It's a testimony to the effectiveness of link-baiting when pretty much the only bad review gets the most attention. Other than the fact that some of their grievances are unrelated to the actual functionality of the product, they don't seem

Why pile new laws? if people are really that concerned about internet privacy they could install privacy software, the same as with parental control software. There is no market failure to justify new regulations and advertising is what pay

Google offer opt-outs for their stuff. Bu that's not the point, the point is that if people are really that concerned about internet privacy they could install privacy software the same as with parental control software so their is no need

They are absolutely right. And last time I checked the internet was global and not micromanaged on state level.

It's just that 'class system' exists in society and it's a different kind of animal, that phrase carries a lot of negative political and socio-economical baggage, negativity such as 'monarchs' and 'peasants' and what have you. In the corpor

Well then he doesn't seem to understand that contracts vary from one employer to another and that temp/contract workers are there to be fired and be hired again by someone else, it's the nature of the job.
