Mordor

Wife (not a techie) says she wants Android now, so there's no one stealing her fingerprints.

just ate another chocolate on account of this article :@

They are so fond of telling us, "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear."

What does Obama fear?

Spain, a country with high unemployment, takes a step towards crushing its IT infrastructure.

Everyone assumes metadata doesn't include the source data.

Even a compressed copy of your telephone conversation isn't the actual call, just the 'metadata' describing how it is compressed...

Perhaps the only language that the US will understand is a loss of business?

Well, at least we can all understand the "war on terror". It was really about securing US dominance via a secret system of courts, government agencies and secret deals between US corporations.

All this due to the ending of the cold war.

Now, with the Arab Spring, the US has sought to twist events into a new war. Syria being just the beginning...

It's all about protecting the data from non-US interests, Google has probably already given the keys to the NSA.

All the more reason for choosing Chinese own brand.

Google appear to be confusing the law with the loyalty of their customers.

Supposing the Justice Department has committed a crime:

- What laws have been broken?

- What individuals broke those laws?

- What punishments are appropriate?

- Who decides who is guilty?

- Who gives out those sentences?

- Where will the criminals be held?

Additionally, is the President at liberty to override them?

If all else fails, would it be possible for the people to set up their own courts outside of the Justice Department for this purpose?

Dude, where are your sources?

Idea: Yeah, let's just keep the top 10% and make them work 10x harder.

Reality: The most loyal are the least productive resulting in widespread dissatisfaction and even more leaks.

Yeah, I get the logic: 'terrorism' is knowing what the government is doing. Perhaps there's another logic: a government which hides in the shadows terrorizes everyone.

Cook is still trying to make a "faster horse" (as was his role during the Jobs era), but with Microsoft on the ropes and Google embroiled in NSA spying (undermining Glass), it's going to be a while yet before any of this matters.

Sounds reasonable, but what are the MP's going to do, since that's the only part of them able to talk?

OK, so that's 26 minutes per file.

Spying on people is terrorism and should stop ASAP.

75%

Wow, they're so accurate. Perhaps 100% didn't sound so good?

We want high-grade ore

Always enjoy listening to criminals giving their pathetic excuses. Communism was a joke and so, unfortunately, is the Obama administration.

plot twist: it's Monsanto which is the real weed

TIL secret courts breed lazy judges

Any country with secret laws and secret courts cannot be trusted, so it's only the death of US encryption (chips, software, hosting and services).

It would be a mistake to apply principles and logic to war which is, in the end, a political decision.

Long story short: the next big thing is a language which mixes both FP and OO.

Perhaps we could close all the churches, synagogues, mosques and temples to... protect the children.

There is another option - don't sell the paintings.

Wouldn't it be simpler to ban children from the internet?

and yet not so easy to ban the death penalty
