This article is stupid gossip with almost no content. I don't really care who's dating who. I expected an honest article Google's business dealings, not something lifted from Star Magazine about how Brad is mad at Angelina.
The article may seem that way, but it does provide an opportunity to discuss the trustworthiness of Google; a subject that bears serious consideration, especially in light of their surprising stance on China.
I, for one, do not trust Google. More importantly, though, I do not trust the U.S. government, which has the power to peel open Google and scoop out anything and everything they have on record about the use of their services. And as the U.S. edges slowly toward tyranny through devices like the War on Terror, the question becomes more and more dire. I mean, does it really take much to imagine the Department of Homeland Security incrementally broadening what defines a "domestic terrorist"?
I honestly don't see how Google's business model of collecting specific user data for use in targetted advertising can be made to not leave users vulnerable to an over-reaching government.
Why not compare apples to apples? I'd more readily compare the two full-height PCI cards to the full-height Hauppauge 250 ($127) rather than the half-height 150. Of course, that may not have yielded the result the author intended.
The Gorre & Daphetid was the primary inspiration for me to build one as a kid. I could never duplicate the sheer vertical scale of John Allen's masterpiece, but I did the best I could to build winding tunnels and towering tressels.
John Allen and the Gorre & Daphetid - RIP

To be fair, fetal tissue research has not been blocked. Only federal funding thereof - privately funded research may proceed unabated.
