We're more interested in government policy than what corporations are doing.
And the difference would be... what, exactly?
Maybe someone out there knows of industry-standard groups or other watchdog groups that actually give a rip about "government policy" before the lobbyists are done having their way with it... ? ?
(It is to be hoped that your employer will lead the way, with their web presence, by posting privacy policy statements and terms-of-use that can be read and understood by human beings who never went anywhere near a law school. The presentation of those web pages is a huge deciding factor here when I'm picking vendors or even retail sources online.)

If an application collects or transmits your personal information such as your address, you should know. We believe you should be asked explicitly for your permission in a manner that is obvious and clearly states what information will be collected or transmitted. For more detail, it should be easy to find a privacy policy that discloses how the information will be used and whether it will be shared with third parties.
...I'd also like to point out that sequels can be innovative.
Second that - I finally broke down and bought a Gamecube (the first console I've owned in a good ten years) in part because of the ads for a sequel...
And I gotta give props to "Crazy Taxi", which is a great antidote for actually having to drive around SF. The people always jump out of the way before you mow 'em down, too.
That's a pretty lousy justification. Look at how well US government oversight is working for patents (or insert your favorite arbitrary sector of commerce here)...
True words, and it's a shame. There is a source of help that's lost to some groups, such as sexual abuse survivors, when there is no truly anonymous forum (anon.penet.fi, we miss ya...).
The tragedy-of-the-commons aspect is that it takes responsible adults who respect each other to preserve anonymized communication. Fraudsters always get their fingers in the pie, as well as those who promote ever-increasing surveillance ("It's for the children !")

Gotta be troll-satire. But once again, for the folks in back...
Anyone who doesn't desire the improvement of what they "love", doesn't love it very much after all. If your daughter took up prostitution, you'd probably seek an option other than "love her" or "leave her".

When asked which research from its labs has made its way into Microsoft products, the list from Microsoft officials doesn't exactly bowl over a listener: better software-verification techniques, digital media-player technologies, additions to the SQL database language.
Some "enforcement" actions must not be forgotten. Poulson also wrote an article about it.
Those targeted by this federally-aided sweep were not pirates (as an AC wrongly characterized it) - but people who bought legal equipment with other legitimate uses, which also could have been used to help pirate DirecTV programming. And some of the targets don't even own satellite dishes.

Goooooood one.

No thanks.
Lower case 'p', maybe - poof, and it automatically asks if it can place an order.
Given my experience with other brands of cheap printers, automatic ink reordering is not the way I want my credit cards maxxed out.

Too true.
What are we doing wrong?

I wonder what it will take for a sufficient number of people to find that kind of corporate arrogance intolerable, and vote with their wallets...
As so often happens, the push to legislate privacy disclosures has normalized some pretty dismal behavior.
