Remember when they used to joke that the Soviet central planned economy was so bad they were giving bread instead of feed to the cows because it was more available? Now in the US they feed cows with sugar snacks which are probably HFCS made from corn.
Actually Apple used to be more about reducing the number of features down enough so that it could be implemented by a small team and judiciously press the developers until it comes out to Steve Jobs satisfaction. They could have made the feature initially only available in North America. Instead they let users access worldwide data which is plainly horrible.
When does Apple bashing get +5? That was in the old/. like 6 years ago. Now you can't even pinpoint actual flaws in their devices without getting down modded half of the time. Heaven forbid you actually criticize their precious little blood sucking corporation. It is a cult. Worse, it is actually a cult with traction here.
After Stuxnet Iran started buying up networking equipment like crazy to make their own version of the Great Chinese Firewall. Eventually they were going to segregate all outbound communications. Considering the amount of information people trust to Google and the fact that the US Government can access the information if they ask for it (Google has little choice but to comply) there is little reason not to filter their services out completely. Plus if users are forced to use Iranian Internet services the Iranian state can then access all personal user information regardless if it is encrypted en route or not.
Helium is also used to start up rocket engines in most space launch vehicles. In those applications it is simply vented away. Nitrogen can also be used for this purpose but most rockets use helium because it has less density.
1. The versions of iOS 6 running on older devices are severely diluted. The applications are not the same and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more changes besides that.
2. It's still a much more limited amount of hardware device configurations. The Galaxy S III also has a multitude of different carrier versions. Some don't even have the same CPU on it. That is just one Android phone.
Actually the problems started because the price of bread rose to a point most people were unable to buy food to survive. This was due to a worse than usual crop compounded by wheat price manipulation by middlemen refusing to releases stocks in order for the price of the produce to rise further. The government refused to do anything about it and the masses revolted.
There is already a Muslim country with nuclear weapons and it is only a matter of time until more have them. They keep getting cheaper to manufacture. I don't blame them for wanting nuclear weapons given what happened in Iraq and Libya. Today either you have a viable deterrent or you are screwed into being a lapdog for the US.
Given Stuxnet, several mysterious pipeline explosions, assassinations, explosions at munitions depots, etc. I consider attacking banking websites pretty tame in comparison.
I can guess why they want/. and Sourceforge. Sourceforge has a database of developers they can datamine for determining experience data they can sell to 3rd parties./. is a news site which also has developers, system administrators, etc reading it where they can put job offers. Hopefully this will be unobtrusive like the job ads we used to get in the right hand sidebar of the main page.
Well the numbers on that second page seem better than I expected but it is still below the top of the line ARM offerings in term of useable hours you can get from the device. I have heard of smartphones with their chips. Namely the K800 lePhone by Lenovo but they aren't exactly something you can easily find.
Contrary to other markets the mobile devices market is basically computer architecture agnostic. Since Intel cannot or do not want to manufacture CPUs cheaper than ARM licensees plus they still have lousy performance/watt their only remaining market is something which takes advantage of the vast catalog of pre-existing software for the x86 architecture namely Windows. I have little doubts Intel will eventually succeed to build a cheaper x86 CPU with better performance/watt than ARM given their manufacturing prowess and increasingly high amounts of integration they are providing. But it may take another processor generation or two.

This is definitively not a spontaneous movement.

Why not? There are countries in the EU which pay more than that in VAT.

If you want that you just buy a Nexus device. Or you wait for the updates to come up. Or you use CyanogenMod. Or you roll your own.

Aristocrats also did not traditionally pay taxes in feudal systems.
They won WWI. Sure they had allies. So did Napoleon. The US had to buy military airplanes from the French back in WWI FYI.
The sad thing is you are actually right.

They don't provide hardware programming specs. Nor open source drivers. Intel and AMD do both.
That's pretty simple. From a rational POV if you know you are getting killed if you get caught, would you turn yourself in or fight to the death?
There are other references to video games. Some of the caves look like the underground map in Another World.
Try using iOS 5 in your shiny new iPhone 5 for sale since next Friday.
Actually there were more sophisticated anti-ship weapons in the late WWII than you seem to think namely Fritz X.
Someone there does care apparently. They use LAMP for webserving (P=PHP).

No. But the Cray has leather seats.
