Wayland ist not a Xorg/Mir competitor, as mir is not affiliated in any way with xorg. Wayland is the planned successor of Xorg, while Mir is some Ubuntu project.
An ads wants to make you buy stuff, which you did not want to buy before. Some ads may make you buy stuff you really wanted, but in a specific store. The stuff there will be more expensive, because they need to pay for the ads somehow. And if they got you to click an ad, the chances for a sale are higher than normal anyway. Do you remember the site, which gave appleusers higher prices? So much on the topic of targeted ads...
what is the point about the flight data anyway? It should not be needed at all. And on the other hand... no nation should transfer private data about its people to other nations. No nation should ask their people for such private data, anyway.
by accessing an ip directly, you can always bypass the hosts-file. Not even speaking of patched libraries, which do not look up hosts in the hosts-file.
now there is closed source software like flash, silverlight to play DRM-content. Then there is an open API for closed components. Better, right? Think again...
Now there is moonlight and even an official flash player for linux. Then every site will have its own EME-module. Some may provide modules for linux, but others will not. The other pages are now linux supported. Then they will not be supported anymore. So EME does not contribute to open standards, but forces every company to make its own proprietary solution.
There are two webs forming, inside the same medium. Ever noticed, that most free sites like blogs do not link to news-sites with paywalls? The web-graph will have fewer and fewer connections between the two big components. One side with paywalls and DRM, one side with free sites like blogs, podcasts, etc.
something like a pure debian with tor and privoxy in it, which starts a browser, and load virtualbox/vmware modules. Then you just boot it and switch to "seamless mode" and get nothing but a free floating browser window. if you close it, you will be asked if you want to restart the browser or shutdown the vm.
just remove all root-CAs and trust the certificates individually. If you cannot trust the site itself to keep its ssl key, then you cannot trust it to keep the data, either.
The thing is, you do not want to make tor unusable by your "spam". So try to create something, which is useful for tor users and generates the traffic.
now there is a crypto-boom. NSA will just wait some time, until it fades again, before they can assume that encryption = suspicious, again.
By the way, is there an error in the article? Shouldn't it be that they need to stop collecting data, when the target is from OUTSIDE the US? NSA is a american secret service after all.
First: Why not consider opensourcing your software anyway? No need to hide then. Second: Your private Repos are safe. The NSA does not want you to know, they are reading them, so they will not leak your code to your competition, because then you will know, they can see it.
the point is: not ms is using it, the user is using it. Like a knife. You can sell a knife without any problem, its perfectly legal. But if the buyer then kills someone with it, its an illegal use. Maybe here there is no legal use for the youtube app possible, but then its only illegal to use the app, not to build it. And as long as a user without google account can use the app (because google does not block the api to unauthenticated users), the user is not bound by any google TOS, and can use the app as he likes.
what part of googles IP? Maybe they need to avoid using trademarks like Youtube, okay.
Having TOS on a website is not enough for consent, thats the reason every website puts a checkbox next to "i agree to the TOS". You need to activly agree to be bound... the websites only enforce their TOS by not providing the service to users which did not click "agree". If they provide the service (as youtube provides videos to anonymous visitors), the visitor is not bound to any TOS.

no, they are not.

And on the other hand
no torture?
metadata is: this data contains location information.
data is: he's X years old, just bought some bread and now waits for the bus at location Y
so you're not completely right, but its still no metadata.
This article now ... where was slashdot years ago?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights
human rights?
The best translator ever?

Soon these Desktops will need wayland. so they need to run wayland on Xmir to run Xfce. Have a lot of fun...
Then the software is too complicated and/or does not have good documentation.

mod parent up. and disable mozilla addon-tracking
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/how-to-opt-out-of-add-on-metadata-updates/
so how do you detect a tor node?
yes there are lists ... but only of exits.
you should not trust ssl. not if the nsa is your enemy and you have any "big" CAs in your list of trusted CAs.

so now google should put a multiline license-header before the block, maybe being about 0.5 of the lenght of actual minified code?
