  1. Re:Of Minor Importance on NBC Apologizes For Editing Zimmerman 911 Call · · Score: 1

    Some witness accounts, and IIRC the official police report state that Zimmerman actually headed back to his vehicle after being told not to follow, and was approached and attacked from behind. I wasn't there, didn't witness it, but this is of course why we have a judicial system at all. I hope you're never one of my jurors.

    I have to login to Netflix on my PS3, IPhone, Wii... Also I'm not sure when Silverlight or whatever was first introduced on Netflix streaming it wasn't a PC only service.

    TSA hasn't caught a single terrorist in over a decade of existence. The fact that they are still getting (increased) funding is hard to imagine.

    That means it's working!

    We're sorry, you've exceeded the character limit for this post.

  7. Re:Good intentions pave the road to a stalking cha on World's Creepiest iPhone App Pulled After Outcry · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the part where I explained about the opposite party being aware of the intention. Rather than an app that simply crawls Foursquare for women who have checked in nearby. The way I read the article (the summary, forgive me if I'm wrong) these women had no idea their information was being sent to this third party app for this purpose.

  8. Re:Good intentions pave the road to a stalking cha on World's Creepiest iPhone App Pulled After Outcry · · Score: 1

    The similar apps are most likely related strictly to "friends" or at least women who are actively interested in providing their information with the intention of hooking up. Why the hell do you need an app to tell you there are women somewhere? Couldn't you just go to the bar and see a woman there? Do people really need to break the ice with a random text message from a stranger? That IS creepy...
    At least with Facebook/Foursquare check-ins it's assumed that you're actually friends with the person. Even in that case it'd be nice to have a little correspondence and plan to meet up before hand.

    They should have went with a business modeled tablet. Something specifically for scheduling, email, perhaps something easy to type documents on, look at slides, PDF, and spreadsheets. Surely they could have made something relatively affordable.

    Doesn't exactly refute my claim.
    Was just a slight quip anyway.

  15. Re:Okay then... on NSA Chief Denies Claims of Domestic Spying · · Score: 1

    If the NSA isn't spying on American citizens, then why are they so steadfastly opposed to EFF, EPIC, etc. trying to obtain that information from them in court?

    What is their explanation about the monitoring rooms in AT&T's facilities that tap into domestic fiber?

    They don't want to spy on American citizens...
    They just want the technology in place to do so.

    While ultimately it is Google's choice to take down videos, it is simply because they would prefer to obey the law. Which they did not write. You're well within your rights of free speech to offend anyone you like. You cannot however break the law, nor would any respectful business allow and facilitate that through equipment they maintain, and offer to you to use for free.
