If he is not guilty why does he gets his privacy violated?
After all, if he isn't a terrorist, he doesn't have anything to hide...... right?
This is the argument for a police state! Everybody is suspicious. Those who are not suspicious arouse suspicion. With this argument you give the wrong signal to politicans. You tell them: "Privacy does not matter to me!"
2. According to Cornell's lawyers, the DMCA was not a concern because navigation data is not, and cannot be, copyrighted.
There is no navigation data in the signal. Its a time signal/timestamp that gets transmitted.
The "logic" of your navigation system is inside the "box" in your car/ship/.. The box calculates the position depending on the timesignal. If your system can't read the time signal you can not calculate your position.
If the time signal is encrypted it may become a DMCA matter in US. Would be nice to follow: "US Army sued for USD 12 billion of DCMA violation..."
This is how legislators keep busy and stay out of trouble. Someone gets burned by an online dating experience, and raises a stink about it in public, and politicians hear that - usually correctly - as a call for someone to Get Out There and Do Something About This.
How many were "burnt" (=shot) by easy to get fire arms? How many were "burnt" by the RIAA / MPAA? How many were "burnt" by DRM? How many were "burnt" by software companies that are not liable for the damages their software caused?
I mentioned weapons, the big media, DRM, BigSoft Inc., did I miss someone or something? Healthcare and education are missing.
Microsoft, Google, Vodafone, Nokia and several other companies are backing.mobi, a new top-level domain aimed at making it easier to browse the Web on mobile devices, such as cellphones and PDAs
I don't want to browse any webpage with my cellphone!
I use my cellphone for sending SMS [gasp] and as a mobile telephone [double gasp]! I don't want to use my mobile phone as mp3 player, or movie station.....
Don't act surprised if your.mobi-world won't take of.

Can't we just take it for granted that IE is just choc-full-o-holes, and these holes will always get discovered by some third party, and MS will eventually make a patch for it. Then lather, rinse, and repeat? Why do stories like this even make it to Slashdot anymore?
Get the facts: The Internet Explorer is a not so secret remote admin tool! (aka backdoor)
The starvation problem is a problem of the distribution of foods.
There are already enough foods available for all people on this planet. The argument of "feeding the hungry" is an argument of the crop, gen-tech and fertilizer business / lobby.
Google could come back and say "Hey verizon, since you're building an ISP business based on OUR investments, how about if YOU pay US money to provide better service to Verizon customers?"
This is the end of open information.
The internet will revert back to days where Compuserve and AOL each had their own internet (aka intranet).

Superb marketing!
No "gsports.com" for Google Sports instead they use "joga.com". The 'g' in joga stands for Google like Gmail stands for Google Mail!
Oh you marketing overlords I am at your service.....
Did MS forget the mobile phone?
Or is MS stopping it's mobile phone activities?

Didn't Microsoft tell me about 2 years ago that their customers don't want tabbed browsing?
In 5 years they tell everyone they invented tabbed browsing years befor Opera and Firefox...
