generation?
You know, the government isn't supposed to control you. That acquiescence is your own fault, not Diebold's.
You don't get to ask for a nanny then get pissed when they run your life.
Yeah who do they think they are, not giving you everything you want for free?
"They owe us" is practically the Slashdot motto. And Reddit. And a bunch of other places.
The main thing I've learned in all these years is that no one feels entitled to a comfortable life at the expense of others like a group of nerds.
I don't know why they are holding scientists liable in this case. Everyone knows everything is the fault of the wealthy, so let's blame them.
What does that even mean?
