They may not store messages within the Whatsapp system, but facebook is a data mining company first and foremost and an advertising company second. I think it would be short-sighted to assume they aren't storing your messages somewhere

For me, the fact that Microsoft worked directly with the FBI to integrate OneDrive into PRISM makes the whole product something I would never touch, so it's great to see alternatives picking up the slack. http://cryptome.org

It's likely the biggest power drain because of processor consumption because many people spend a lot of time on a laptop on the internet. Further, if you read the article, you'd know that this problem does not affect macs.

Since we're being pedantic, many cities have different rules for what is allowed in a front yard vs. a back yard, which may actually be the problem... this often leads to the occasional news story about the town that forces someone to

Although the change from a top bar to a full-on pop-up box likely had to do with visibility, the biggest problem is that it now steals focus from the user. I don't care where the option is on the screen as long as it's not randoml
