What is the benefit of this (from a developer/website perspective) over using OpenID? I can't really see the difference... obviously I'm missing something fundamental...

Ok, let's err on the side of Google for now (although, still not sure I can fully trust them, esp with all this news). Still, great work and thanks for the additional info. Here's to hoping one day EVERYTHING will be encrypted by

Even static HTML is no longer static, with people's knowledge of JavaScript increasing and great libraries like jQuery/YUI etc bringing more power to the masses. I mean, think about how dynamic you can make a site with the use of

While I agree with the sentiments, Google most likely does not delete the unencrypted mail, so even if the government hasn't stored the content of the mail they will just request copies of all your deleted mail too. Certainly going for

Encryption would be helpful but if the government compels your email provider to hand over your stored emails or just email headers they can still get a lot of information about you Exactly, this the line that the government has currently

I think 4.5 years in office is a little late for scape-goats now. It's not like he can use the "I didn't know, I'll put it right" excuse.

It seems like the law enforcement/spy agencies modus operandi: do it illegally for a few years, and during this time lobby Congress and the president to make it "legal". I guess they are operating under "It's easi

No, your first point. The US has been just as responsible mass death. And of course it changes a lot. Don't be obtuse. Of course it's remarkable, the only other reason you ever hear of 3000+ people being killed in the space of a

I think hate is a very harsh word. But I agree with your sentiments about the UK spying on everyone - esp given EU specific privacy laws and recent cases of EU law against Google, Facebook etc. Pretty disgusting really given all the rhetori

How about sending all that meaningless bullsht emails with an additional notice, like we have for confidentially along the lines of, and then suing the US government if your stuff ever turns up (yes, I know, it's difficult). This mess

That's really interesting. We (people in the UK) have long been complaining that our Government stringently applies every single EU directive and human rights law but other countries just seem to ignore them (rightfully so IMO, sometim

What do you mean? What context, the last few weeks, the last few years or the last few decades? They're doing nothing that you and I couldn't do already, as humans, without any special trickery. Just automating it. If you tweet so

Woah. The scene of that accident looks straight out of a movie scene, looks too unreal to be a normal car accident!

I remember reading about Hushmail a few years back, encryption was built in the web based email system with PGP, the use would never need to worry about encrypting the mail since it was baked in out of the box, esp between hushmail accounts

I starting to get the feeling that the best way to "encrypt" my data and stay safe from the watchful eyes of all the various agencies around the world is to just to go back to good old fashioned mail that physically gets posted in

Why would you expect the US government, or ANY government to respect the right of privacy of citizens of other countries? I want to see what the reaction is when we find out that some foreign country is spying on all communications of Ame

This is already the case, most of our customers will not host on the cloud (even though it makes business sense to do so) because of this exact reason.

Except it will make no difference when Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook etc just hand over your data anyway. Nice plugin though, installed.

Awesome pictures, I've been to a few of those places when I was backpacking SE Asia for 6 months just over 4 years ago. Makes me want to pack my bags right now and leave again! Thanks for bringing back the memories of good times :)

That's brilliant. One of the business development guys I work for was showing me a company that aggregates social media feeds for integration into your website, I asked how these get filtered, "no, they just get everything".

Life is too short to worry about every single detail. If you worry about everything, you will never experience anything. I think you're doing the right thing, and as long as tax is being paid, you will more than likely be fine IMO. Goo
