As Oracle get ready to close Sun's doors, they are looking for that quick money hit. How convenient that they own Java and can sue whom ever they desire for any reason seeing that a large percentage of web apps are written in Java. One evil company vs the other evil company, does the final resolution really matter?
At my daughter's (who is 10 years old) school they strongly recommend no Radio, TV or Computer until 12 years old, yes it's Waldorf. I am a technologist (Linux/Unix administrator), but I have found that my daughter's desire to draw or read or write rather than be on the computer or watching TV very gratifying. I hope they consider this kind of policy in public schools, IMHO t would help children have better relationships (friends, family...etc) and be happier.
Whatever the pros and cons are, this is a system that is prone to corruption and smacks of "big brother". How much longer before there are video camera's in every dorm room and then you are told what to do when to do it. I certainly don't want my daughter spied on my the "thought police".
I also don't like my tax dollars going to this. Hopefully someone will do something to destroy the sensors.
By that logic we should all be prison with our genitalia cut out, fat cut off and decapitated. Sounds like good cause for a robot run world (anyone say Terminator).
"If you spend a lot of time with obese friends you are more likely to find obesity forgivable and become obese yourself."
So now obesity should be illegal and is "awful"? Wow is this wrong, on so many levels....Why do people think that empathy is such a bad thing?

Funny how these fundamentalists (Christian that is) are quick to condemn any other religion, and yet here they behave like the fundamentalist Muslims. What a bunch of hypocrites passing lies off as fact. If my daughter was in public school I would make sure she knows not to believe any of it.
It does not seem to point the finger at the victim, but they do point the finger at the parents/school system. We need to get our children to be able to socialize in a positive manner and it needs to start when they are infants.
The social skills is why my 9 year old daughter (adopted from China) goes to Waldorf. They stress face-to-face socialization, shunning computers, TV, movies, and radio until the children are 12 years. Of course the media cannot be avoided these days so we make sure to explain that TV,Movies,computer,radio is not real life and we have plenty of play dates with other children. I also like the fact that they let the children try to work out their differences themselves, instead of the teacher immediately intervening. I have noticed that children who come to Waldorf from the public schools sometimes have difficulty with social skills.
Time to enact legislation that separates the government from corporations, much like separation of church and state. Pliable/compliant/paid off corporate governments must be stopped. No government should ever be "compelled" to defend private corporations interests.
Well, all the big record companies will go out of business soon anyways. It's really a waiting game.
Couch potatoism might be to blame. Our culture is based on watching TV and being on the computer (sniker) most of the time.
Wanna help stem the bad health, go with your kids for a walk or hike. Walk the dog. Get offa the couch.
I dunno about the rest of you but this is one more stick of wood in the civil war fire that is slowly burning through out this country. Loss of jobs, loss of housing and now more loss of privacy, when does it end.

You know Apple won't give users what they want. Like Micro$oft they won't win this war.
Someone will get around their detection scheme

When you allow money to run you. This is an epidemic with companies whose sole purpose in life is money. A sad waste of life!
Why do these companies insist on having executives being their spokespersons. No one trusts them or believes a word out their mouths.
Agreed. Our prison system is a commercial concern so now they want to keep the prisons 100% populated.
Well put. Our tax $$ at work.

Yep, manage expectations. Don't let the expectations manage you.
His involvement will follow him forever, conviction or not. Basically, his life is over.
Just make the Internet illegal or too expensive for the the regular folks. We all know it's only populated by consumers of child porn and pirates.
