she's friends with a long list of influential tech and media folks
If these people are influential or media folks as it says, then they probably have tons of requests all the time. They are "important" people that love to be heard. The more followers/friends/whatever they have the better. They aren't going to spend a lot of time sifting through the requests to see who's real or not.
Watch, apple will force this to be the only way to do things on their devices, and force their customers who buy their crap anyways instead of taking a stand. Its what they do.

a cyber attack upon ones self would presumably be put along the same lines as a suicide bomber. Find out what country it came from and declare war upon that country!

I'm actually re-reading the books right now. I just finished Life, the universe and everything, and am starting on so long and thanks for all the fish. I hadn't read them in about 10 years and i'm right there with you, makes me want to watch the old BBC version again!
that's like saying calculus is easy just because you know how to do it, and someone more, ignorant if you will, would have to be shown how to use it. you grew up with computers, so you know the ways to manipulate a comptuer already. Todays OS's are VASTLY more complex than, say, DOS
dammit I'm all out of mod points! I wish i could just have my cable provider cancel stations like E! because there is NOTHING OF VALUE there. But unfortunately, Google is a business, and it aims for what the masses want (and will bring in ad revenue). Intelligent people that dont obsess over the personal lives of people they don't/will never know are a definite minority.
Then they need to live within their means. Unfortunately though, most people don't understand this and think they are entitled to what they haven't EARNED.
Orly? So if I leave all of my information unprotected on my laptop and it gets stolen, all I have to do is contact my ISP and everything is safe? And here I thought encryption, passwords, etc were helping, I'm, such, a, fool!,!,!,!,! Hey everyone, my password is chol5era, go ahead try to use it, hardware and ISP will protect me!
It's really more about the lack of quality of news on the website that people are annoyed by, a slashvertisement if you will. it's the way local news is going too, "American idol local sports team something about puppies and less, not news at 11"

Same thing all rejects of morality do: write a book, get a TV show, or run for some kind of political position!
It's not libel if it is the truth!

And these defaults are in no way changeable through some kind of settings menue?
