Debt isn't that bad for a state. A state isn't a company and has to make a profit. It's there to provide infrastructure, stability, and security. As long a state can afford to pay the interest rates, how high the debt is matt

Flat tax benefits the top incomes more than the bottom ones. But we now know for certain that trickle down just doesn't work and that increasing income for the poorest benefits the economy the most. http://www.theguardian.co

Magazines and newspapers have been disguising advertisements as articles for as longs as they have existed. Why is this one restaurant, album, book reviewed and not the other? How are the list of cool and hot fashion articles curated?

This is a sad excuse for a review. Most of it is downloading it, installing it and showing a couple of screenshots wile raving madly about how great it is. This doesn't even try to use the suite seriously.

Screen, keyboard and touchpad are super important. It's what you use most in a laptop after all. Lenovo offers different screens for the same models. Be careful to pick the better one.

For running Linux on laptops it's usually best to get last year's model. Then the software support will be there. I had to compile my own kernels for over a year, before Ubuntu supported my hardware out of the box.

It usually takes weeks or months for reactions to bug reports. I have three open bugs (one for Xcode, one for iOS, one for OS X). The iOS bug is a regression introduced in the beta and reported in August. It contains screen shots and sample
