This is exactly why it should not be legal to send out automated DMCA notifications. Far too much stuff is caught in the crossfire when the traditional response from the industry to a counterclaim is to reassert their initial automated claim regardless if it's accurate or not.
There should be a large fine you don't need to sue to make stick for all "mistaken" claims. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.
Wow, the level of idiocy you bleed out in your post kind of surprised me there for a moment. I was not aware that pointing out factual inaccuracies brands someone a "hater" and a "whiny bitch." I like how you also apparently gleaned from my message that I'm a Facebook user who is openly opposed to Google+? Cute.
For someone who "doesn't really give a fuck," you sure seem to be pretty uppity and defensive.
I don't even hate Google+, but the active account statistic is worthless.
I've been using AIM since the 90s... I was using the 5.9 version which was basically meant for Windows 98 because all it did was chat, opposed to their newer monstrosities. I only recently started using Trillian instead of the old aim client, which is just another client similar to Pidgin in functionality.
...calm down, Ignoring the fact that Google+ has 390Million Active accounts
Which doesn't mean a whole lot, since having a Google account at all now is basically a Google+ account. Signing up for Youtube means you are an "Active" google+ account.
I want to agree with you here, but what the story simply calls "mudslinging" does give me room for pause. According to their legal representation, this access has happened over the period of several weeks, and they systematically downloaded all the records it could in this period of time while attempting to get into even more nooks and crannies of the servers.
Why would they be sitting on this, continuously prodding the site for over a month while downloading all the records if they were simply practicing responsible disclosure with nothing more than journalistic intent?
You would think accessing even one or a couple of these sensitive files would have been enough to judge that this content is facing the public and should be reported, rather than downloading all they could over the span of a month (and maybe even longer since these access records seemed to be pruned after 30 days).
Search warrants state in writing exactly what they are allowed to search and seize. Medical records were not in the scope of the search warrant, thus they had no right to go anywhere near it. It doesn't matter if they were there for a legitimate reason; they broke some serious laws if this event is true.
I was surprised to hear this as well. I knew they could train dolphins to do various things, but I thought it was more of a parlor trick and less something genuinely useful could come of it.
I have never experienced Google Japan returning Chinese sites regardless of characters I may be using, be it kanji, hiragana/katakana, or hell even english queries, and I have to frequently perform such queries...
I'm more thrown off by the tone of the narration in the video. The way she talks in a monotonous tone through the whole thing and the way she adds "he said/she said" to attribute a quotation sounded off because there was no pause or change in tone between it and the quotation itself. I felt like I was in school again listening to some home-made video on lunar impacts by a teacher who has never read lines aloud before.
He didn't argue that point. The point he was making was that Nintendo is in the right legally; not morally.
Nintendo's statement is ass-backwards. Their response reads as if it's making them out to be the good guys, saying "Unlike others, we're not just taking it down" but they're talking about groups like the **AA, rather than groups in their own form of media: video games. No other game developer sans a weird slip up by Sega does this sort of thing. So really, Nintendo are worse than just about every other game developer/publisher regarding lets plays, presently.
The problem Mozilla finds itself in now is that since a large number of people use it, it's harder to make such changes. You might think this is a no brainer, but people who use Disqus or other services which are built around third party cookies, of which there are many, might disagree with their page or sites they visit breaking and either not knowing the cause, or not being knowledgeable enough to fix it.
This wasn't such a problem when using Firefox was more of a techie thing. Now they need to tread lightly. It'll happen; they just need to consider what happens to the users who are affected negatively by this.
So either do the right thing try to convince your idiot constituency that this is vastly overblown assuming you're not also an idiot and potentially lose your job, or do the wrong thing, helping to feed the fear, and likely keep your job.
So we have another metric from which to derive evil: a politician is proportionately evil to the amount of time they've spent in office.
What exactly would that avoid? It's not the original admins who are doing this, so who exactly among the people doing this, delivering a secure message, would you trust?
Sure, sites that used demonoid as the sole tracker will be harmed by this, however many torrents that were on demonoid had multiple trackers. Those are still working quite well. It will take some take for a relaunch to get back on its feet, but it is certainly nice to see.

No more public-static-void-main-String[]-args just to start a program! Dart’s simple top-level main() function is all you need.
...Is this actually a deal breaker for some people in other languages?
Are you actually trying to make a point somewhere?

Only older accounts were able to remain separate. Any new accounts (be it YouTube, Gmail, or any other services they offer) are Google+.

Dropping XMPP support is "evil"? Your threshold for doing evil is set very low.

I'm kind of curious how long AIM will last.

Art form? There was nothing particularly artistic about lets plays on the something awful forums.
The sign of a company that's running out of money and has limited sales.
Haha, no.

I think you've got one too many loose screws, buddy.

9 out of 10 AAA-titles on Windows require admin privileges due to their DRM scheme.
Bullshit.
