    I don't blame Microsoft, as they are supposed to curate their app store and therefore could be found liable of... whatever crime it is to emulate an old system. You can still run a…

    If that's the case, I have to say that for the political views of many people, an LGBT flag is as disrespectful or dangerous to society as a swastika can be to any individual or gr…

    The point of the "Linux on the desktop" meme was that everybody would start using free, preferently GPL'd software for everything. Android is far away from that.

    Sending an MMS is very expensive and many people don't even bother to configure their mobiles to send them because they've never used them.

    I am not being sarcastic and I use it and I have used it for years. I consider myself a "hardcore greybeard", or a neckbeard, which is what you actually meant ;P I don't agree with…

    That's why I mentioned intelligence. You need proxy wars, coups, espionage, state-funded terrorism, etc etc in other countries to maintain your power. The US excels at that.
