Chrome and Android should be spun off into independent companies.

Much better than when IE for Windows had 97% market share. IE for Mac and UNIX existed briefly and had different and incompatible rendering engine.

The Quran prohibits spying and other violations of privacy.

I can’t even remove the “Recommended” section from the Start menu

I daydream about it. Sometimes* I curse the discovery of oil. Instead of herding goats I am debugging C++ template errors. Though I do love airconditioning.

* a lie, I never do :) though I do think about goat herding.

ReactOS has been around for a while but still in development and not production ready
