Speed and stability. All the drama about new features, missing features, start menus and other preferences are all just nonsense. Just make it fast and stable.
If the biggest concern is a picture in marketing materials has been altered, people are grasping at straws for drama. After all no one in marketing alters pictures of actors, actresses, models, cars, motorcycles, musical instruments, etc etc etc (your sarcasm alarms should be going off now).
The data in the paper is related to bacteria, not viruses. Antibiotics work against bacteria, not viruses. someone needs to try to repeat the experiment and confirm the results. The paper reads more like a patent application than a scientific publication.
Per person or device. Now, take a standard household of 4-5 persons (family members plus visitors), each with a device, and you need 20Mbps down and 5Mbps up at each household.
Create a calendar showing scantily clad beautiful women reclined on cars and motorcycles writing code, and it will appear to be cool. To 12 year old boys.
Using an app to find and get into a car with someone you don't know is little more than hitch hiking. And we all know how safe THAT is. Dressing it up in false libertarianism and anti-government paranoia doesn't make it any better or safer. And the 2008 financial crisis should have taught us something about relying on the free market to keep things under control.
I see you're working on your humanitarian award... got to love when you leave your decency and morality at the door and proceed to wish pestilence on people simply for not agreeing with you.
This whole situation assumes a government having access to and data-mining your online activities is inherently more dangerous than the same behavior by large, multinational, profit driven corporations.

The ultimate conspicuous consumption challenge.
When Google absolutely, positively must data-mine you deeper! And on a Crap-book too!

Human nature being what it is.
I prefer capitalist stooges stealing my personal information, rather than commie stooges. (stolen from Dr. Strangelove)
That's a quite naive point of view.
Somebody is off their meds again.

Turn the it over to Congress? Yes, let's swap DHS for a bunch of do-nothing industry and wealthy donor shills. What could possibly go wrong?
If a Mac Pro is only "a little more money" either you're paying too much for your PCs or you have a skewed idea of what "a little more" is.
They'll all fail because there simply is no mass need to drive sales.
"None of the Big Five publishers will EVER participate ..."
FTFY
Because the word scares people? Has it been exploited in the wild? And good luck updating all the Android devices.
Most people will laugh it off as just what it is ... a publicity stunt by a bunch of attention whores.

In fact the IRS was scrutinizing the left wing organizations too. This is just trolling biased BS.

Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Almost Everything, If You Parse The Data Correctly (FTFY)
The fact that Snowden claimed it happened isn't proof.
