  1. Re:Nothing to hide – nothing to see here on In Australia, Even Private Facebook Photos Are Public · · Score: 1

    Privacy is being able to say something without worrying that someone will abuse that information, .. there is no freedom without privacy. If you have to think every second of the time how people will interpret whatever you are doing or saying, then you are in prison. It is not about what you've got to hide it's about being able to do or say something without people labeling you.

  4. Re:Uh... on Goodbye Textbooks, Hello iPad · · Score: 1

    The problem is not the technology the problem always has been who will dominate the market, .. if authors wouldn't have been so busy with protecting their asses all the time and same for publishers, .. we might of had those books on laptops/tablets and so forth a long time ago. They really should consider an open system where everyone can publish their crap. I mean if you can do that you wouldn't need publishers anymore, .. which is kind of the problem, rather then taking the approach of fear, ..

  5. my thoughts exactly, .. instead of occupying them selfs with such ridicules, things they should be focusing on how to help real people, now you know where your money goes when you buy those stickers !! To ridicules research and retarded discussions. Rather then spending money, on helping people they investigate how games effect people. As if a gamer is really going to travel to Africa or where ever to kill people. Money well spend I'd say, .. it's almost winter and there going to need blankets for the homeless, and they don't have enough funds as it is to help those people, yet they have money to do crap research.

    This research, is just ridicules, .. there aren't enough cases and the time frame isn't big enough to come to this conclusion. And there are to many variables, .. it's like how people blame smoking for everything, .. suddenly smokers are black sheep, .. governments call for quiting smoking merely because they think it will cut down cancer cases and this will be better for their health care budget, same goes for fast food, I'm not claiming smoking is healthy, .. but a lot of work/jobs are bad for your health too and yet governments want to make you work longer :p Or like using your phone in the car, .. it's not using the phone which is dangerous, but having the conversation which distracts you, .. or dialing the number, .. but so would having a conversation with the person sitting next to you or eating snack, drinking water on a hot day, yet there's no banning people from eating or talking to someone in the car.
