no reason for hype

even if it was developed by Google. BTW, Android wasn't developed by Google, it was just bought by them, plain and simple. Clarifying it for ya: Google TV was, is and will be a failure, end of a hroad.

amounted to "just' $853m

and this is called bad?

* HTC before Gnusmas in smartphones list

* no mention of Amazon in online retailers list

* HP and Dell before Sony? OK, but Apple Computers was built after Sony after all

Many of the animals believed him. Their lives now, they reasoned, were hungry and laborious;

Google, just pull your finger out of your arse and start paying royalties.

But no, looks like stealing is Google's way of life forever... Here they lie about MIcrosoft preventing Americans from something, but how about paying taxes in Your Own Country for the Benefit of the said Americans?

"controversial" decision

COBOL outsourcing

There are outsourced COBOL jobs, but COBOL programmers in e.g. Russia are still mostly men after 45 (think vodka, cirrhosis, heart problems, strokes, road accidents etc), so the skills shortage is inevitable...

Articles like that should always provide step-by-step instructions about how to turn off the CA's certs. For example:

in Mac OSX Mountain Lion: Launchpad->Other->Keychain Access->Keychains->System Roots:

* Sonera Class1 CA -> Trust -> Never Trust

* Sonera Class2 CA -> Trust -> Never Trust

// Hope I've found all TeliaSonera's certs. Please note that it's called Sonera in OSX keychain, not TeliaSonera. And it's from Finland (didn't see this mentioned in the article too).

Chinese equipment

In Russia they have a plant manufacturing SPARC-like CPUs for use in military and space equipment, so everything is possible for The Mightiest State Of All -- The Holiest US of fscking A.

The mentioned "Stingray" system still needs to connect to GSM/CDMA operators' backbones in one way or another, so this case should blame operators too, not FBI only.

P.S. In Chechnya they used to kill federal agents first, BTW

iPhones in Ukraine

As I've been told, until 2013 there were _no official sales_ of iPhones in Ukraine at all (only gray market - iPhones smuggled in from UK and Russia), but there are official iPads, iPods etc nevertheless. It's impossible to find an iPhone officially designated to be sold in Ukraine (with EU style charger at least), so actual official sales must be exactly zero.

At the same time, 5 out of 10 smartphone owners in Kiev own an iPhone, and from my 100+ acquaintances I know only one person to have a /Lumia/.

often

"is often no more dangerous" - how often is their Australian often then?
