It is hard to tell what you mean by "making an exit", but if it means that the US were to reduce its military spending to a tenth of its current amount for the foreseeable future - yes, I don't think it would hurt the US very

"Saying that the US has no threats is forgetting about the 195 other countries in the world who are aspiring to be as much powerful as possible." I believe that this is exactly the way of thinking that is being criticized in the a

Jolla ( https://jolla.com ) was founded by people involved in MeeGo development. While their phone got a lukewarm response, I've heard many good things about their upcoming tablet and have ordered one. As you used MeeGo, how

I am Swedish and my impression is that the avability of benefits is not the cause of the unemployment. Instead, there appears to be very few jobs left to go around for those who can not or choose not to go through a higher education. Many i

Certainly not everywhere. In many nations people scoff at their local brands in favor of international ones, and people tend to buy what is popular and offers more features, regardless of where the company is based.

I can already imagine intense debates about whether to outlaw human-driven cars in a (perhaps not so) distant future.

In my apartment complex (built recently in Sweden) there is a shared garage located below the building. It is a great way to get cars off the streets and certainly a feasible location for chargers. In fact, I believe there are some there al

YouTube holds a lot of unique content, documenting current times and events as they were happening. Given YouTubes relatively short existence, this is not obvious to everyone yet, but given just ten more years it will already start to provi

Unless you live in a society where hunting for food is essential to ensure your own survival, I believe a lot of people are prepared to disagree with you.

Not all things created have to be useful. Some things can be fun. While we humans may not be the most efficient beings imaginable, we do excel in creativity ;)

There is a great difference between spying on individual targets and capturing data from millions of people who have done no harm. The latter practice is what these agencies have been have heavily criticized for.

It should be noted that your source focuses on revenue, and not the amount of ad-supported/non-ad supported apps in the App Store which was the original question.

Not most of them, in my experience. Most seem to rely on the initial purchase price only, and many of those that used to have ads have switched to in-app purchases. While I could not tell you for sure why this is, several statistics indicat

Indeed, by "current" I had the last fifty years in mind. It seemed appropriate at the time of writing given that we speak of major changes to society, but perhaps there is a better word to describe this particular period of time.

"...bat-shit crazy with (islamic) blasphemy laws, insane migration and allowing Jihadis into the government" This says a lot about why you dislike the immigration-friendly Sweden of today. I have no desire to engage in a debate wi
