I agree. First of all, what I have read so far, we the "public" don't know the capabilities of that agency, so by definition, you can't know whether some technique will protect you. Correct me if I am wrong, but a common

Here is the article I read about this issue: http://grugq.github.io/blog/2013/03/12/anonymity-is-hard/ "Hiding anomalous activity is hard, but vitally important. The problem with many security

This is a nice technology, but if it is really supposed to protect you from a serious thread, you first need to define, who your adversary is and how strong are his capabilities. For example, if your adversary is some big national agency, y

He is exaggerating about the "big Windows 8 and Windows RT user interface failure". As a Windows user since version 3.1, I can say that Windows 8 is IMHO the best Windows version overall; they just made an arguably wrong decision

I was thinking about this solution, and I also have a truecrypt drive (locally). But if you changed just one file in the truecrypted drive, shouldn't then Dropbox re-sync the whole encrypted drive?

But how big is that volume? Shouldn't then Dropbox always upload the whole volume, even if you just made one change in one file?

In this sentence, I would prefer Google to say: "First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government— OR ANY OTHER ENTITY - direct OR INDIRECT OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF access to our servers. [c

No, the quote is still vague and I agree with Nelson69. He could easily say that "we don't provide any access to gov, nor to their subcontractors nor to any other entity,..." - if that would be true.

I agree, the wording "direct access" is indeed very suspicious, and I tend to believe Arrington might be into something: http://uncrunched.com/2013/06/06/triangulating-on-truth-the-... ; I re-read th

I have found only two such sites so far: 1) reddit - here, you have to subscribe to the right mix of subreddits according to your interests 2) Google+ - also quite good, but one needs to do some work, namely to find the right communities, p

But what could Robert do better? He answered why he likes Glass, and after a few sentences, he was always interrupted by the interviewer. He couldn't provide any more insight in such a short time he was given. But I agree with you regarding

Why exactly do you consider Robert to be "naive"?
435.
by greyman 13y ago
I don't see it that way. Scoble fared quite well, but Paxman always interrupted him after a few seconds for no particular reason, so Robert basically wasn't allowed to explain himself properly. In my opinion, Glass is an useful device, whic

Honest question: Why larger space between lines should make the HN more readable? I don't get it. Sorry to sound negative, but I feel it is less readable, because I need to scroll more and see a less text on a screen.

I sometimes use it when I've got that file as an attachment from someone..I just forward it and it lands there...or, more precisely I used that before on Dropbox. Now I use skydrive so I might as well try this service.

Like the author of the article, I also use more than one service for bookmarking - Pocket for Read later articles, Google bookmarks for tagged bookmarks for unspecified future use, and toolbar in Chrome for all other. But I don't agree with

Countless people and companies do emailing others to send them something. If you automate and monetize it, it is a spamming.
