> No other country makes you take off your shoes. No offence, but that is simply not true. At European airports one is not always, but regularly, asked to take off his shoes.

You addressed my second point but not the first nor the third. Mockery or not, it happened and still happens. Only two years ago in Cincinnati. That was technically not "punishment" but the result was the same. My main point is no

First, there are plenty of example where other animals do grasp these concepts very well. Second, as I have shown earlier humans already do "prosecute" animals for such behaviour. So why would argue that "absurd hubris"

Extending to other animals the same rights humans enjoy is not silly but logical and long overdue. And your example of prosecuting a lion is unfortunately already reality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(elephant) S

What sort of argument is that supposed to be? jevgeni made an excellent point and actually articulated his concern. Open source has absolutely nothing to do with how Google is tracking users here, and not only are there major parts in the A

It did come with advantages, no doubt, but - as so often - its market share is not necessarily because it tried to push the web further, a large share is simply because of Google's aggressive marketing. To this day Google is pushing th

That is certainly not the equivalent as it still occupies storage. Also, you could actually uninstall IE. That only uninstalled the shell, not the libraries (as there were dependencies) but it was gone in terms of the application.

The web was just slowly emerging at that point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage#/media/F... 15% vs 80% these days. And thats the "developed world", globally it was around 2%.

Eight years ago I'd agree with you, probably even five-ish, but for the past two, three years there is virtually no difference anymore and Android is usually the priority, except for some designer firms who still live in their Apple bu

Absolutely not true today and I am in that business. The number of companies which are iOS-only or even iOS-first is negligible these days. In most cases both platforms are supported, often with Android having a head start.

And yet there was competition. It is similar to today, respectively we have even less choice, we have two platforms, out of which one is mostly a lifestyle company and has a minor market share of ~20%, whereas the second is dominating the m

It had a few new concepts, mainly multi-processes, but "far superior when it came out" is a broad exaggeration. Equally, IE was far superior to Netscape when it came out ;) This is not to say Chrome is (now) the inferior browser b

Zero competition? OS/2, Linux, Apple, BeOS, etc. Stifling innovation? How? The "web space" didnt even really exist.

Slow down, "de facto world currency" and "most banks" is somewhat exaggerated. The dollar is still a very strong currency and in many areas the leader, but it is still not the world currency. Equally, banks do offer some

Still watching it but I second your sentiment. To be honest after the conferences in the past three, four years I did not have the highest expectations in the first place, but so far that was - again - amazingly underwhelming. As you said,
