Thanks, that explained a lot.

One side demanded equal opportunity, but actually have greater opportunity than other side. However equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcome.

I will check the list 10 years from now.

It is different: Cellphone, especially smartphone nowadays, has extended reach.

When your phone is taken away after they forced you enter SU level password, you have no control of it, they do.

Whoever took it inside the room, they can:

>Browser your email, check who you contacted since you have you email box: Why you bought this on amazon? Why you bought that from Ebay? For what reason you purchase two pressure cookers from and nails from Walmart at the same time?

>Check your contacts: Who is Mr.X? When was the last time you talk to Mr. Y? What was in the conversation?

>Check what you have posted on facebook/Twitter. You supported Aaron Swartz? You are in the protest called The Day we Fight Back? What was the protest about? Who you are with?

>You may have home security Cam APP installed: Who sitting in the sofa? How many rooms do you have? Is this your wife? What is her social security number? What is her first name? On the day of Feb 21, 2013, who are the two male visited your home? What's their name and what's the purpose of the visit? How long they stayed in your house? What car they are diving? What is the plate number?

>Copy all your photos for further investation.

>Install Spyware, Copy your RSA key stored in your phone.

I bought 16 total Low Self-Sidcharge NiMh AAA/AA from amazon back to 2009.

That was the last time I buy batteries in that spec because they still work today.

Contracts bind you and the services with a fixed price, regardless on the value and emerge competitors.

True.

Microsoft would not beat IBM for being 'the next IBM'

Tesla would not beat Major car industries for being 'the next-gen Toyota way'

and, Google, probably will be replaced by someone in a complete industry. My guess that might be something that comes from VR.
