    Google has absolutely no idea how much damage I'm about to do. I probably open tabs in my sleep.

    This is really great to hear. We need more of this. I'd pledge if I had any hugely significant sum like the others in the pledge, but alas.

    This is great. I'd like to reverse-engineer every successful web startup to see what they know.

    +1. The ripple effects of releasing such documents are unknown. This is a completely reckless act by Assange/Wikileaks that puts their name above the safety of the citizens of the world.

    I'm sad that this meant the end of someone doing what they love to do and something they put in work for, for years. But my sympathy ends there.

    I'm worried that this will lead to bad consequences by Microsoft to prevent the misappropriation of Kinect devices, which is very, very bad. Hopefully we'll see a teardown and a BOM sometime soon...
