  1. Facebook wants your children, too on Privacy Hacking Worse Than PR Flacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not just high school students. The Zuck said he wants facebook available for kids under 13, too. Child protection laws require age verification for kiddies, and the hastle of doing that is pretty much the only thing stopping them right now. Facebook, from it's founding, has always been on morally ambiguous ground, and there's no reason to suspect they'll change in the future. -www.awkwardengineer.com.

  2. BREAKING NEWS: on Massive LinkedIn IPO Raises Dotcom Bubble Concerns · · Score: -1, Troll

    BREAKING NEWS: People who are NOT experts also question the value of linked in. And I am one of them. - www.awkwardengineer.com

  3. Organize the worlds information and MAKE IT FREE on Google Abandons Plan To Archive World's Newspapers · · Score: 0

    I liked it when part of google's plan was to organize the worlds information and make it accessible and free, just as a way to drive more ad traffic. I hope OnePass isn't like the NYtimes firewall, which was basically no fun. - www.awkwardengineer.com

  4. Re:Could that be a lie? Or, is Amazon not doing we on Ebooks Now Outselling Print Books At Amazon · · Score: 0

    True story about the paper books. We have old engineering drawings on microfilm here at work. They're about 50 years old, but it's FILM. you shine some light through it, and there your image is. We don't have any CAD files from 10 years ago, that's for sure. Also, they didn't say anything in the article if the sales calculations were by units, or by cost. - www.awkwardengineer.com

  5. Chicken with it's head cut off? on Implant Restores Paralyzed Man's Leg Movement · · Score: -1

    The articles says that the spine itself has the neural circuitry to help with balance. That the brain isn't completely necessary. That's f-ing scary. www.awkwardengineer.com

  6. Apparently, being prepared is a good life plan. on CDC Warns of Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 0

    If you read further into the article, you see that their guidelines are pretty much the same as preparing for any other disaster: have a meeting plan for your family, have water, food, shelter, etc. Good for them for having creative marketing. www.awkwardengineer.com

  7. Cool. on Imagining the CLI For the Modern Machine · · Score: 0

    Everything goes in cycles. From terminal, to personal computer, to cloud. Here's terminal again. - www.awkwardengineer.com

  8. Minority Report is Here! on Google Builds Biometric Models of Celebrity Faces · · Score: 1

    Remember those super ultra targeted ads that had a camera scan your retina? Then the ad would CALL YOUR name and try and sell you something. That's where this is going. www.awkwardengineer.com
