   Mr. Obama, stop the madness now! You once have been a civil rights activist and you have been awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable, to have switched the camp in just a few years? There is nothing w

   Very good thoughts. At least there should be a README. I think about creating a template for READMEs.

   People in design agencies have simply no chance to work with GIMP. If they cannot open files from recent versions of PS, they cannot do their job. I have seen this a lot. People send you files, which you can only open (properly) with a rece

   When it comes to hardware, I would prefer machines that are younger than 20 years. Electronic parts can have a limited lifetime. Regarding software I propose the well tested and well understood systems.

   > The sad thing is that the probability of this data being misused for political reasons is so much higher in India than in the USA. I guess this is mostly speculation, while I can understand the sentiment.

   If people today had the chance to revive a frozen person (or animal) from the past, they surely would not hesitate to give it a try.

    Well, before enough people are telling their governments to stop surveillance, it needs to be a strong matter of public interest. The same applies for a broad application of any technical solution. At the end we probably need both, the publ

    The only way to protect yourself, is to force politics, to stop the sniffing now and to delete all the previously gathered data. There is no technical solution, only a political one.

    I would prefer if someone else did it. Not because I do not trust DDG, but because I don't like the idea of one company providing everything (or too much). Why step into the footsteps of the dinosaurs?

    iOS n > 7 will have a file system browser. Why? Look at how many apps have built-in directory browsers to manage files. Moving this functionality to the core, will look like a revolutionary and elegant idea.

    Finally. This is such an annoying behavior. I wouldn't complain about a small info bubble, but assuming that all visitors comming from a search engine want to install an app before they even know the site is simply ridiculous.

    I'm more interested in the international numbers, as US politics seems to differentiate between US citizens and non-US citizens when it comes to human rights. Edit: Or is this also including requests for users in other countries? Sorry

    If not providing the right browsers with a OS is a reason to enforce huge fines, then large scale espionage is a reason for much higher fines. Probably enough to fix the Euro crisis...

    "You can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience," So he is offering us (well, actually just U.S.) 100% security. Interesting... YES WE SCAN.

    I can understand your sentiment, but basically you are the one who tries to create a risk-free bubble for your children by forcing others to take risks for themselves. So before asking me to face facts, please check your own view: if you wa
