I have my own email in my house which makes me immune to crap like this... ISP's can only see my email in transit because the drives are in my basement. I wonder if we can't produce a device that will give people control over their mail and take it out of the hands of google.
The device is about the size of a Netgear ReadyNAS (in fact maybe we just use the ReadyNAS for this... Its linux after all)... Just a couple of disks driven from a small low performing Linux controller. It runs a mail server (postfix + dovecot + IMAP + round cube), and any other services we need on it. One service we may need is a VPN service... Since most people don't have static IP's we'll need a way to direct traffic to them. So we'll give them a small VM in AWS and a VPN connection from their device. the VM can't store anything locally. Everything in their name and not ours.
We'll offer services for $50 or something where we help them set this all up or they can leverage our simple instructions and tools themselves. We'll even partner with godaddy to help them buy domains and get SSL certs for the mail server and web server from another cheap vendor.
Its probably been said a couple of times in this thread...
I work for a large financial company on wall street... I would never have thought that MIT is one of the most popular places for our recruiters to look for candidates. On my company Vball team there were 3 MIT grads out of 8 players. What degree you ask... Math. Not even a master's, just a regular BA/BS.
Think funds for a second. There are a group of funds that operate completely by computer. Alot of trends have to be analyzed before a choice can be made on what to buy/sell. Those funds are actually out performing most human managed funds...
The definition of a Law in science is something that can be proven to exist every time at all points in the universe. A theory is something that we believe to be true, but isn't quite ready to be a law.
If I remember correctly, gravity is a law because on earth, they have proven it consistantly and then to show that it exists everywhere by looking through a telescope and seeing planets move around stars, which move consistantly around their galaxy. They also saw light from distant objects bent by closer objects.

Anyone willing to go in it with me?

From my 8th grade science books...
