Yeah, but I think they do it out of selfishness, not altruism. If Google were the best at searching, but they used pop-ups, spam, and log-ons, I'd pick a different product. Google is smart enough to understand this.
You are overpaid. In the first world, we're all overpaid. Perhaps not compared to our countrymen, but on a world scale there are millions who are smarter than us, who willing to work harder, and who are just waiting to take our jobs at half the pay.
If you have a four-sigma IQ (of 164), there are still roughly 200,000 smarter people in the world today. Most of these people know more than you of poverty, privation, and hard work, and can withstand the suffering of toil better than you. When they get access and education, expect them to eat your lunch.

Could be worse... It could be a nasal finger phone.
They knew they were doing wrong and they did it anyway. They were trying to screw me and didn't get away with it. Now it's my turn; bend over Stephen M Bennett.
The only way the US will really get motivated, is if China threatens to surpass American technology. This short flight, in a ship of copied design, decades after the US did it, will not motivate NASA or Congress (that mighty controller of the purse strings) in the least.
At times, I have caught myself with three browser windows open, each Googling for the answer a different question. How old is too old for Ridilin anyway?
Or, if you don't like the product placements, complain about them when the sales rep comes calling. I can think of several companies that I will not do business with because of their advertising practices.

I agree that sharing is an excellent value for children to learn. However, with regards to the file "sharing" subtext of this whole discussion, a better analogy might be if you were the only kid who had to do homework and the next day all the other kids got to copy your work. You might think it was funny the first day or two, but eventually, you'd probably quit bothering to do any homework at all.
Why? Among other things, it's not fair. The same way it's not fair to copy someone else's music/writing/art/work without payment or reward as an adult.
I don't know if exposure to cell phone radiation is dangerous or not, but while the pointy heads are studying the issue it's probably not a bad idea to:
1. Only use your mobile for outgoing calls and emergencies.
2. Try not to live or work in buildings containing base station antennas (I'm amazed at the prevalence of these).
3. Never use a phone in a car, not even with speakerphone or headset.

That's not a Ritz hacker, that's a Ritz Cracker!

"Kad dou hear be dow?"
And the elegantly functional design of his website could be a lesson to the designers of other *cough* busier sites.
No, that would be brussels sprouts & tobacco.
You could make pizza with the tomato sauce. Then you'd get the munchies, and fulfill the craving at the same time.
In this case "the public" will own far less than 50% of Google shares, with current owners controling the rest. RTFA and all that jazz.
...if they offer a plan with free unlimited weekend money.

Oh wait, I can find out online...
So could I just mail myself all the long boring documents I don't have room to store in my office?

Did you look at the pictures?
It looks like Jabba the Hutt attempting intercourse with Shelob the Spider.

Plus she probably got so upset by the lawsuit that she spilled hot coffee on her lap...
Hmmmm...I do sense a litigation opportunity after all.
$1,000 per spam? That's 30,466 Rubles! It's 40,100 Bahts! It's 1,150,200 Won! It's 45,710 Rupees! Hooray, I'm rich!
If an ATM cashes (er, crashes), then I think it would be called the green screen of death.
The self checkout machines at my supermarket are not Diebold, but they do run NT. And they do crash.
Astronomers are clearly a non-political bunch. Else they might turn all the FUD into FUnDing.

Oh yeah, and turn off your phone in the theater! That'll kill you faster than any of the above.
