GRPN reported $1,354,800,000 in gross billings for the quarter ending March 31st. You data shows $465,383,098. Still more scraping to do.

1) Their actions don't make sense. The law is what it is. 2) In this case the Feds had already paid them a visit. If they are trying to run a covert surveillance operation they really suck at it. Even without the FBI visit I am still going

Still doesn't make much sense. The client is going to figure it out. Also, a search warrant doesn't give the Feds the ability to put it back. Maybe with a national security letter for the purpose of putting spyware on it? But even then the

A smaller issue in this story but still important; what kind of data center gets a search warrant and server pulled, and doesn't immediately notify their client? Are they legally prohibited from doing so? Then they let the FBI put the possi

Yes. At one point in our history the criminal justice discussions were about how best to rehabilitate the offender rather than punishment. Punishment that neither makes the victim whole or rehabilitates the offender is just useless vengeanc

I think Enron is actually a good example of what I mean. I maintain that any generally competent professional can have any legitimate accounting practice explained to them. "I don't get it, tell me where these numbers are coming from," will

I don't really buy that. If CFO and auditors are doing their job any reasonably competent business professional can provide adequate oversight. If the board member isn't capable of adequate oversight the problem lies with the financial info

"new ones" could include pretty much anything. "raidi's [source|scripts|recordings|photography] by Google!" The "limited" purpose is so broad Google could resell your video archives to Netflix or your photos to Getty.

I live in Michigan. It was bizarre. Pushing 80-85 even before the official start of spring. At a time of year 20 degrees and a foot of snow just elicits shrugs and mumbled cursing. For you SV hackers, imagine how freaky it would be to be gr
