  • Safari has 1B users around the world, still lags far behind Chrome's market share

    So? I don't care. In my opinion, anything that originates inside the Chocolate Factory should be regarded as malware.
    That's why I block as much of Google at my firewall as I can.

  • Bizarre bill proposed to prevent Chinese currency 'spying' on US

    As I see this, this is them wanting to be 'seen to be doing something' rather than just voting NO to everything or trying to impeach the POTUS.
    All this when there are important things to be debated and laws passed but no... they want to spend time on things like this. This reeks of 'diversion'.

    Perhaps they should add the Russian Rouble to the list of prohibited currencies but they won't.

    The imperialists will have their vengeance on those uppity colonies and their more dynamic and innovative industries.
    Errrrrr???
    The UK (as in the former imperial owners of the colonies) is no longer part of the EU. 
    Have you never heard of BREXIT? We voted (wrongly IMHO) to leave in June 2016.

    (yes... it's SARCASM.  Sarcasm from your friendly neighborhood french citizen)

    I'm writing this reply from the bar of a very nice hotel in the department of Morbihan. 
    What the good people on the other side of the Pond need to understand is that "La Belle France" will do whatever is in the best interests of France and to hell what the EU and especially the jerks in Brussels might want them to do.

    If they don't like an EU-wide law then they'll ignore it. They have as the cops might say, 'form' in that matter.
    For example, If the French does not want Hormone laden USDA beef then you might as well feed it to the fishes on the way across the Atlantic. There is no way that they'll let their people eat inferior quality food to what they can produce themselves.
    The French can be the most stubborn nation on earth.

    As for OTAN/NATO... if Drumpf or DeathSantis gets elected in 2024, there will be a move by the US to leave NATO. Well, I say, good riddance and go and stew in your own tears. Europe is more together militarily than ever thanks to Putin.

  • Elon Musk says Apple's 30% commission rate is 'definitely not ok'

    Is Elon about to announce that he's running for congress? 
    His words sound like those of a politician - lots of drivel.

    Either that or not content with about to **** twitter he wants to do the same to Apple.
    And to think that I almost bought a Model S in 2018. Now... I will never ever buy anything made by a company that he controls.
