I'm seeing this argument repeated in several places but here is the thing, competition on android DIDN'T lower Google's %30 rate there, neither did it lower Steam's rate on PC gaming land despite all the "competition".

She joined Google in 1999 and was employee number 20, so unless you're claiming that Google was hiring people for "diversity" purposes since their inception, then your post is trollish.

The link posted made it clear that Samsung are closing their factories there because they can't compete against Chinese manufacturers and their production costs are increasing, so they are moving production to cheaper countries. What stand do you really think Samsung are making?

Adult content producers do tend to try out every new technology or media format, they don't however tend to have any actual impact on the success of said technology/format. BluRay vs HD-DVD was one data point proving that, the other is the failure of 3D TVs despite the porn industry's support for the 3D format.

Your point on battery endurance is a bit ridiculous, use your iPhone like you would a dumb phone and its battery will last a lot longer. I remember when I first got iPhone 5s I spent the first week using it only for phone calls and SMS, and it lasted 5 days on a charge.

Based on my last visit to the bookshop there are still a hell of a lot of them. I still read Edge myself.

I think you misunderstand the intent of the Jizya. Jizya (for non-muslims) and Zakat (for muslims) are merely the Islamic version of the taxation system.

In Firefox you can right click on a search text box and select 'Add a Keyword for this search' to do it. No add-ons required.

If there is throttling here it is not nationwide, neither is it covering all ISPs. VIVA for example currently averages around 15kbps on a 21mbps package. I heard that the main ISP (Batelco) also had some slowdowns related to upgrades and changes in their network. Yet my Menatelecom connection is working exactly as it was before the demonstrations. Someone I know reported that while he had slowdowns during net surfing his download speed when torrenting was still fast.

Newzbin is still alive.

Over here it is next month!
