Your wording implies that you think Google has something to hide or to be embarrassed about releasing the data, and that is not the case. The government asks for people's data all the time, and Google is legally obligated to provide th

Sad that this only got 5 votes, when it's a perfectly logical explanation for all the sensationalism around this story.

"Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers..." could easily mean "We ask them for the data and they give it to us from their servers." Especially in the context of that slide where they are con

When you get a FISA letter you aren't allowed to acknowledge that you got it, or tell anyone about it. So yes, there are very tricky laws to skirt around here which necessitate the use of a lawyer when responding to these. Google has b

Bitcoin is not a bank, and does not replace banks. There's nothing stopping anyone from setting up a bank that handles your bitcoin transactions, and therefore can reverse transactions between two parties. Replace "Bitcoin" with "Dollar" an

I applied for one of these positions a few weeks ago. I got a generic "we'll let you know after we look at your stuff!" email in response, then nothing. So the site looks nice, love the videos and whatnot, but more transparency after submit

While I agree that these other sites have "ripped you off," I don't think you should spend any more time worrying about it or "fighting" them. From a quick glance, these sites appear to be tiny "companies" that probably saw a nice site and
