What has Cerf had to say about NSA spying on Americans? Has he expressed outrage? Concern? No. As a public spokesman for Google, he has offered no solutions to increase the privacy protections for Americans. Rather, he seems to claim tha

Vint represents the interests of Google - a giant corporation who's very reason for existence is to track every aspect of your life. Google is Big Business and Big Surveillance all in one. At its core, Google is opposed to anonymity

Who in the room was the advocate for open internet? I don't want my future to look like the Apple Store or AT&T's closed network. I won't accept it.

Aah - that makes sense - NUC doesn't have GPIOs and isn't designed for interfacing with custom hardware.

Of the Bay-Area congress people I know (Eshoo, Lofgren, Honda, Speier, Pelosi), only one rejected limits on NSA. Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi, representative of San Francisco, voted in favor of unlimited NSA wiretaps for all of your phone and emai

Performance anxiety for a whole class of devices that DIDN'T EVEN EXIST a few years ago, enabling GIANT NEW MARKETS. 'Our world is coming to an end.' Gotta love it.
