Intel NUCs are pretty neat

I share your contempt towards Jobs and everything his work and Apple represent, but man your arguments are weird lol.

This is the typical comment where preconceptions are so strong that they ignore, and even go literally against, the evidence at hand. In this case, the news is precisely about the Indian regulator standing against the wealthy lobbyist (who happens to be an American company, by the way).

Looking forward to see who sanctions who.

Everyone should remember that the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos while reading this article. Even the title is propagandistic in style "...can fly safely over U.S. skies"

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

The tone is admittedly aggressive, but his feet are way more in the ground than those of the authors of the article. What those guys are doing is essentially illegal.

The righteous West is -has always been- corrupt and unworthy of trust.
