I see what you're getting at, and if a news article is about a particular instance of something occurring, I can see it working. Journalists do also report on emerging and widespread trends, however.

The term comes from those who have been empowered by these services to go into business sharing what they already have, e.g. sharing their residence with Airbnb, or their commute to work with Sidecar. Obviously people aren't sharing th

Don't police and other low-flying aircraft (e.g. news helicopters) tend to coexist without issue, for example during televised car chases?

> I disagree, the data exists, this is fundamental, we are not going towards data impoverishment, we are necessarily living in an environment rich with data. I rather have accurate data by far. It may be an inexorable trend, but for the

I know this is absolutely not the case in large parts of the world, but in many developed countries it does takes some degree of desire to remain street homeless for any significant period of time. The support is often there for the taking,

It is without question the motivation. This simple act has embarrassed an entire industry, including countless highly-paid public officials; the very same people who determine how much resource is dedicated to soothing their bruised egos.

This is just splitting hairs over definitions. The APA are not the ultimate arbiters of what is and is not a sexual orientation, and if anything, the fact DSM-5 referred to it as a sexual orientation lends credence to the view that it is as

This is just how things work in a lot of industries. You promise the world to make a sale, then once you've signed, work frantically to make the vision you sold a reality. If you were open and honest, you wouldn't sell a thing. Th

Although a valuable cautionary tale, is it really wise to make a post like this, associated to the company name, for the whole world to see? As a post-mortem, I would understand, but surely not a good idea when your company is still trading

This is the new Dropbox, with Condoleezza Rice et al on the board. How do you grow your installed base? Give a big corporation a load of money to install it on their customers' devices, whether they like it or not.

I'm not assuming anything. As a European citizen my rights are enshrined in the ECHR. In April the European Court of Justice ruled the previous 2006 Data Retention Directive invalid, stating that it severely interfered with two of thes

Disgraceful. All we have to do is mention "national security" and we can enshrine whichever human rights violation we fancy into legislation?

Bravo to the Guardian for instigating the Streisand effect in this instance. By way of example, I knew nothing of the Dougie McDonald scandal until this article, which not only brought the scandal to my attention, but also suggests someone

Strange as it might sound, I'm rather envious of Nikki. Although the business didn't work out, to have gained so much life experience at such a young age is incredible.

Link to the twitter at the bottom of the page is broken; should be 'alerts' instead of 'alert' Also, this kind of use of FIFA trademarks will almost certainly result in a DMCA takedown notice. Very unwise.
