   > Wikileaks is using him for their own goals Sadly, it appears Wikileak's own goal is to feed the ego of Assange. They do valuable work, they just need a leader who doesn't want to be a cult leader.

   "My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star!" I know, I know: this isn't Reddit, but I couldn't resist.

   Thank god. I hate Silverlight. It's so resource intensive. EDIT: I just felt like ranting against Silverlight some more. The only reason I use Silverlight is because of Netflix. I run it in Chrome on my Mac Air. Besides being buggy a

   I would agree that Assange has quite the ego. WikiLeaks does valuable work and their leader is an ass---both can be true. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

   I don't know who scrawled that graffiti "Zagat can suck my XX" in their office, but I doubt it was a Googler. I've been to many of their bathrooms and 1. there's no graffiti, and 2. if there were, it'd be relat

   But are they allowed to use it to tell people that conventional car dealers are using the law to screw over consumers and therefore chip away at their political power?

   Tell me that the homeowners who put up the misleading signs get fined, preferably heavily, knowing how wealthy those homeowners likely are.

    People bemoan how all the smart people ate working in finance. Look on the bright side: they're not working for the NSA.

    Given how prominently Woz features as well in the trailer the tagline "one man..." comes off just inaccurate.

    Huh? Google's reputation in shreds? How so? If you're referring to NSA issue, that's the American government's reputation you're talking about. Google (and almost every other big tech company) was simply compelled t

    I've met Matei in passing through programming contests (where he is also a star) but even in those brief moments, his brilliance is pretty apparent. Good on him for the recognition---he deserves it.

    That's a lot of condescension in one sentence. Do you live in an American city with a large homeless population and can argue otherwise? I live in NYC and while I care about the problems of "the poor", I assure you the worrie

    I live in NYC, and perhaps German homeless are a better-mannered folk than out here. Should you ever visit however, here is a tip: if, on a busy day, the subway cars are all packed except for one which is suspiciously empty---avoid it. A ho

    This makes it ideal for cities like NYC, where most people do not have doormen to receive packages and thus need to be home to sign for them. Being able to schedule a window for delivery would be most useful, rather than having to be home w
