Thanks for the link. I just donated some money on Watsi. But I can't help but feel a bit uneasy about trusting them. After virtually ALL big Internet companies have been exposed as liars, whom can I trust? I just hope the kid that I se

Is there an open source JavaScript snippet somewhere that I can put on my page and it shows a pop up prompting users to accept cookies?

Yeah, this is not freedom. It's alright, USA. But stop pretending otherwise.

Nothing wrong with that statement, except I think it should be a given.. Do we need a pat on the back for doing the right thing? :)

Yep, see what happened in the Arabic countries (and some other countries outside of the Islam-sphere). People organised to protest using the Internet. People get educated using the Internet. In Cuba they exchange information using thumb dri

I think by now it's very naive to still assume they do it just to stop terrorism. But the good thing about this whole mess is that a new generation of people realises that politicians are liars and are not to be trusted, ever.

Good idea. Let's show the media world that we care about topics like the NSA-scandal. I'm subscribing.

I am not in America, but perhaps a little education about nutrition at school would help to make people think twice about their food and drink choices?

Yeah. And I feel bad recommending GMail to friends and family before. Now I tell them to leave it. I should have known.. Right now my Google usage is at almost 0%. (I still use calendar.. for now.)

Just shows how unevenly wealth is distributed if one guy thinks about building a new transportation system between L.A. and S.F.

I wish that somebody (Michael Moore perhaps?) would make a great documentary on the topic of the surveillance state that everyone watches. (And on the seemingly broken American political system, as well.)

So expressing support for Snowden is suggested to be a sign I might be a threat to a country. Way to accelerate the self-censorship (and the subsequent censorship of thought) that this whole surveillance disaster creates.

"Mr. <webservice-ceo> Does your company offer a backdoor for the government? It looks like it, even though you have declared that there was no backdoor just a few weeks ago!" - "Uhm. Not wittingly!"

First of all, it has a shorter range, accelerates not as quickly as a car in another category and the looks don't appeal to the author. What else is "much much worse"? Secondly: "All I can say for now is, let's hope

Greenwald and Snowden are my heroes of the year (at least). The amount of lies in .gov and Internet-industry is amazing. I hope none of the involved politicians and companies ever speak of "privacy" or "security" again.

Heh quora feels like experts exchange. Show a little content for Google and external links, force registration for the rest. Meh, no thank you. Same people running it by any chance?

Just curious: Why is Thailand bad? It seems that this guy still produces good work, so how is he pissing his life away?

Might as well say "NSA Unveils new Nexus 7 Tablet". Yes, sorry, I am bitter, I know, but I don't want people to forget Google's role in the recent surveillance story.

I find this page hard to read: http://practicaltypography.com/summary-of-key-rules.html Perhaps it looks good on a tablet computer. But it feels odd to learn about typography from a page that feels difficult to read.

Yeah that was a nice game, but really. Take your money and put it into something useful. There's diseases to be cured, politicians to be lobbied, philosophical questions to be investigated, space to explore.. There's poverty and w

Ah, the liars are releasing a new statement. Very interesting. And their job is tougher now? Interesting. How did they ever fight criminals and terrorists before mass surveillance! Unimaginable.

Meh, they don't confuse these things. I suppose this is only a bullshit proposal to distract from something else. Online spying on their citizens, crappy economy or whatever. For as long as there's politicians "protect the ch

I don't think I can ever trust any of these companies again, sorry. It's sad. I really liked their products. In my case it only matters with regards to Google. Gmail, for instance, feels creepy when I log in. On the other hand, co
