Ruby does have support for callcc, which most lisps, specially the fast ones like Common Lisp, don't, since it is a pain to implement a fast one without implications in your whole language. Can't comment on smalltalk, since I neve

Google doesn't have a monopoly in instant messaging. Far from it, they are lagging behind Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. What good is Google doing for the world having an open product that almost nobody uses?

What does it cost you to have a Google+ account, if you only use it for reviewing apps, and things like that? You don't have to use the stream. And if you ever want to read reviews of an app written by your friends instead of complete stran

Just nitpicking, but Eric Schmidt is not the CEO of Google anymore. He stepped down on 2011, and was replaced by Larry Page. He is the Executive Chairman of Google though.

There is no Google Drive linux client yet =/. What about the others? I use Dropbox on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and I have even used it on a personal server. I have not seen anything that can replace it.

There have been significant products shipped using Lisp. For instance, the original Reddit, ITA, Viaweb (the startup Paul Graham sold to Yahoo), Hacker News itself. But it's true, many Lisps suffer the problem of fragmentation.

Kim Kardashian is not really that famous globally, I only know who she is because of the internet. My parents and all my friends have no idea who she is. Assange on the other hand has made the newspaper here many times.

This goes agaisnt the spirit of capitalism, and will only result in more monopolies and a worse free market. Imagine if there was a similar law when Herbert Henry Dow fought the german bromine cartel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_He
