Honestly, I don't know why anybody would think that 'blogger' is a respectable title. I wouldn't be caught dead calling myself a 'blogger'.

I disagree. Each award means something to some people, and nothing to others. For example, I couldn't give a rat's ass about either of those awards. Got nothing at all to do with me one way or the other.
In fact, on my Windows XP laptop, Firefox does start faster than Chrome. Honestly. That's the reason I've recently switched to Firefox after having used Chrome for ages.

Well, for one, the high school students in question now have an excellent grasp of just how fast exponential increases really can get. You'd think that toilet paper is pretty thin, right? And folding it in half doesn't really make a noteworthy increase in thickness,
Now you have 2 sheets thickness
it's still really thin - but do it again, and you've got 8 sheets thickness
Now you should have 4 sheets thickness, not 8
, then 16, then 32, 64, 128, and so on, until you've got 2^13 sheets thickness of toilet paper, just from folding it in half, and suddenly it's not so thin. For people who've been doing advanced math most of their lives, that's not much of a realization, but for kids who are just learning about things like that, it's an eye opener.
Don't you mean Middle East? Maybe I'm being ignorant, and maybe you really were talking about ethnic Christian groups residing in China or Eastern Russia, but I've always thought that most ethnic Christians reside in the Middle East, where Christianity originated.
The problem is really one of resource allocation: every dollar you spend on medical treatments is a dollar you don't spend on education, research, public health, etc.
That's one of the problems with capitalism. Everything is measured in terms of money. How about taking the dollar out of the picture? What does the ability of a medical institution to medically assist a sick person have to do with the ability of an educational institution to provide education, or the ability of researchers to perform research? The answer is absolutely nothing.
There's nothing wrong with the touch sensor on the Nexus One, except when it comes to multi-touch. Anyway, since the OP is developing AIR and Flex apps, multi-touch and GPU performance are irrelevant, so a Nexus One would be quite sufficient, I think.
The Americans overthrew British rule for their own interests. It had nothing to do with The Greater Good. This selfish character persists until today and has a lot to do with why a lot of people hate the USA's guts. Point of fact is that as great a document the US Constitution is claimed to be, it is arguable that although it gives great protection to the citizens of the United States in important areas, it says nothing about how the United States government should treat the governments or citizens of other nations.

As opposed to the other hours of your life that you can get back... how?
A boot to the head can kill you or leave you brain damaged. Not, always, but there's the possibility.

New or not, the kid's making a fortune out of it.
According to TFA, the doorbell has an embedded 3G chip, not a SIM card.
Actually, the cool part is that the kid is making hundreds of pounds out of this.
You don't get the point of the article. The author's gripe is not that gesture based interfaces are bad, but that they are non-standard/inconsistent.
Long-press the physical "back" button on your Android device, and you're out of the application.
This is not the default behavior. In most stock ROMs on most Android devices, this is not implemented.
Ah, I see. You're still basing on FF3.6. Firefox's up to 4.0.1 now, and it's much faster and more memory efficient than the old version.

Did you try the Magic SysRq key?
...ass in the cloud.
I don't know that expression. What does it mean?
It's like needing an umbrella on a sunny day.

5. Samsungs entry into the android business is what catapulted android adoption (google visualization)
I don't see that from where I'm sitting. I googled visualization, but I don't know what you think I'm supposed to find.

LOL. Touche', sir, though you will have to admit that a typo and using the wrong word are two different things.
Sometimes it can be the same thing.

AFAICT, Incorporate Apps is not admitting to writing the rogue app.

You do realise that Taiwan (Republic of China) has a totally different government and education system from the People's Republic of China, don't you?
Amazon's Android app store is /not/ pathetic.
Considering that it does not yet serve users outside the US, then from my point of view, it is pathetic.
