  1. I guess slashdot would be on the blacklist on India Joins China in Censoring Websites · · Score: 2, Informative

    Web sites can be blocked if they contain pornography, speeches of hate, contempt, slander or defamation, or if they promote gambling, racism, violence or terrorism.

    My, that's awfully broad.

  2. Trust issue on Google Launches Cost Per Action AdSense · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How do I trust that the advertisers will accurate report sales generated by my leads?

  3. Destroy it yourself on 'Destroyed' Hard Drive Found At Flea Market · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the information on the hard drive was so sensitive, why didn't the couple destroy it themselves? Even if Best Buy did destroy it, an employee would have had access to it anyway before its destruction. That's a security risk either way.

  4. Real reason for all the secrecy on Crashing the Wiretapper's Ball · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The restrictions on civilians attending the law enforcement agency sessions were, I gather, a cheap marketing gesture to justify their $6,500-per-head entrance fee with suggestions of secret information that the average network-savvy geek wouldn't have known.

    Money is usually the simplest explanation.

  5. Easier click fraud on Google, Submission AdSense and NoFollow Letdown · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why bother setting up entire web sites to generate fake clicks? Just submit content to a bunch of these revenue-sharing sites and hide under the cover of their traffic. Spammer's paradise!

  6. Investors would freak on Microsoft in Talks To Acquire Ebay · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Considering that eBay has a market cap that's 20% of Microsoft's, such an acquisition would probably cause a panic among investors and kill the stock. What they're more likely talking about is a partnership/alliance in certain areas.

  7. Any other clarificaitons? on Sony Refutes 'No Used Game Sales' Rumour · · Score: 1, Informative

    I hope Sony also vociferously refutes speculation of a $600 price tag for the PS3.

  8. The key phrase on Lotus vs. SharePoint · · Score: 2, Informative

    "SharePoint on the other hand is the relatively new kid on the block, and while it doesn't have the complete feature set that Lotus Notes offers, it does have a leg up in terms of Microsoft Office integration and ease-of-use."

  9. Buggy code is sold because it is demanded on Why Buggy Software Gets Shipped · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In many cases, the customer *needs* the software now, bugs be damned. If you don't, your company goes under.
