I think this is Valve's answer to the chicken/egg problem of new platform/app availability.
Build it and they will come.
You'd think with everything Google already knows about most people they could just solve for x.
I'd like to know this too.
If the assumption is that they are marching to death prior to vaccine administration can it get much worse than that?
Reddit is a business, despite so many trying to convince themselves otherwise. Businesses don't like negative publicity. This is not new information.
After the Boston bonanza Reddit is going to squash anything that looks even remotely like it.
Canonical is probably primarily focused on recreating the Mir wheel and other Unity/Ubuntu Phone/etc. I doubt a whole hell of a lot of that goes upstream.
MAC filtering is trivially defeated by anyone who knows something about netsec.
MSCHAP is not good enough anymore either.
Maybe buy two hard disks, and back up one to the other.
It is only the linux kernel afterall.
You don't need to boycott AT&T, although, that would be nice.
They, Google, Level 3, etc. all own so much of the network backbones...it's impossible not to route through an adversarial trunk.
The answer is now encryption. End-to-end, and everywhere. Email should be considered as dead as the landline. Secure-IM and chat...along with self-hosted data services[like Owncloud] are the future. Or at least they should be.

Two giants whose revenue streams revolve around knowing their clients' personal business inside and out are suing the government because they want to get paid for turning the information over.
Just like the money PRISM brought to enable the monitoring, now they want per-use or even better regular rents from the government to keep the taps open.
The nice little side benefit is the puppet theater for their customers who still labor under the delusion that they have some shred of privacy with either of these for-profit corporations.
How about Mint search?
There have been rumors about love quadrangles in the news(other sources).
I'd like to think this is complete nonsense, but my life experiences say it's certainly possible.
Seems like these guys should have more than enough women chasing their money to not have to squabble over any one in particular.
This is a very cool find. Thanks for sharing.
If an idea is truly novel and valuable to the marketplace no patent is needed because the novelty itself provides ample time for you to 'recover' your investment.
Either no patents or very short patents[<=12 months for anything] is a basic requirement for a progressive society.
