#12I'm russian. I've left Russia for good because of weather and politics. Now I'm laughing out loud.
All jokes aside it's interesting to observe politics and technology interplay. But I'm not too excited I have to take part in some of the events.

#18I actually think Yandex is a good alternative. Assume that all countries have similar projects like PRISM. Which one would you rather have: your country spying on you or a foreign country?
If your country is spying on you, it can use the data it gathers against you in a court, etc. If it's a foreign country, what could they possibly do?
