Presumably if you trust self-signed certificates, anyone can launch a MITM attack against your server with a self-signed certificate. Google would trust the self-signed certificate as being your own and then relinquish your login credentials when it attempts to retrieve the mail.
But why does Google care? If someone wants to run their own server that could be open to a MITM attack, that's their decision. It's not a good idea, but it's got nothing to do with Google and doesn't effect the security of Google's service at all.
Yes, I DO mean the stuff that, quite demonstrably, very few people care about
The people who don't care about it are the ones suddenly surprised when Facebook doesn't respect their privacy. Of course they aren't interested in your privacy, the entire point of the business model is to take data about you and sell it to someone else.
You're right, most people probably don't care if they're the product or the customer... but they probably should.
You know, those little things like GSM, WCDMA, GPRS, LTE and EGDE.
So you're saying that Ericsson has patents on required standards. That means they're supposed to be fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory in the licensing. Samsung isn't renewing the license (they were paying before) because Ericsson is supposedly significantly increasing the rates (according to Samsung).
Is Ericsson significantly increasing Samsung's license rates for a FRAND patent? Is this a level playing field?
Insanity has nothing to do with whether or not you will lose a case. The only thing that matters is if you can afford a better lawyer than the other guy.
Megaupload and the various services like that store, and share if they wish, whatever its users put up on it
That's exactly what TPB does (except they don't store the material). There are torrents for LOTS of different things on TPB, some of which is copyright infringement.

The radiation exposure from an X-ray backscatter scanner is 0.05 uSv/yr.
I assume you got that number from the TSA?
X-ray backscatter scanners emit a measured amount of X-rays
Measured by who?
You get a much higher radiation dose from the flight (less atmosphere to block cosmic rays) than you do from the scanners.
According to who, the TSA?
The medical danger should be a concern to everyone, but evidence suggests that the danger is negligible (though possibly nonzero).
What evidence?
Obviously I exaggerate, but really, the number of people this effects is statistically irrelevant to Google.
Which makes you wonder... what's the point? Why is Google doing this if it is statistically irrelevant?
What this move does is it eliminates all the rogue "I set up an SMTP server incidentally with my new slackware install" spam problems.
No it doesn't. This move is about POP, not SMTP. It has nothing to do with stopping spam.

Hell, the knowledge that any of the faculty might have the equipment to put his rampage to an end may have even prevented the incident entirely.
Considering they took their own life at the end, I'm not sure the threat of getting shot would have been much of a deterrent.
You're right, technically it's a rectangle with rounded corners. Not just rounded corners by itself. Totally different.
So they significantly increased the rates for everyone (non-discriminatory)? Why were they increased (fair/reasonable)?
There really isn't much between paintball/airsoft and lethal firearms. I wonder if there would be a market for people wanting something like that.
There is... air rifles.

Yep. Facebook's users are the product. That's a big part of the problem right there.

Unless the knowledge was already wide spread.
What happens if you patent a minor tweak that everyone needs?

They could have, and should have. They didn't because the jury foreman, who had an agenda, conned them in to ignoring the evidence.

Because there are a lot of people like me which simply look at google new, read the exerpt, and don't bother with the full article.
That means the full article has no value. That's the Publisher's biggest problem, not competition from Google News type services.
An ISP has a lot more money/lawyers than a TOR node owner.
I thought it was code for "I don't know the answer, so I'm asking a question".
What percentage of that warming comes from man-made causes?
Of course it makes no sense, but that doesn't stop some people from falling for the RIAA/MPAA FUD.
Just read the raw binary stream and convert it to video in your head. You can't do that?
