Wow!
I just can't believe how Apple is leading the pack! I can now use Bing!
This is a real breakthrough. It will take years for all of those other lamers to catch up.

Google is an advertising company.
More eyeballs equals more money.
Asshole is not really very specific. Actually, I think they are greedy entitled bastards.
I'm sure they are nice to you in person. Of course, that doesn't say anything about what they really think of you.
It's just that to get and keep large amounts of money requires a greedy, entitled mindset and their behaviour towards the peasants is usually focused on extracting money from them or denigrating them as lazy, etc.
Occasionally, they will undertake "charity" with a small part of their wealth. These are usually projects which stroke their ego such as the "arts" or church or some pet project. They would never give away enough of their wealth to cause them any discomfort. They always choose "deserving" recipients who share their values.
Getting rich and being rich are behaviours which are observed across all ethnic boundaries.
Probably.
Rich people aren't like you and me. They are rich because they are willing to do whatever it takes to get rich and that usually includes being an asshole. If you have a conscience, you don't take money from others just so you can have a bigger house, car, etc.
Lack of social conscience, empathy and caring for others is the way you get rich.
So, yes, you can pretty much equate being rich with being an asshole.
Sounds like the Ethiopian calendar.
12 months of 30 days plus a 13th month of 5 or 6 days (which are all holidays!).
Much less exposure to just re-route the shipping to the NSA than to have NSA people at the manufacturers warehouse opening boxes.
NSLetters are addressed to the man in charge (CEO), he can't disclose to anyone without permission (i.e. I need to have Fred patch in your backdoor).
They do threaten to send you to jail if you disclose anything about an NSL (even its existence).
I don't think anyone wants to take a chance with their life and liberty to test them and find out.
Best to just go along and cooperate with the man.
Just look at Snowden. On the run. Trapped in Russia. He disclosed the existence of warrant-less wiretapping and other dirty tricks.
Or, they could have received a National Security Letter which requires them to deny the existence of the letter and its contents.
Or... they could have received a National Security Letter.
By law, they have to deny the existence of the letter and its contents.
By law, if they have received a NSL, they have to say that they are "not aware of receiving any court orders or subpoenas from the NSA".
See, perfectly clear denial.
Sometimes you need permanent classrooms. Sometimes you need temporary classrooms.
School populations grow and decrease due to lots of factors (economy, jobs, local growth, etc.).
If there is a good forecast for a permanent (10-20 year) increase in population, you build permanent classrooms. If not, temporary classrooms are a better solution... but the point of this article is that you need to have good environmental quality temporary classrooms, not the trailer trash which is currently in use.
With your bare hands?!?
