Become a poisonous drug. Need to add cobra or rattlesnake to their logo.

Now that second biggest (population-wise) country joined the government-backed thievery, what do you expect from farma/technological and other companies? How they suppose to recuperate their investments? Why burn at work if well-organized group of corrupt officials can steal your invention - and enjoy the fame of guardians of their nations? It is interesting to note, that countries encountering backlash over the corruption are first to go for this tricks. Purely populist move - instead of fighting hanger, water shortage, corruption - lets steal. Oh, the noble cause... Like studying cold water survival or high altitude impact in prison camps - that was the noble cause too, wasn't it? It did save some lives, you know. How about creating environment where 1.2 billion people can produce few hundred scientists that can develop good drugs? Or finding a workable way to distribute wealth accumulated by few (oh, I forgot, India is not a capitalist country, there are no people there loaded with gold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_list_of_Indian_billionaires) to pay for the job others' did? This is a sure way to encourage reckless societies.

Did you actually read the KM books (Kapital, for example) or you just retweeting excerpts?

The only reason St. Steve moved production overseas is because slavery was abolished in the US. Not that others much better - but this company suppose to be a symbol of innovation and progress. The example with 8000 people being rushed to the assembly line to work 12 hours is just disgusting.
I guess if Apple executives find it unreasonable to work on unemployment porblem in a country which made Apple possible - they should move to place they do care about (iPhone with the golden star instead of a rotten apple on the back - I would like to see this one).

Or, rather Apple is not trying to build the system which will require less streneous work condition. All this audit supply garbage is just a legal protection - face it, it is just another (and being successful - most errogant) ruthless corporation.

You can manage to make 10 m/g on a hybrid car, if you wish to.
I have a Prius. In flat city traffic (Florida) it was consistently making 45 m/g (my previous manual transmission car would make 23-24). I am not talking dashboard numbers - I did cehck it few times by counting miles and checking gas station meters. Once in a hilly city winter time (tough ones - SF, Seattle) - it drops to 33-35. Still pretty good - I have children and dogs, so don't compare it to 2 seat + bench cars - I know they can sip even less, but I think Toyota and others came up with the descent technology which really makes some difference, so it is up to us to use it smart. Author's claims are complere BS, and I think he jsut wnated to get some attention. One can use Internet to learn, or spread a revolt, or watch pRon, or play WoW - it is all up to user. Would I like tax on gas? I guess yes, if I knew all money goes to make our life cleaner, and not to fund another war.

I know how much I use and limiting as much as possible

Paper - means trees, or if recycled paper is used, tracks to deliver, and rest that you can imagine. Pens - chemicals. And then to save notes - you'll scan or retype it?

Go to your local chess club - who would you find there? Yep, asians and some white folks are 99%. Go to your local youth orchestra - ok, now you talking "only" 90% (no, not school bands, sorry). Spelling bee? Mathcount? Chess set will cost you $20. In most orchestras you'll get support if family is really poor. It all starts with parents.

Why anyone would expect that free market (or even regulated one) will have a need for the education of his/her choice?? It's like statement form one of the occupants - "I have a degree and fluently speak French and Mandarin - why there is no work for me?" Hey, there are >200 million native speakers of French and >1 billion of Mandarian, big part of them speak English. YES - there is no any level job for people who partied and traveled for their excitement for 4 years. Even if you work hard on your topic of choice - why it should be an economical reason for the job?? But, of course - one can blame government. Or occupy something.

Looks like engineers (at least those with insufficient education:) having a tendency to fix stuff they are not familiar with. So, they would assume they know what is wrong and look for efficient way to fix it.

So, English merchants-sailors invent port, madeira, sherry, made them first'class drinks and now their descendants bow to bunch of Brussels bureaucrats? Shame on Aussie's government. Just waiting for Russians to nuke everyone trying to put Vodka on their bottles (Poles, you are first in line!:) And for those who want to drink exactly what they read - it is much more sh*tty port, sherry, chablis, and, lately, cognac originated in "designated" places then in Australia. Those "protecting" are degenerated descendants of once great producers that trying to save money streams after loosing their skills. Moreover - it is already questionable whether they make the wines corresponding to their names. With temperature ever rising you cant get grapes not the same condition as it was 100/200/300 years ago when name got established. Who knows, in 20 years welsh or norvegian Cab/Merlo can be better for good claret that tiny grapes from the Garonne desert I like the idea on noport, nochablis, nof!@#gparmigiano. BTW - AUPorto would work even better:) Winemakers should care people buying their wine, not the name. No one would consider chianti to be a good wine only because it has that word on the bottle, Italians let the name to go down the drain with no other nation interference.

Great logic follow it and BP should never tell/show us oil leak - who is qualified to review deep water drilling but those who drill? why "experts" should judge whether we should torture people? let's Securitate Shtazi and CIA peer review their practice.

So, this line actaully works? Social piramid got scared by (loosly coupled) social network.
