Overall, that's debatable. In this specific case, however, it's questionable that he had the right to do it.
Had he set up something to take photos of people IN the store from OUTSIDE the store, he's totally clean. But, having something set up inside the store and having it take pictures that are up close and personal, is questionable but not absolute.

Guess Prism's out a few bucks....
And probably a couple of web designers are out of a job.
That's life.
For example, commercial sites rely on their banner ads to generate revenue.
Like the great big ads for McAfee's products that run throughout this piece?
So, at first I thought that someone wanted Google to shut down its images service. Then, I read a little bit of the story and thought that Google was being asked to remove images of Australia's reactor. Then, I finally figured out that they were only being asked to censor those images. Now, I have a headache.
Yea, it doesn't really fit with this version of the joke. The way I heard it was that the guy is amazed that his arm will do anything he tells it and never gets tired, so he goes to a bar and orders beer after beer, thus leading to his poor choice of words...

I'm shocked. Shocked.
If you're on facebook, you've already shown you aren't thinking.
There is, but you wouldn't believe it if I told you.

You know, the one where they stopped putting in floppy drives? What a bonehead move *that* was.
How the fuck does a swimming pool have a polarity?
Perhaps it has a neutron flow.

"I'll second that. I saw "The Island" last week on a plane. Had to stop watching, as the numerous placements completely ruined the movie for me.
Oh, I hardly doubt that was the first or only thing that ruined that movie.From the article:
"some writers are putting up a fight, demanding more pay in exchange for scripting product plugs into their shows ."
