Most of the income Google makes comes from people looking to game the internet for money. So if Google's source of income comes from evil people, how are they clean?
Google sells our information by what we like. They do it in a way that somewhat protects our privacy and it's part of their service. Gmail targets adds directly to you based on keywords in your emails. If you had enough money you could know what people are talking about by how the adds played out. Therefore there is no real privacy on Google email, and Google reads our emails.
Google collects all kinds of websites and offers search. They build stats and sell off residual information based on information collected. This is why they have so many PHDs there, so they can understand what everything means on the internet to capitalize on it. Okay they say they are not evil, but that doesn't mean they don't sell the info to people who are fucking evil. In fact most of the people who deal with Google daily for business transactions (ad sense, ad words...etc) would eat babies, given the chance.
I might be alone here but spiders revolt me to a point where I simply respect them and leave them alone.
But that said, Google operates a spider, pretty much. So we have to look at any potential spider on the internet like we might look at Google. If he followed the Robots.txt as Facebook set it up and he didn't try to misunderstand it, then there isn't anything they can do. Although, I'm pretty sure the Facebook EULA says you can't spider them so he's SOL anyway if that's the case. This should be a long and drawn out case unless there is a settlement.
Facebook is ripe. People put up EVERYTHING about themselves on there. I never accept a friend request unless I know the person and I offer a challenge question often. If it's not responded to adequately, I simply ignore them. But in the end there isn't much you can do. If you put it on Facebook -- consider it public, like if it was in the phone book.
Acers used to run pretty hot if I remember right. How is yours for being warm to the touch?
iPad is not a tablet. You cannot do anything on it but whatever Apple lets you. No, a real tablet would be fully configurable and open to modding the software and even firmware. These control freaks in business now are going to lose everything. Apple would have cleaned house if iPad was a tablet without a keyboard, running OSX or better, and able to do anything you want -- even if you want to dual boot OSes.
*Everything* about it is hearsay until either someone succeeds in getting an FOI request honoured or the thing gets ratified and it's too late to do anything about it.
Well you can stop using the Internet, right? I mean we weren't born with it. I guess I'll miss Slashdot and Google, but I'll be able to GO OUTSIDE!
He and Ralph Yarro (the owner) get away scott free
I'm certain anyone named Scott would object to being linked with the likes of these two scumbags. No these guys have achieved a whole other level of freedom from responsibility. They are above the law. And nobody is going to do a damn thing about it.
Just like the bailout scam. Just like the housing market scam. The big rich guys don't have to worry about a thing because nobody will stop them. Right?
I have decided that in light of our depleting ozone layer, that I will begin charging for everyone who is breathing my air. You see, it was only my great ancestor Muk'targ of the Great Cave who was in charge of all the sky. His Gods told him so. So therefore he has passed this great gift to me and me alone. So as of right now, the entire population of the Earth owes me for each breath of air they take. Now if you can't pay, that's okay too. Because I will use my new portal device to adapt the air you breathe so you only have to pay for what you use. Now if you happen to die because you don't pay, how could you expect this to be my problem? Oh and the rates will be raised very little. Maybe only 2000% per year.
Anyone got a mirror for that GSachs code? I need some jet fuel and a bunch of dolphin-safe tattoo ink. I need tattooed dolphins for my lagoon, inside my volcano hideaway -- and the stock market hasn't been helping this lair construction very much thanks to the competition and the high priced assassinations required to not lose everything I've worked so hard towards.
Slashdot Mirror
These guys like walls.
"Wolololo"
Damn Americans always interfering!!!
Whats stopping terrorists from castrating themselves and replacing their dicks with rubber dicks that have explosive and carpet cutters in there?

Disregard this, he settled.

It was reported today that the United Kingdom will now be referred to as the Yuletide United Kingdom, or YUK for short.
Depends on which vampire you are:

Joomla is good for some things, but for most things Wordpress or even Google pages is better.

Music that is inspired by real events and phenomena slightly outside the grasp of a layman is always awesome. :D
With frickin' fusion lasers!
Get off my lawn, okay?

I'm not sure that a charge-by-minute scenario for high-speed is really in my best interest.
I would love to see new forms of power generation that catch all the hot air we get from websites like Digg.

I'm more curious about how they feel in regards to North Korea.
Nerd: Sir, I am afraid you have a case of PEBKAC.
Guy: What? Is that bad?
Nerd: Go take a course and it will get better.
That's not what they said. They said Windows needs to INCLUDE the browser(s) a user wants it to INCLUDE.
Easy! We insist that MSFT give our browsers the same POWER that IE has over the OS, which would COMPEL Microsoft to release their OS source code.
OSS just ate MSFT.
During tough economic times, luxuries go up in price because fewer people can afford to buy them.
Video games are luxuries.
No.
Also, if we involve windows with cars, predictable results will ensue.
