If someone wants me to migrate away from Android to their pet OS, then not having Google+ will be the kilelr feature. (Having some God-awful Ubuntoid+ instead is not it though).
And No, I will not buy into the Apple world, either)
Compared to during the time the industrial revolution created massive polution? Its probably doubled.
Compared to before that, when people lived in rural settings? not much.
When I was living in West Africa (ten years ago?) the biggest causes of death were:
Accidents caused by reckless behaviour: Driving cars with no brakes, repairing buldings with no scaffolding, handling dangerous animals/goods with inadequate protection, dangerous machinery with no training etc (25%)
Diseases cause by lack of basic hygene: drinking polluted waeter. not washing hands before meals/after toilet (or doing so with poluted water).(25%)
Bad medical treatment: wrong or inappropriate medical procedure, or drugs, expired drugs, fake drugs (20%).
Removing these, life expectancy would be better than the UK. (which is far better than the US). Interestingly, all of these are issues which are addressed most effectively by more government regulation!!!)
if anyone really cares about the data that Google collects on them, there are quite a few steps that can be taken to limit or eliminate them.
Starting with a move to a remote desert island with no electricity, food or water! Further steps may need to be taken thereafter, but if I told you, I would have to kill you!
Maybe the words "Microsoft" and Windows" killed them. People accept Windows on ther computers, cos they get no choice. Some people have actual experience of WinCE, etc, and it takes a long while to get rid of the nasty taste.
Given a choice, ios or Android are far better. Probably hard boiled pig shit would be better than another dose of WinCE5.
If you are over 40, a large size may avoid the need to wear glasses to read ebooks on it. Or even text messages. (or use the command line:-) Being able to read the screen may be more important than holding it in one hand.
However, a number of containers declared as empty, but containly truck engines or steel scrap, might make quite a difference. The crane operator knowswhen a container feels heavy, but not what it is declared to weigh.
Even so, I doubt it is the problem. This class of vesel regularly splits in two. So often, its not normally even reported in the western media. (Hint: crew not likely to be unionised westerners).
The real problem is that we no longer enforce the rule that "if a law is broken, the liability is no longer limited, but falls on the directors, jointly and severally ". This certainly used to be the case for limited companies in the UK, I don't know about the USA. I believe it went away when the concept of plc was separated from ltd, but I am not sure of that.
Unfortunately, they lose out still because of opportunity costs. You can't go out and buy a new cargo ship at Wal-Mart, well, at least, full size ones.
You seem to think there is a shortage of ship capacity.
There is a long history of these ships breaking in half and sinking. They are very cheap compared to the profits made per trip, and, as somone else pointed out, each ship is its own limited liability company, so when it sinks, the liability sinks with it. And it is registered somewhere where legal resort wont get you very far either.

The interest in porn derives mainly from it being forbidden fruit. If anyone is addicted to porn, then blame the prudes.
Cos it gets the right answer ;-}

A title that sounds like a Korean toilet cleaner probably wont work well in EMEA

And then accidentally loses it.
The way I see is if I have nothing to hide and my data the government collects is vanilla enough they are going to leave me alone
You must be new to this planet.

WinRT should never have been born.
I am intreagued by your solution, and would like to subscribe to your magazine.
That somewhat depends on the parent.
Oh, wait...

He might want to buy a bluetooth headset. Then he can read the numbers he is dialling AND hear the calls.
Choice .. No, No, not another choice. Its like some people dont want black Fords!
Not everyone is a teenager.
Lawn: off!

Some people seem to miss the obvious point that if ships did not sink, no one would pay for insurance.
This was probably not a case of "blindly". Shipping is a murky business, mostly conducted in international waters.

Emailing everything to the NSA is good?
You were kidding, right?
