I originally had links to my business, my resume, and also personal items such as photo's of my son and other family members. Seeing as my business is online chat / community development it was obviously not in my best interests to be linked to the subject matter of this book so I removed that. And of course, I didn't want people who were interested in the subject of pedophilia or molestation viewing pictures of my baby boy.
Granted this latest development will stem the flow of traffic to her domain eventually, but will it ever be the same? Maybe this will quickly fade away in a week or so, but given the amount of publicity this has gotten penguin should have to answer for something at least in my opinion, rather than just giving a backhanded "so... we were wrong. but we didn't actually do anything wrong. all that stuff you say we did we didn't do or have any intention of doing" type of comment.
If I recall correctly, In Larry Niven's book Ringworld there was armor like they were talking about that hardened when it got hit. I remember reading it and thinking how cool it would be if they could really make it. It was demonstrated protecting against both bullets and hand to hand weapons in the books, and was a bit heavy weight wise.
This seems like it could become rather popular, after all people like money. Will the developers at mozilla all of a sudden find themselves with bugs that aren't?
Don't get me wrong I think this is a great idea, and as others have said it should really spur on the tightening of security for the browser.
