Programs like Foxit Reader and Adobe try to install toolbars, put shortcuts where you don't want them and links to third party web sites on your desktop, etc. Each time you run the update you have to manually uncheck all those options which are checked by default.
Another problem is that the programs that do update themselves do so by each running their check on Windows startup or own service ALL THE TIME.
A far better solution would be for Windows update to allow other programs to register for update checks that can then be handled by a single service.

Actually he could eat a quagga. We've got a few of them wandering around in the mountain reserve in Cape Town. A few years ago DNA analysis showed that they were a variety of zebra rather than a new species, and they were resurrected by selective breeding thanks to The Quagga Project
Surely a heat-exchanger and thermal storage could be used to make it more efficient:
Heat generated in compressing the air could later be used to heat the air (increasing the pressure) just before releasing it into the turbine.
"Cold" generated as the air expands in the turbine could be used later to cool air before compression to make it more dense.
What does OpenOffice offer the average user that Google Docs is lacking? Styles, templates, find across multiple sheets (in Calc), charting,... The list goes on.
Google docs if great for simple documents and where formatting is unimportant, but you need to be aware of the limitations.
Lala & Amazon DRM-free downloads are restricted to the United States, and iTunes is limited to only certain countries. I'd love to buy MP3's, but since I'm not in one of those countries there is no legal option to do so.
Where are mod points when I need them?
South Africa has a major crime problem. The cost for physical security of their staff and facilities will probably be more than that of all of their other expenses combined. Whilst security in Kenya is an issue, it is not nearly as bad as South Africa. (You don't have to worry about the number of times your female staff are raped. In South Africa, an onsite rape clinic is cost effective, because each of your female employees will be raped at least once a year. And not necessarily by non-employees.) There are 3 kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics. You're not supposed to use them all at the same time.
Yes, crime is unacceptable in South Africa & needs serious attention, but it's not as bad as you make out and unlikely that it would be a dealbreaker for Google.
South African IT consists of MCEs who can barely play Minefield. They don't have a clue as to what LAMP is, much less be able to set it up. Google (Kenya) can train people that haven't been brain damaged by the MCE, thereby jump-starting a pan-African IT revolution. Get real. South Africa has good all-round IT talent. There would certainly more than enough good IT people clamouring to work in a Google office. I expect the real reasons are more likely to be the location and the surrounding population within easy reach of cellphones & wi-fi access.
Of course, if it goes too far with the regulation and ordering, then you're right back where you started: which is what you went online to get away from.

So what's Google got against Whales in Australia then?

The smart/educated/connected get richer, while the dim/uneducated/unconnected get poorer.
If you took the wealth from the world's richest and gave it to the poorest, how much different would things be in 10 years time?
