You know what they say about lies, damned lies, and statistics, right?
Even the Swedish authorities state that the apparently high rate is due very largely to the fact that the legal definition of what constitutes rape is extremely broad compared to most other countries, and that the figures you refer to are not a reliable basis for comparison.
I've lived in Stockholm (~25% immigrants) for most of the last decade, and it appears to me that women here are generally much less afraid to walk home alone at night than in lots of other places I've been.
Sweden certainly has its issues, including some relating to immigration, but it is in no wise anything like what is portrayed in your scaremongering blog article, which is not worth the trouble of printing out to wipe my arse with.
BTW, I lived in Australia for some years as well, and I can see that your vaunted blogger also hasn't much of a clue about Aussie politics or society, either.
I have two thoughts on this. First, Apple's business model is fundamentally different from google's, and it makes sense for apple to point out the benefits of their business model at every opportunity. Second, I suspect that Tim Cook is extraordinarily sensitive to privacy issues, and one could hypothesize that it may have to do with growing up gay in Alabama in the 60s.
I recently caved in and bought my wife a Macbook Pro.
I've been wanting for years to get her off Windows, and my chances of ever getting her on Linux are slim to none. I finally decided that, as little love as I have for Apple, I distrust Apple less than I distrust Microsoft. Once we get her data copied over from her old machine so I can nuke the drive, our home will be Windows-free*.
*(Other than the Win7 instance I very occasionally run in a VM for testing stuff related to my job.)
Thank you, Windows 10 and forced upgrades, for finally getting me off the fence!
Where I live, *all* workers have the legal right to take 4 weeks continuous vacation some time between the first day of June and the last day of August.
How many times have you visited China? How many Party members do you actually know?
For me, the answers to both questions are "many".
I am pretty sure that, in China, when the Central Committee of the CCP say "frog", hopping ensues shortly thereafter.
I am also pretty sure that the Chinese leadership are just as good as, if not better than, the plausible deniability thing as their American counterparts.
Slashdot Mirror
Humour, sense of, get one.
I don't think that word means quite what you think it does.
But I actually had to look it up to be sure, so thanks for the learning opportunity.
Make yourself a big bowl of popcorn, then Google "apk arstechnica". Or just read this.
Their site already appears to be Slashdotted.
No, never. That's a lie made up by the same horrid people who tried to tell you that Santa wasn't real.
Yelp have nothing to do with this.

It's a bit like being an atheist who keeps getting asked whether he worships God or Satan, yes.
James Blish's After Such Knowledge series.
The first volume, A Case Of Conscience, won not just one, but two Hugo awards.
I recently discovered that these are once again in print. Awesome.
But that's the point, this is a new feature that other OSs don't do as yet.
I had to disable this misfeature in my Samsung GS5 when I got it. And that was at least a year ago.
I'm sure the Russians wouldn't object to that one bit. *eyeroll*
Nothing is stopping the Russian government from providing him with travel documents, if it were so inclined.
I think somebody needs his Big Gulp and sack of chips.
Last time I was in Oz, I made friends with several kangaroos and an emu. Emus are cool.
They also have the world's best pies.
Actually, what Heinlein said was that specialisation is for insects.

When I attempted to skip the mandatory ad, I got redirected to a porn site.
So memeburn has either been pwned, or it's just not a very reputable site.
...let them eat cake?
It was no error. It was an attempt at misdirection.
I've not yet decided into which category your post falls, although given the references to Jews and Untermenschen, I'm inclined towards the latter.
That's pretty funny, considering that you just made that post utilising several technologies that depend on "quantum nonsense".
As opposed to photons of darkness? WTF?
Which Is More Likely? (A conspiracy of millions, or oil companies doing what they do?)
Follow the money.
