The insane privacy violations, hand-to-mouth relationship with the Feds, crappy search results, blah blah blah. There are a lot of corporations run by douche bags that I'm forced to interact with every day. Will I still use Google? Yes? Do I have my Applehead loyalty to them any more? No!
The name Facebook probably sounds a bit exotic and interesting to a foreign tongue. We English speakers do the same thing with foreign words as names; especially using foreign cities. Now, imagine meeting a German kid named Chicago or Macho. Probably the same to a European meeting an American girl named Paris or Allegra.
The summary blows "give me a reason to buy" out of the water. When all new media (heck maybe even live TV) have these hidden flags toggled on, you'll have your good reason shoved down your throat.
...or is every news site on the web turning into Chicken Little doom forecasters to whore for clicks? Wake me up when the armada is in low-earth orbit.
Almost as much as you obviously don't have the balls to print it. You're going to make an accusation, have the balls to put your name on it. Don't send readers out looking for conspiracy theory web sites.
This computer is designed to parse non-literal (whatever the term is) phrases filled with idioms and form and answer (or question for Jeopardy). The computer already has all the answers, but needs to figure out what the host is asking for. But, humans and fans work towards answer from the opposite direction. As fans know, ofetn you don't know the answer, but the puns, phraseology, and category often give you hints towards the answer. Not to slight the accomplishments of the programmers, but it doesn't think along the same lines of a real contestant.
You do realize that politicians at the national level simply don't have the time to read every book, bill, etc. that comes down the pipe? That doesn't mean they're ignorant. That's what an army of staffers is for. They do the reading, give a summary presentation, then send Sen. John Doe to work. A lot of delegation is necessary when you've got that full a plate.
Lots of people in this country think that politicians are somehow wasting time by not spending enough on the issue of the day. I recommend you watch some CSPAN. These guys burn lots of time on mundane tasks and bills you've never even thought about.
That jargon is meant to protect mobsters from prosecution since they're well aware that the law might be listening. This guy was either so arrogant he thought he had outsmarted the law or simply not sophisticated enough to tie up the loose ends (and lips).
This is a major cultural issue with tech companies. By structure, the sales/marketing/accounting guys are the ones that migrate up the ladder; unless your CEO is still your founder. You end up with internal power brokering that pushes the less socially-saavy techies into a development black box.
Back in the Dot Com days, I remember articles from brash sales guys almost proud to know little about the technical side of the business as it was some sort of a badge of honor to say "I'm so good I can sell crap and not even know what it is." It takes quite a bit of humility (or shame) for someone in that culture to bring in techies at a highly visible level. Top-level employees should either have their own tech skills or have access to people that do, but it doesn't seem to happen enough. We've seen way too many CEOs playing musical chairs in tech companies and running them into the dirt.
And, by getting away with it, I mean how do you overcome not having a fundamental understanding of content that might be a prerequisite to higher level classes? It would seem to be exponentially more difficult to cheat your way through classes since at some point in your last years you'll definitely have to be quizzed without a browser accessible.
I was in LOVE with this series back then. I was like a trekkie geek for it. I watched it whenever I could get access to it on TV, played the RPG, bought the cheap Japanese knockoff toys, etc. But, because of downright extortion by Palladium games charging $10 dollars per EPISODE I never got to see the whole series when I was a big fan. I knew of networks of people trading anime back and forth, but I never went through with getting VHS tapes mailed to a fellow fan.
Finally, about 5 years ago I found the series for the dirt cheap price of $15 plus shipping for all the DVDs and got to see all the episodes for the first time. I don't know my point since I'm against downloading content and not paying the artists, but back then there wasn't much of a choice. I imagine there still isn't much access for fans today.
I used to be an almost anal retentive driver because I'd been hit a couple of times by careless drivers. About 3 years ago, I was thinking about getting a stick shift and I bought a Logitech wheel and GTR2 (a full-blown racing simulator) to practice with to get the coordination down. Having never been a racing fan, I found myself hooked on the driving lessons and competition. I started subconsciously crossing lines in the road to "follow the best line" and getting as close as I could to inside curbs. It hit me how bad I'd gotten when I blew past a slow-moving truck on an entry ramp and drove completely on the shoulder to do it.
So, was I a much better driver after that experience? Yes. Was I safer? No. But, now that I'm aware of how racing habits can affect your everyday driving, I'm better able to keep it in check.
There's an issue of account ownership with all of these services. One of the reasons I've given up on Amazon Web Services (and my Google account on my Android phone) is information ownership. This guy probably has a lot of contact information locked up in Facebook that he can't get out anymore. I don't use Facebook, so I don't know how it works.
But, if you look at Wikileaks and complaints of those Gmail has kicked out, depending on a 3rd party to maintain your cloud is a dangerous thing. When they pull the plug, they just do it. They don't give you any kind of exit strategy. Nevermind the privacy issues...

zomg fatul crash lol
Seems like a natural gravity pit wouldn't be the best place to hang out.
Google's only charging 10% juice as opposed to Herr Jobs' 30%...FaTaLiTy!
I've been offering my DNA samples for at least 20 years now.
Where a lot of his conspiracy theories seem to originate. I always thought he was an opportunistic demagogue, but I think he eats his own dog food.
They all think they're the "good" kind.

Man, you have GOT to elaborate on that story...
Darik's boot and nuke. It's what I use whenever I want to hide my shady stock market trades...I mean...delete old church sermons.

I don't know what's funnier, this post or the people trying to correct him.
Don't understand your reference. Please elaborate!

As in preparing explanations for the questionable, illegal activity she was up to. Or, outright scrubbing the logs where possible.
You didn't read the part in the article that said they'd be delivered in BMWs and learned to love commitment and talking about their feelings.
