So it is (my interpretation) looking toward either "no deal" or "no Brexit" (UK can cancel the process any moment until April 12th). I sincerely hope we get the latter, for all of us, both in Europe and UK.

Although observing the UK after a Brexit gives us concrete evidence to backup our claim that we need the EU to survive in a globalized world, I cannot wish for this sad outcome to become the reality.

How did two Soviet-born Florida businessmen — one linked to a Ukrainian tycoon with reputed mafia ties — become key hidden actors behind a plan by U.S. President Donald J. #Trump’s personal attorney, former #NYC mayor Rudy #Giuliani, to investigate the president’s rivals? This is the story.

Matrix version 1.0 has been released! We think Matrix is already so good that you could host it on a home server and use it to replace Whatsapp.

We even made a video tutorial!

Exact stopt van ene op andere dag met leveren diensten aan Cuba. Amerikaanse wet opgevolgd na overname door KKR. Mogelijk is naleven boycott illegaal onder Europese wetgeving.

Read this and then consider Huawei being blacklisted for suspicion not facts. Such double standards!

Blacklisting Huawei is not about backdoors and espionage, it is America First, kill the competition from abroad by government intervention.

A few months ago, Microsoft decided to collaborate with Google and drop its web engine in favor of Google's.

Earlier this week, Google blocked all ad blockers, and now Microsoft has de-listed UBlock Origin (a powerful ad-blocker). Without real choice, monopolies will dictate what you see and do on the Internet.

Real choice comes with Free/Open Source Software.
