We're uncultured.
We're "uncultured" to ignorant, pretentious, asses like the author of this post.
Ignorant in what sense?

#82Fascinating data presented there, but sometimes it's hard to see through the sarcasm to the point he's trying to make.

#83I have never heard of the 360 Secure Browser before, but I have found the link for it http://se.360.cn/. I was going to download it to see what it was all about.

#84Also worth reading is the link to how the 'Qihoo 360 Safe Browser' won the Internet in China:

Basically, exploiting people's ignorance of the Internet, security, and, according to them, the Chinese people's deference to authority.

#85Why is nobody using the ISO format for dates? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 yyyy-mm-dd? Another benefit is that it sorts correctly in the file explorers (I used to name my photo folders like that...). Coming from a country where we typically do dd/mm I can never remember what the English standard is. I've taken to always writing the name of the month to be sure. Also, can the huge lead of the iPhone still be…
The iPhone were I currently live (Northern Ireland) seems to still have a massive grip on the market. I'm still in grammar school (high-school), and I can safely say that aside from a few Android phones and a lone Windows phone, out of ~150 people every single person in my year (17-18 y.o.) has an iPhone.

#86> 6. Country code top level domains give context And are a pain to handle. .com - US$ 10 ~ - Many registar to choose (remember GoDaddy). .xx - US$ 40 ~ - Usually only one registar available, if you don't like it you're screwed - Usually the most hideous admin interface, sometimes only functional in IE
Any particular ccTLDs you are referring to? None of these points align with my (European) experience.

September the Tenth, or Tenth of September. Both read well, and when we use shorthand we use a "/" in place of the/of. It makes more sense to order consistently by unit. So day month > day < year seems a bit silly.
I agree it's a silly ordering. What dialect of English do you speak? > September the Tenth Even this sounds a little funny to my ears. In American English people say almost exclusively "September Tenth" in that order without any prepositions.
> In American English people say almost exclusively
As an Australian living in North America for seven years, my ears still daily pickup when the American dialect leaves out words.
Examples that come to mind: "Two hundred three", "Write me", "September tenth"

Possibly regional, but I hear people say 10th of September quite often on the US West Coast. I would guess it has to do with the way we talk about the date... days in the future seem to follow the mm dd format while talking about the current date seems to follow dd of mm.
