  1. Re:Two Wrongs != Right on Snowden Joins Daniel Ellsberg On Board of Freedom of the Press Foundation · · Score: 1

    Wanted to rate but decided to comment. (Yes, I know, I shouldn't reply to AC...)

    So what happened to others who followed the Constitution?

    Not much, I bet.

  2. Re:disallow searching in profile on Bennett Haselton: Google+ To Gmail Controversy Missing the Point · · Score: 1

    Where is my undo button... ignore my previous comment.

    It's under the Settings (below the icon).

    Thanks for the tip.

    I can't seem to find it. Perhaps my gmail is already part of G+...(and yes, I must have clicked something to allow it.. Can't recall for some reason)

  4. Re:disallow searching in profile on Bennett Haselton: Google+ To Gmail Controversy Missing the Point · · Score: 3, Informative

    Took me a while to get there.

    1.Click on your icon (top right on my browser) to go to Account settings.
    2. Click on Google + Settings
    3. Under Profile (more than half way down), uncheck "Help others discover my profile in search results."
    4. Cross-fingers, because who knows what other options will be added

  5. Re:Potential creepyness. on Google Patents Fooling Friends With Snooping, Chatbots · · Score: 1

    You forgot the shadows...burnout residue of the family. :)

  6. Re:Just need new spin ... on China Plans To Stop Harvesting Organs From Executed Prisoners · · Score: 1

    Or... they realized most of the prisoners are underfed and malnourished... as well as, they probably found non-prisoner matching one of high official's urgently required organ.

    So, close the gate on select few prisoners...and open up wide for the general public.

    I think the detail will be in that volunteer campaign...incentive or threat therein.

  7. Re:Everyone a donor on China Plans To Stop Harvesting Organs From Executed Prisoners · · Score: 1

    Any source? I'm genuinely curious but haven't read up on true/factual articles.

  8. Re:Amazing on UK Government Destroys Guardian's Snowden Drives · · Score: 1

    Actually, every time I hear the news on CBC...then read something like this, I really wonder if they are making a big fuss over this scandal just to draw attention away from the PRISM and others programs that are probably also in Canada.

  9. Re:Snitches are bitches on NSA Spying Hurts California's Business · · Score: 1

    Is this just fantasy?

  11. Re:Holder?! on Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders · · Score: 1

    It seems fairly obvious here...but how can we get people on the street to realize it too?

  12. Re:Alrighty then! on Demo Europe Hits Russia — and Start-ups Have To Beg · · Score: 1

    Does it collect user information for optimizing ad revenue using Big Data?

  13. Re:I paid thousands of GBPs... on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 1

    Try checking your teeth (in particular wisdom teeth). Next thing I checked for my killer-migraines was my glasses frames. After some rough encounter with little folks (of the progeny kind), they were indeed too tight due to my failed attempt to fix them.

    YMMV.

  14. Re:Well now on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, if I'm standing on the street wearing the Glass, will I be in trouble for recording what's happening over the fence into, say, your house?

    And what if the said fence is one of those wire type that's basically see-thru?

  15. Re:is gmail faster in it? on Google Chrome 27 Is Out: 5% Faster Page Loads · · Score: 1

    Average. So that means there are bound to be sites slower than that 5% diff.

    Upon self reflection, I've noticed that when a site loads slower, I usually close the tab and search for other sources or move on as well.

    I second netvibes. It's replacing my Reader as well.

    Tiny Tiny RSS: http://tt-rss.org.nyud.net/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki

    I keep hearing about it. It worked for some; not for others.

  22. Re:Netvibes on What's the Best RSS Reader Not Named Google Reader? · · Score: 1

    I haven't used it much... but so far I like Netvibes as well. It will also likely replace my iGoogle, which is going away this year too. (Nov 2013)

    I tried using Newsblur and functionality wise, that came pretty close to Google Reader. But I got really turned off by freemium. If I can only track 12 feeds, that's useless. (I keep reading 64 somewhere but when I tried it last night, it was limited to 12; regardless, I track more than 64 anyway so it doesn't work for me.) I did love the fact that you can 'close the account' with a click of a button.

    Feedly looked alright but once in a while, the whole page shifted far to the right that I only had about 20% of the browser on the right side. Some CSS issue, I imagine. As well, I couldn't add RSS for some reason. (Site not found error). I've closed the account by emailing team@devhd.com (need to provide Google Reader user id) and un-installing the plugin.

    Wouldn't cardinals pick someone not named Peter just for that purpose? (and of course, the new pope could have changed his or her name...)
