Isn't this just doing what Salman Khan suggested in his TED talk? He proposed that teachers should use class time for supervising and assisting in problem solving, and that students should watch lessons at home.
I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, to discover that "do not track" preferences are being ignored.
It's almost as if the trackers actually wanted to track you...

Okay so if i dressed my daughter in tights and a sleeveless leotard she still would have to be scanned and or searched??
Depends. Maybe if you send your local TSA folk some photos of your daughter in the leotard they'll give you an opinion. Of course, if the opinion is that they still want to see her without the leotards (such as in their nudie scan machines), you're SOL. So is she.
Or Stalin claiming things he does are meant to improve life of the working class.
In politics, "improve" does not necessarily imply "make better", despite naive interpretations to that effect. For example, Stalin improved the working class by making them work longer and harder, and die younger and poorer.
Most of the public could do all that on their phone. Most of the public don't particularly "need" computers.
No, they couldn't. Browsing the internet or writing a document is horrible on most phones. Tablet, yes maybe.
The HTC Desire Z (a phone with a real hardware keyboard) whips any tablet for browsing the internet. And it's possible to actually write documents on it. The keyboard is even localized - my version has a Finnish keyboard so I can type ä or ö without having to navigate through symbol menus.

Zimbabwe does not strike me as the epitome of privacy, or indeed of any aspect of the rule of law. It stinks only of corruption and of might makes right...
There is no explanation one how the VDE arrives at this ruling. My personal experience shows a rather big resolution difference between FPR and shutter glass based 3D TVs
Big deal. In my experience, the difference (if any) is only to the potential for marketing hype and consumer misinformation. 3D TV is a fad which will likely be relegated to special interest pay channels (porn?), and the odd teaser on regular channels for quite a while. Then again, with incompatible systems between manufacturers, not many will have the right viewing equipment. Ask me in another 10 years whether I have a 3D TV; the market might have sorted itself out by then, and either died or picked a common technology.
The only people who dont seem to understand this are the tea-baggers, but I don't find that particularly surprising, since their total understanding of economics is, "Taxes Bad."
WTF have tea-baggers got to do with economics or politics? Is it really true the USA now has a political movement devoted to tea-bagging?
So that would make the title of TFS: "Panetta Says Defeat by Al Qaeda 'Within Reach'". The way the US has been careening down the slippery slope, he'd be right.
The name 'Space Invaders' rings a bell for a lot of people. It has no meaning in regard to the story apart from alien invasion, but the name 'Space Invaders' has deep ties in popular culture, meaning much more people will go see the movie because of the it, even if it has little or nothing to do with the game.
So it will be as much like the original as the "I, Robot" movie was like Asimov's stories.
What a waste of time. I'll skip this one...
Chrome is getting to be as intrusive as IE used to be.
Come on, moderators, sober up! This guy was aiming for "funny", and definitely not "insightful".
It's hard to think of a less insightful premise or a more false comparison. Chrome must be installed voluntarily (unlike IE), can be removed completely (unlike IE), and is neutral regarding other services from its maker (unlike IE). Hell, Chrome even has an open-source version - Chromium (stunningly unlike IE).
Google is also evilly leveraging their monopoly position to get marketshare in other areas. The very same thing that Microsoft did in the 90's.
Just to correct a critical part of your argument: in the 90's there was essentially no viable alternative to Microsoft's monopoly OS; however, there are any number of alternative web search services as viable alternatives to Google. To the extent that Google has a monopoly, it is one they are either (i) voluntarily granted by consumers, or (ii) retain only by inertia. Either way, the alternatives in search are viable and a Google monopoly can persist only if the alternatives are worse. This is in stark contrast to the Microsoft monopoly, which was truly evil (and apparently still strives to remain a monopoly).
It may not be a hardware problem, it may be a problem that actually has more to do with the fact that Oracle owns MySQL.
It's not unreasonable to suppose Oracle might "nudge" Facebook into the deeper end of Oracle's trough of slimy swill. But who to root for? This is a bit of a conundrum. Seeing Facebook's delicate bits getting squeezed is not an unattractive proposition, but seeing Oracle benefit therefrom would be appalling.
Right, I'll just choose never to be suspected of a crime. How could I be so blind?
Make sure you also choose to prevent suspicion ever falling on any of your neighbours, friends, acquaintances, workmates, or people who hang out in the same bars or social clubs as you. Otherwise, you're fair game for the DNA database.
There are literally millions of people who work for the police in the UK
Really? Considering that working for the police in the UK involves being a member of the UK labor force, which is just over 31million persons, you're suggesting that at least 1 in 30 of them is working for the police. And that's interpreting your "literally millions" as being just 1 million.
Actually, adding together the police force sizes for England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, one gets a total of 164,580 which is about one sixth of a million.

If I was, I'd be a bit peeved, of course.

Google+ is much tighter with your data than Facebook is by about a brazillian percent
a brazillian percent, is that a normal percent with all the private hair shaved off ?
If you're a nubile female, then yes.
Remind me to tell my wife she's a brazilian percent better than other women...

Yup, the fish was using the diver as a tool for publicity shots...

Was Julian Assange correct, when he warned that Facebook was a giant, 'appalling spy machine'?"
Yes.
Facebook has the potential for such uses, and we've learned that any such potential will be exploited.
Google+ is going to be a lot less cool if Brazil and India get invites before me.
Let me guess. You're in a hell-hole country like Myanmar or North Korea or Somalia or Zimbabwe.

Just remember that when he says "Toronto" it means he doesn't know the answer.
Remember, "Toronto" is an Iroquois word meaning "the place where the mind narrows".
I've heard that "Ottawa" is one of its synonyms.
