Just another USG subversion campaign. If you don't bend the knee to the USG-led globalist finance system, you are targeted. I wonder what color of Soros-funded "revolution" is coming soon to Iran?
When I tried Chrome, I just didn't like it. I hated the bookmarks management. I like the customizability of the interface of Opera, so Chrome (and FF as it imitates Chrome) really chapped my butt.
I had been a sorta-Firefox user (for sites that Opera choked on) and the rest of the family was using Firefox. But then FF went spasdic with its updates and breaking addons, and I just moved everyone to Opera, mostly.
But I might take a look at Chrome again.
Just a flimsy skin on WebKit now. Starting from scratch they have a long long way to go to get to current Opera feature state.
And the new Android version is a dead shadow of its former self.
I'm now trying to get used to Firefox.
This whole incident leaves a bad taste, it appears to be open and unchecked corruption on the part of municipal governments. The kind of thing I expect in a banana republic, not America.
"America" and "banana republic" are one and the same now.
It's obvious that people feel that they don't need to be alert to their surroundings. That is madness. This crime wave is basically the result of people making themselves easy targets. I know our world may shriek "blaming the victim", but you really ought to be on guard, it's your responsibility, it's your stuff, it's your life.
They're counting on the intelligence of the American people. Whoops! As Mencken quipped, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. So T-Mobile is paddling upstream, spitting into the wind, and kicking against the goads.
"When the Flyer was finally brought back and presented to the Smithsonian in 1948, the museum and the executors of the Wright estate signed an agreement (popularly called a "contract") in which the Smithsonian promised not to say that any airplane before the Wrights' was capable of manned, powered, controlled flight.[37][note 5] This agreement was not made public."
Yes, in the run-up to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, the Atlanta Committe for the Olympic Games (ACOG) attacked a Greek restaurant called "The Olympic" which had been there forever, forcing a name change.
Or in the words of Sollozzo in The Godfather, trying to get Corleone to help him out with access to "all those judges and politicians you keep in your pockets like so many nickels and dimes."
A company when it is small and struggling loves the free market, and wants freedom and competition. When a company becomes successful and large it wants to use the state to crush the competition, because at that point it hates freedom and competition.

Trying Chrome. It's OK, as good as Firefox at least for me. I'll stick with it for a while to see if I can deal with it long term.

Even the BlinkFeed missed it, it came and went so fast.

It's a Slashdot theorem that Technology Cannot Be The Problem. You may proceed, that is all.
De Cloud, de cloud!
America is a land of fear. It is easy to paralyze us, we are already just short of paralyzed by fear all the time anyway.

Has a deal to display one of the early Wright flyers. The deal stipulates that the Smithsonian MUST present the Wright brothers as the first. Period.

Most big companies see it in their best interest to use the government to crush their competitors, all while the government gives them a free hand.
is "Follow the money." Many things become clearer then, without even a white paper.

Putin is a man who rejects Western liberalism and its evil works. Russia is still trying to recover from communism, another ruinous Western invention.
I guess we all just assumed that the hammer-throwing chick represented Apple.
...we could make Internet users smarter.

A perfect complement to the hipster all-black uniform, Herr gruppenfuehrer!
Or an overmatched defense lawyer in a patent lawsuit.
You mean, all that stuff from surveillance cameras, etc? Yeah, we're gonna need LOTS of processing power for the Total Surveillance State!

I find it amazing that people will pay money to receive ads.
Cable TV used to be ad-free.
I like to think I'm the exception.
We all do.
