The AppleTV has become like a social device for me. When I have people around, that's the way we see photo albums, youtube videos and the ocassional TV show/movie. Aside from that, it's pretty neat to use airplay for music plus an iphone to control the whole setup.
You are full of crap. If you used an Apple trackpad on a daily basis you will see how moronic your statement is. Hell, I have bought Mac laptops mainly because of the whole trackpad experience and gestures.

Well, nobody forces you to sign those agreements. But if you want to get into the game, better play by the rules. So much for all the talk of free trade in the US.
Nobody questions that what he did is illegal. What everybody is saying that you fail to understand is that you should not get threatened with 50 years of jail time for something that is pretty much a misdemeanor.
Plus I figure that all the government have to do is declare Anonymous a terrorist group, and lo and behold, end of discussion. I really hope they release info to completely derail the political career of the attorneys involved.
Well, in that case you can use QQ from China. I think the US is more hostile to China than China is hostile to the US though. In any case, I would not think they will agree to subpoenas or stuff like that.
The French actually have a love-hate relationship with the US. Even when Disney was trying to setup shop around Paris, there was an awful lot of people that complained about American influence in French culture.
You will have to provide sources for what you are saying here. Phrases like "It's widely believed to be the Chinese government." doesn't help your argument, who are the people that widely believes that? Posting as an AC doesn't help either. The reason Huawei sells so cheap is no secret. If you have ever been to China, especially Shenzhen, you would realize that Huawei is just one of those clone makers with cheap knock-offs, only a tad better. In short, there is no Bolshoi ballet without the thousands of ballet companies behind it. I don't see the clone makers going out of business anytime soon, and neither Huawei or ZTE are alone there. Xiaomi is the next evolution of these companies, so it won't matter if they fail or not because electronics ARE manufactured in China. That is the reason they can sell so cheap, and no, they are not losing money. Their net profit (not revenue) in 2012 alone was up 33%, so again, I would need to see some numbers and sources backing your wild claims.
It's more about people boycotting Japanese products, than the government blocking Japanese imports. Japan and China have a troublesome history, especially after World War 2, so any sovereignty issues will flare up in the same fashion.
The problem with your rationale is that the vast majority of the world is neither the US or Western Europe. And it's precisely there where the Chinese excel. I suggest you read http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Columns/2011/09/23/Europe-The-Strings-Attached-to-a-Chinese-Bailout.aspx#page1 to get a better picture of what's coming. Some countries are investing their foreign reserves in yuans, the Chinese offering money to Europe with some conditions (kind of like the World Bank, IMF), and the truth is, as we all know whoever has the most money will likely end up ruling.
And all of this happens while we over here complain that Chinese workers are slaves, and when you ask such "slaves" about their condition they just say that people in the West are just lazy and have too many holidays.
Exactly my thoughts. Plus they get to look good with the US while bashing China at the same time, which they don't like. Indian government is very corrupt, so in a way this also allows them to channel funds to their pockets in an easier way.
Jesus, listen to yourself. You sound like Joseph McCarthy. But after seeing so many messages just like yours, it's not hard to see why wars start. Because instead of cultural understanding and mutual trust all you feed is your fears with baseless accusations, and then wonder several years laters why the missiles start flying. Sigh. World War 3 here we come.
What PLA front are you talking about? Just because some US Congressman said that since the president of the company served in the PLA, therefore the company MUST be a PLA front do you actually believe it? It's like saying that any person that served in any military is just a tool for the rest of his life.
Why don't you educate a bit more about the issue before repeating words like a parrot. You can start with reputable sources like http://www.economist.com/node/18771640
If you think Kingsoft is a tool, think again. That company is owned by Lei Jun, which is like China's Steve Jobs. That guy is creating a complete hardware/software solution not unlike the iPhone, by heavily modifying Android. They are offering their new cell phones at a very competitive price in continental China and it's been selling like hot cakes.
In this case, either China Mobile provides the store or they include a third party since Google Play does not work in China. I would actually feel safer to use something from China Mobile given they are the largest carrier, but this incident proves that if you are in China, you are better off using a Windows Phone or an iPhone, even if they are outrageously expensive over there.
Well, it's not like you have a choice. Google Play does not work in China, as well as usual stuff you would expect to work like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Drive and even Gmail. So you have alternative stores that provide apps, but you also have mobile antivirus software in China which is what most sensible people would use.
Then again, with China Mobile alone we are talking about 670 million users compared to 100 million users that AT&T has. It is quite impressive that there aren't any more infections.
I agree with parent post, this article is bs. Venezuela and Mexico have become one of the most violent countries in the hemisphere, and this is after switching to unleaded gasoline since the early 90s. Violence has a lot more to do with other stuff like drugs, lack of infrastructure and services in towns, unemployment, etc. Oh and dare I say the most evident of all? Lack of good law enforcement, from the corrupt and inept policeman to the corrupt and bureaucratic judiciary.
And I have accounts on both private and state banks. Private banks are really good with online banking, ATMs, while state banks are better when you actually have to purchase a car, a house. Kind of like an advanced credit union if you will.
But the government has failed miserably when it comes to crime and even keeping a good national electrical service in an oil exporting country. So go figure.

Yup, Americans are always practical and straight to the point. Very low need for bullshit, committees and endless talk.

I agree, they are doing the same thing that Microsoft did with Internet Explorer. I might be part of those 300 million yet I never use Google+.

It's only fair that they get the same treatment. After all what options did Aaron have?

"That's an illegal violation of a treaty."
I think violation implies something illegal by itself.

Somebody said on this site that when people and goods stop crossing borders is when tanks and soldiers start to march in.

Explain to me why a game like Civilization needs to have that crap bundled in the first place? Even with a 24/7 service, it still sucks.
Yup, and after seeing what's going on in Spain, damn proud about it too even if I'm not a communist.
We had the same issue they are having with banks and you can read how it was solved here without the population having to pay for it:
