All European government websites are also built on Drupal.

It has become the defacto standard. Unfortunately, because it's a big mess indeed.

Right, I mean there is something dubious too all this. Both Microsoft and Facebook did and are actually practicing enough shady business tactics. Internet explorer, tax evasion, privacy issues, you name it, they are all guilty of this kind of stuff. But then now, we should glorify them once they give away the money they earned this way.

It's not that he made Office overpriced, just to eradicate polio.

I've been going through the same motions. You end up with Thinkpads as the only viable alternative (esp with the numeric keyboards, which I like); but once if you get decent specs, they become as pricey as mbp's, plus there is the lottery of quality you randomly get. I'll wait a month, see if Apple does an event.

I wonder why, all these billionaires first want to make billions, and then do philanthropy. How about making their services/business/products more affordable with which they are making all this money with in the first place?

For example: MS Office used to cost 4-500 euro for the average home user a few years ago. That was ridiculous.

If you have a small shop and 2000 Facebook page likes, Facebook rips you off each time you want to reach them.

Maybe market dictates these prices but then again, they would be in the position to dictate the prices in the first place.

MultiEdit DOS version was a great tool indeed. looking at the activity of their forum, things are not very lively.

About the economist intelligence unit "We are outspoken in our views. Unlike our sister company, The Economist newspaper, much of our work is bespoke for clients and remains confidential. But we share the same fierce passion for independence and integrity. Clients work with us because we are not afraid to tell them what we really think. We never pander to internal agendas or work to buttress some preconceived strategy. We have no vested interest in any specific recommendation—we do not undertake follow-on work to help clients to implement strategies or plan M&A. We just analyse the facts and present our conclusions. We believe that our clients execute better strategies as a result.

Acquiring wealth is certainly a crucial attribute on making a city "livable", and it's completely left out here.

Just because ISIS mentions a cities name, does not really mean it makes the city less livable. This article isn't Economist worthy.

Ok, just a FaceTime clone. When Apple added it to iOS it seemed redudant initially (because of Skype etc), but now everyone is using it all the time, because it's phone number based: It's a success.

So the real question is, if they wanted to make this, what the hell took them so long?

It really smells like a mistake, and catch-up, almost pitiful at this point.

All this attention to "self driving cars" makes news look pretty poor. It'll take years for them to become reliable.

Theoretically, that makes sense. But I'm pretty sure you didn't try to customize one of these themes, if you write that. So..

The only truth about Wordpress being so successful is its theme availability. Envato can for sure be responsible partially for its success.

It's not that Wordpress is good, or great or that much extensible. One could easily look for ExpressionEngine or Craft, if that would be the case.

But if you want a 1-click install, plus slap a 50$ theme on it, and your stuff to look pretty good, Wordpress is a viable solution.

However, if you want to customise stuff yourself, things become really dreadful very quickly. Anyone saying otherwise, hasn't done so.

All the other stuff, about any of its "goodness" as addressed here in the article, is basically the author doesn't knowing any better, what a real CMS is supposed to do.

Apple in 2 years

Most of it seems far-fetched and conspiracy theorylike. Also, it seems this is the only topic this blogger is writing about? Talk about a niche.
