  2. Re:Google Bows to No Queen on Google Seeks To Throw Out UK Safari Tracking Suit · · Score: 1

    Google vs. the UK? The House is giving odds favoring UK. The last time I was in the UK, the Tower was still there, and was operational.

    I still trying to wrap my head around the part where the EU's, and the UK's Laws are secondary to California Laws? Since when did California become responsible for that mess? Californians have enough problems to solve out here. Like the Bullet Train, the Kings River Delta, and Daylight Savings Time.

  4. NSA Missed a Spot! on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 1

    So, ah, the NSA is not to clear about Financial Terrorism? So what causes more damage? A bomb going off in an outdoor market? How about 1 family in 10 losing their home? In case the NSA doesn't read, it's the number of people in America during the 2006 financial implosion; or the Great Recession. Thanks NSA for all the good work you did being a part of that solution. Where was the NSA, helping, then? How about the Banking crap going on in the EU? That didn't affect Americans?

    Public evidence shows that the general running the NSA knows a lot about lying to congress, and guns in his face. But absolutely nothing about the hand in his wallet that in his pants pocket, or does he. I won't ask, and he shouldn't tell.

    "very likely structural unemployment over 25%"? Currently what is the percent of manufacturing employees? With robotics, it will tend to approach Zero. We may be seeing a raise in hiring for Think Tanks?

    One should be very concerned when person A gets one set of results, and person B gets another set of results; both using the same search criteria.

    The prudent investor would read both. The concerned environmentalist would read both. Filtering so that we don't offend? The offended should learn to read.

  20. Re:Not all top developers work in those few compan on Inside the War For Top Developer Talent · · Score: 1

    Amazing as it sounds, it's not the technology that wins, it's marketing. For example, ear phones on a music player is nothing new. But put a go-go dancer on a some street dancing/walking to music that only she hears, and one has the iPod.

    From the 1900's, in New York there were steak houses everywhere. A successful marketing person said, "Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle."
