does every agency and division of the military need to do this? Seems like the classic not invented here syndrome and a colossal waste of tax payer money.
Agreed, my bank's application has always required location access which is why I've never installed it (perhaps with M...), I presumed it was mostly for their locate an ABM but didn't want to read and watch the ToS to be sure. I've also uninstalled applications I was using when an update added location perms.
I think it depends on precisely what they're asking for here. To me the TLD accessed is a red herring by Google, if the EU wants the filter to apply to its citizens its not unreasonable it would apply to all of Google's domains. Though that should not mean the filter would apply to folks outside the EU accessing those domains.
This is also the pot calling the kettle black. The USA frequently attempts to govern outside its national boundaries, see the recent FIFA investigation as a recent example.
I think the author is wearing blinders based on his previous positions. As someone who has spent the past 4-years 60-70% writing JS (and irregularly since the 90s) most of what he considers important is almost never used.
Both Microsoft & Google have other far bigger projects that consume most of their resources. How many developers can you have actively working on a browser? Even 100 seems high.
I take it you haven't worked on a large scale software project? Abstraction exists for code re-use and to make parts pluggable, both of which are critical in reliable enterprise software.
The same amount of weight is still being placed on the road causing wear, perhaps it affects the 4th power rule the other posters are mentioning. That said, dualies in particular are much more likely to be towing or hauling increasing their weight even further.
The point is that the gas tax is a better approximation than charging every vehicle the same amount. (Barring electric and hybrids which are still a minority)

Google pulled out of China years ago. How is a lawful request co-operating?
None of the tech companies have been shown to be co-operating voluntarily with government spies. Telecoms have but not Google / Apple / Microsoft.

Agreed, so many reasons why this wouldn't work:

The Skype installer and updater bundles software that sets and attempts to maintain homepages and default search to Bing.

See the prices Bell Media charges for internet, telephone and satellite.
When will the Pentium i7 be released? ;)
I seem to recall that Intel had been selling excess fab space to Altera (along with a few other non-competitors) a few years back.

Why do you trust your VPN provider more than your ISP? Or your hosting provider if you're running your own VPN.
Is this referring to the new thing, or the thing they did with tiles a while ago? I have DNT set and saw the previous sponsored tile crap.
How is taking our browser history to serve ads respecting our privacy?
A search suggests they made $311 million in 2012, how much money is actually required to run Mozilla?

I was actually referring to non-commercial vehicles, e.g. pickup trucks :)
Lower mpg vehicles often tend to be heavier (e.g. trucks & SUVs) which one assumes causes more wear than a lighter vehicle.
I take it the HotHardware people have mod points today
Do we really need to see an article from MojoKid every day to drive traffic to his site?
Is security really that big of a deal? Isn't the intent to run it on a private network to crunch numbers behind the scene?
We don't ask about the susceptibility of safety deposit boxes to crowbars and dynamite, they're inside a vault.
If you read the article you would know that those 4 are not the only accidents involving the vehicles as Google does not publicly report them.
The autonomous may not have been at fault, but one wonders whether some of the accidents would have been avoidable by a fleshy driver.
Good ole Reductio ad Hilterum....
