We live in one of eight planets of a solar system. We have not yet visited any of these, but merely our moon. We have not even significantly probed any of them. And you say that there is no more groundbreaking science to be made?
I am a Mexican freshman at Yale University, and I will major in computer science. I know that I will be tied to the United States for probably the next few decades of my life. There is no way that I will find a better job in Mexico after graduating. Chances are that if I do find a computer science "related" job, it will be as a web developer for some website building company; not precisely what one would expect after an ivy league education.
The University is paying most of my tuition, and visas were never a problem; and so I owe this country a lot. But have no doubt, if I ever get the chance of creating jobs in my own country I won't think about it twice. There are more important things than profits.
I live in Mexico and things don't always work that way. High end phones do seem to have a very large portion of the market, such as iPhones and flagship phones by other companies. Nevertheless low-end smartphones are also very popular. Blackberry (particularly Blackberry Curve, their cheapest model) seems to have a huge portion of the market, at least in my city (Monterrey, one of the three major cities in Mexico). Similarly, the Galaxy Ace has become extremely popular. TV is swarmed by ads of many smartphones, ranging from low-end to high-end. And even dumb-phones are still somewhat common. Our culture is obsessed with cellphones.

The results of this research were obvious. Believing in god is necessary to be cured from the mental disorder commonly known as religion.
Google living up to its motto?
Make a terminator Raven, and teach it to say nevermore. Put it in some Poe fan's house.
News and science channels never waste a second when it comes to predicting doomsday.
If they lose, they prove a point: copyright laws are only in favor of a few. If they win, they expand their list of successful trolling.

Yes, this is a strategic move to sue all stores located in rounded corners.

A friend of mine used his finger to use the touchscreen.
