Because the subject is the world of computers. There are no countries in the world of computers, there are just computers.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There are no countries other than the US in that article, despite the fact that the US didn't contribute a disproportionate amount to the history of computers.
The article isn't "computerWORLD", it's "computerLOOK-AT-US!", and it's not about the history of computing, it's about the history of the few contributions by the US, and tries to give the impression that that's all there was
It's biased and misleading crap, that leaves out everything in the hope of making one country look better -- y'know, just small things like the fact that the targeting computers they so proudly hold out as a sign of US dominance in computing were designed by the Royal Navy before the battle of Jutland, little stuff like that.
And try getting the point before making comments; it makes communication more effective.

That's why youtube is so good. Your average website only uses untrained monkeys

All our monkeys are self taught. They learned to cut and paste from CP.

Not to worry, I'm guessing the pork industry an unbiased entity will soon release a comprehensive study which reaches different conclusions. Now where's my frying pan?

A recent survey showed that 100% of respondents did not intend to change their bacon eating habits due to this article as they believed it to be seriously flawed and wildly inaccurate to to insufficient data sampling. My friend saidThe entire group of participants indicated that they considered many of these surveys to be bogus.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

People who ate the most processed meats (2.5 slices of bacon or sausage links a day) were 19 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer in a recent study. ..and -15% outside of that study? When someone says that "procecessed meats" are bad for you, I tend to believe them. Then again, "processed meat" is a hamburger from your local fast-food vendor. It's pink sludge, or meat that has been glued together.
Heresy.
Bacon-production should be totally transparent. There need be webcams, so we can crowd-spy on the "makers".

So if I do not drink and do not smoke I can eat more bacon?

Well, I know which one I'd rather share my bacon with and it isn't the blond one.

I have seen the future. Gesture comtrolled computers will be everywhere and open plan offices will be full of people waving their hands and arms all day long. 
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Might be a good way to offset some of the obesity we've got going on in this country.
I think they should put down dance pads in people's offices and make 'em dance out their emails. This could not only result in a healthier population but some white people might also learn to dance.

Google has already developed something very similar. It is Gmail Motion. https://mail.google.com/mail/help/motion.html[^] and I use it for all online work.

That won't happen. No more so than people talking to their computers.

I talk to my computer all the time.
Mostly swear words, I admit, but...
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

I often talk/yell to my computer. Most common phrase "Elephant you!" followed by coworkers looking at me to see what is wrong. Maybe one day it will understand me, but then I'll have to be nicer!
