Rapid mutation and evolution very, very rarely changes underlying biochemistry used by particular family of organisms. Doesn't even really change genetic code all that much. For evolution it doesn't matter why something works (and tracing origins means really looking at things in the area of "why?"), only how it works.
It still seems unlikely such new arrivals would rapidly displace local characteristics, homogenizing the life in a system. Probably add slighty to them; probably typically at relatively early stages of local life.
You have some extreme (in a bit literal sense of the word here) ideas about Chinese (and US, for that matter) societies...
Picking few convenient numbers for easiest target doesn't tell much, too (why won't you go with Germany? And generally, look at this graph - the source document for it / methodology includes to the fullest practical extent imports/exports of all types; this one shows the end ballance)
Though ultimetely what you're doing is a good sign, I guess; such type of slight dismissal could relate to some level of guilt...might go somewhere, eventually.
Not quite - summer and winter time are not that much different; not much outside of gradual transitions in day/night lenght happening throughout the year anyway. Plus as it is, you know pretty well when everybody should be awake, at work, eating dinner, etc.; everywhere.
Instead of remembering to check other timezones (when needed) now, you would need to remember about local schedules. I think it might be sligthly more confusing; though who knows, perhaps worth it at some some stage of world integration...
"Vast"? Chinese are quite decent in emissions per capita; even despite large part of those beeing essentially an import from places buying stuff from them (so just don't...)
Don't forget giving some wonderfull recruitment opportunities to the "bad" ones (while accidentally push main scenes of events far away, in some places of lesser people).
That was half a decade ago, nowadays most marriages don't last that long...
(but more seriously - Opera is for a long time the only major browser without a corporate grandaddy (remember AOL?), probably the only way it could work back then)
Those are percentages only of the ~20% "smartphone" category, too. S40 has probably more than all of the combined. Then there's Intel & Nokia partnership (with recently announed joint tech centre) over Meego...
Federation solutions aren't perfect (warning: NSFW, in a way, I think...well, mostly deeply disturbing)
All this makes me want to try videoconferencing using some decent projector - as long as it won't be in the field of view of the camera (fairly easy with many projectors & their mechanisms to correct image geometry when not projecting at a wall "head on"), the results should be really cool. Might even help with eye contact issue, if the camera will be somewhat "hidden" in the screen...
Where & when "communist" was ever a precise label?
And you know, ultimately it works both ways - governments are also a reflection of their society. Don't expect things to change too much after "democratization" (and I'm saying this living in place formerly behind the Iron Curtain), especially if the economy is already very much "modern."
If already having vertical taskbar, this change in Chrome could complicate benefits of Fitts's law though - one of the nice things about Chrome was how the tabbar exploited this law, when at the absolute top. But only one thing can exploit each edge of the screen so well; and with vertical taskbar, tabbar & scrollbar...
And to balance it all a bit, the consequences for perpetrators can be easily more unpleasant; assured by greater transparency, generally also things which make their 'job' easier.
because until recently corporations have not had the capacity to have such persistent and precise data about you that they could monetize... but the personal minutiae that is being commoditized by businesses
Not quite, they had it easier when they could essentially own people to a greater degree...
(Go ahead and tell me that didn't take any great amount of genius, and that someone could have figured that out by simply looking at your house, I'll wait...)
Well, it's slightly more than that - it applies to pretty much anybody. Not to mention it doesn't touch a whole lot about the habits of family
Doesn't really have to be one person - people often don't seem to have many gripes with passing at least phone numbers and emails adresses (probably physical ones, too, to some degree)

Evolutionary selections could push for something similar, yes - but don't forget the evolution doesn't care that much about low level mechanisms.

Saddening how there seems to be no reasoning with such people; and in education.
That what it was all about in the end, to stirr up some places & push there even the small bits of action getting through to us, no?
Out of sight, out of mind...
Don't forget giving some wonderfull recruitment opportunities to the "bad" ones (while accidentally push main scenes of events far away, in some places of lesser people).
It's almost a win-win for everybody, in a way...

Well, at the least we can give immortality (assuming you count those as alife in the first place) to our pathogens...
On the second thought, we're quite good at providing this for a long time.
With Skype for...TVs it even begins to look like the old scifi dream...
Might be interesting if TVs/large displays on both sides are at the ends of tables.

That would probably work at most as a safety valve for the regime.

Nah, just keeping the tradition of taking stuff from Opera; life as usual. ;)

To be fair, while many poeple think their kids and photos of them are something special...they really aren't.

It would perhaps make more sense, but "consumer" part works agains "educated."
Companies/system of governance/etc. are in large part a reflection of the populace...
