Or, develop a good relationship with your children
This part you got right.
instead of once again relying on technology to babysit for you.
Being aware of signs of trouble is a necessary part of what a good parent does. This particular technology is not a babysitting technology, such as TV (or invisible fencing?), that implies parental neglect or shirking of responsibility. This is probably worse, in that it involves clandestine monitoring, implying that you are suspicious of people you love. Neither provides a solid foundation for a relationship, but there is a distinction.
Talk to your kids about behaving responsibly, and openly talk with them about their concerns, and yours.
Sounds like a cheesy anti-smoking commercial, but I completely agree with the statement. Resorting to spying, snooping, or any type of deception will just damage your relationship because it means you mistrust your children. You should trust your children, but that does not mean you let them do anything they want without oversight or supervision. You trust them to make good decisions, but you keep an eye on them to help them when they don't.
I'm sorry...I just accidentally modded this as Overrated. I meant to mod as Funny. I was laughing and my mouse jiggled at the wrong moment... I will comment to hopefully remove my mod.
You seem to really relish belittling your "friend's" accomplishments. Hmmm, why does this sound familiar? Oh, right, that's just what they did to you, and it was wrong for them to do it then, but now, it's justified for you to do it now?
So I guess hate fuels the Porsche of your own insecurity. Your hate wagon now tailgates the 3-day-old Mustang of pure love. Listen, guy, you need to let love win.
You can learn to find joy in others' joy, even people you don't like. You will find yourself a happier person.
I am completely guessing here, but I gotta think that this cancelation is part of the campaign. This announcement will probably get as much exposure as the ads themselves.
Release well produced but confusing and ineffective ads
Publicize the cancellation and fallout
Create fake conflict between Seinfeld and Gates?
Resolve conflict through YouTube/billboards/campaign-type commercials
Profit!
Either that, or this has been a gigantic embarrassing blunder by a company that actually has a lot at stake on this.

If you want to lecture these people about anything, it should be over their failure to carry enough water before entering the desert.
It would be an even bigger mistake if they did not bring enough air. Seriously-- you can't even breathe without that stuff and junk.

(And no, this comment isn't Insightful or anything else; actually I probably HBT).
That's your uncle talking.
Or, how about the reward is that you acted responsibly, doing what you thought was the right thing. Can't that be enough?

There's a great TED talk on the intelligence of crows.

It's kinda like I accidentally colondotted your karma.

Course, you may suffer high packet loss near overpasses.

I've had this article on my cube wall for the last 8 years. On mine, the headline reads "Hawking urges engineered humans".
