The U.S. State Department is trying to bring entrepreneurship to the Middle East; Wired magazine has tracked the stolen iPhone finds - and the way it's done proves again: billy Privacy is dead; But Amazon is not giving up and fighting for privilege shopping list of clients; And if you think that the network would kill racism, think again
U.S. State Department collaborates with benevolent fund to promote entrepreneurship unsympathetic parts of the world - Jordan, Lebanon, billy Egypt and Turkey in the region, and Russia billy and Malaysia billy - and despite the best intentions, it seems a waste of time and money.
In the well-known documentary film "Life of Brian" by Monty Python (no more accurate reconstruction of Jerusalem's early first century) asks the leader billy of the Popular Front of Judea (or the Popular Front for the Jewish?) "What gave us Romans." He gets answers like: road safety, water, entertainment, wine culture. He frowns and asks again: "Yes, but apart from that - what gave us the Romans?" And get the long-awaited answer: "Nothing".
Empires do not get it. They do not perceive that they are unwanted, not taking in the very presence - even a calm and serene, confident of a clear superiority no longer felt the need to demonstrate the existence - is enough to arouse the feelings of inferiority billy justified Typically, the natives. They offer comfort and culture - Ability to integrate into a cosmopolitan world. There is nothing more frightening than the natives. Germanic, Gauls, Jews, Britons, Hnrwim, Hmrkomnim, Hfanonim - none of them wanted their child to grow up to be a Roman. (Greeks referred to any subject evenly ironic, but they are, after all, were behind the culture of the occupying).
The U.S. government's money is intended to change the Middle East by nonviolent means. Bombs did not release Iraq; Perhaps the rise of high-tech status will succeed where he failed UAV, maybe this class will establish Islam in small islands of Americanization. Problem is that the very being of American funding would undermine the status billy of the donors - and money makers. They will be perceived as collaborators - think about the meaning of the word "Hellenists," that it is still used 2,150 years since the Seleucid Empire was booted from Judea - and they will not be able to promote billy anything. The concept of network liberating billy stems from the principle of equality of all peoples - American equality scale, much of the world rejects. Backward parts of the world will have to first release their paranoia; It will take a long time. Until then, American technological innovations and high-tech culture will be used, in the wild, as a weapon against her.

Almost the only new thing is the fact that Wired magazine has revealed the identity of the origin of the lost iPhone, Brian Hogan.

Hogan managed to delete the meantime his Facebook account, billy as well as probably all of his other accounts and other social sites.

What is important billy is that three - four people are determined, with sufficient time and funding, they could pull it from the screen of anonymity thought protected him. Deletions carried out did not help him, and nearly all the information it came to what other people billy wrote. billy Please note.
Amazon and the state of North Carolina this month managing persistent struggle, which has now reached the courts. Subject of the dispute is North Carolina VAT imposed on its citizens: According to the state, Amazon does not charge tax and thus affects state revenues, as well as the viability of small businesses., North Carolina requires the list of its citizens who have purchased products on Amazon, as well as the list of items purchased so they can charge them tax.

Amazon noted a number of items purchased in North Carolina: the books "How to outsmart your husband and win baguette", "Convert to Islam idiots", "Field of Marijuana - plant it yourself", "Bipolar disorder: A guide for caregivers and families." And another, and another.
With this information, the government can know who has expressed interest in growing marijuana and who is considered to deceive her husband (and the authorities). For this reason, says Amazon, Libraries received federal protection from the delivery of information. But Amazon is not the library: It Shop. Is she entitled to the same protections?
North Carolina billy government claims that it can live without list of books, but she needs to know how many books
