Sweden is one of few countries that reach the United Nations goal stating that countries should give one percent of their GNP as foreign aid. According to the reports I could find it is currently the largest giver of foreign aid in the worl

The way Chrome handles a large number of open tabs is one of the reasons I don't use it. In fact, out of all the things that could possibly bother me about Firefox, the interface isn't one.

What I'm interested in is how the default setting for Gatekeeper in Mountain Lion affects this. Assuming it hasn't been signed (which would allow a quick revoke by Apple), Gatekeeper should keep it out of the system, yes?
