  1. Re:Dear Apple by sootman · · Score: 1 · on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud

    It's really funny to see Android fans get all snooty about borrowing/stealing/copying ideas, since Android was nothing but a warmed-over Blackberry up until January 2007.

    Dear Android,
    Thanks for notifications and OTA updates. You're welcome for EVERYTHING ELSE.

  2. Automating it makes it gameable by mysidia · · Score: 1 · on "Pre-Crime" Comes To the HR Dept.

    Remember all the stories about fake twitter accounts, e.g. David Miliband and fake FB accounts?

    With automated systems using these, I wonder if it doesn't make it more likely plain rotten people will create fake accounts under the name and place of people they don't like, as a revenge tactic.

    Mining data from social networks is one thing.... actually authenticating that data or verifying the actual identity of the poster reliably, is hard.

  3. Re:The Washington Post.... by FriendlyLurker · · Score: 1 · on WikiLeaks 'a Clear and Present Danger,' Says WaPo

    True. As recent published research demonstrates: The WaPo, NYTimes, and LATimes all do not deserve our eyeballs (Warning: PDF Publications).

  4. Re:It doesn't matter-The future of trees. by FriendlyLurker · · Score: 1 · on Pay-Per-View Journalism Is Burning Out Reporters Young

    Especially The NYT, WashPost, and LATimes all do not deserve our eyeballs. Young journalists, do yourselves a favor... and go elsewhere.

  5. Re:The real question by FriendlyLurker · · Score: 1 · on Times Paywall Blocks 90% of Traffic

    Research shows that you are better off just dumping NYT/WashPost/other similar players in the news market if you care at all about balanced and accurate reporting. By denying them our collective eyeballs, they might actually adjust their arrogance down a tad and revert to better journalistic standards.

  6. Re:United States Government Accountability Office? by FriendlyLurker · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Top Secret America

    Worse, if the latest research (Warning: PDF research paper) on journalist standards at "credible" newspapers like Washington Post/NYT is any indication, we can't even trust anything that isn't secret to be reported correctly inside "Top Secret America". Sad, very sad, but at least the rapidly growing internet journalism is showing them up...

  7. Re:good description by jadavis · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Journalists Looking For Government Money

    the newspapers are folding because people are reading their news online...for free

    The WSJ[1], and the Economist[2] are doing just fine. Why are particular publications immune? There must be another explanation.
