Please ignore what I said, I was posting something I grabbed of somewhere without verifying first. In-Q-Tel never made any public investment in Facebook. The only connections that exist are the following: Facebook received $12.7 million in

Given that the first $500 million of Facebook investment came from In-Q-Tel, a CIA company that invests in deep data mining systems, it isn't hard to wonder whether Facebook's security officer could have been an employee of the NS

This is a brilliant move on his part. He knows the FB architecture and security apparatus, and he is going to contributing immensely to NSA's endeavors on how to effectively data-mine social media aggregates. Not to mention the relatio

Ghostery has the option to block all trackers at once in a big list with 1490 trackers. Disconnect 2 doesn't provide this option, does that mean that all the known trackers are blocked by default? Some pages I visit show 100+ requests

Just to clarify; I simply ran your post through the nitpickertool and posted its corrections as a reply. I agree with you that none of the corrections should be applied. I just found it humorous at the time I wrote my comment.

It's easier to keep things secret when you're in the right. People are more inclined to assist the cause. All bets are off when you're in the wrong, and it's good we have patriots willing to leak this information.

The War on Terror is taking more and more victims. Chasing this phantom is getting dangerously close to an Orwellian Paradise. As Terry Jones said, "How do you wage war on an abstract noun, it's like deciding to bomb murder".
