Agreed. And his example of how his mom could not understand what the IE disclosure really meant in terms of information sharing is silly. Your typical mom would also does not understand the true extent of data collection from using Google

Its certainly tough to come up with project names that are unique these days, but Dremel? Its a well-known consumer brand of tools in the US. Did Google's Dremel name derive from something other than the tool brand? Google's project is ce

<i>It's advertising</i>. How meta. As I ponder the implications of Google engaged in this publicity stunt, I wonder. Was this device, sent off to sacrifice, my CR-48, lost in shipping? As my desk maintains an empty spot, s

The origins of the US patent system dates back to the 1700's, and so I doubt that its primary purpose was to protect little guys, rather than providing general protection to all inventors, regardless of size. I would appreciate a source if

This is the kind of marketing strategy that turns me off to a service. Linked-in does it too. I get invite invitations from people that I am already linked with, but where they have another of my email addresses in their address book that
