What if you upload a blank image? Will they recognize it's not a person and keep bugging you anyway? :)

As amirmc said, I think the move towards a decentralized system, as the Internet itself operates, can be a viable solution to the cloud problem. What we see today is accumulation of great power and influence in the hands of a few Big Tech

The reporter must appear and give testimony just as every other citizen must. We are not at liberty to conclude otherwise. I hope they hold the same opinion of NSA agents.

The scary part is that the coercive push for Real Name, single identity is advantageous to both private sector (Google, Facebook, etc) and government (NSA, etc). The former get better tracking and ad revenues. The latter improved surveillan

That's nothing. Wait till they start streaming context dependent ads straight to your Google Glass :) * Getting in your 2008 Toyota... Tada! An ad presenting the 2013 model. * Walking by a Nike store... Tada! An ad featuring new sneake

Wait, is this baity title the work of the submitter? The actual article is much less sensational: "Reading for graduate students".

In order to get support they compromised and agreed to pay for essentially anti-environmental ads for a couple of key conservative senators. And that was not right. You should fight on the merits of the cause, not play some Machiavellian g

It's a fine initiative, I guess. Except, how is it related to PRISM, which provides direct access to user data for the interested parties? There's no FISA request to be made. As I see it, they want to come out as privacy advocates

This relative peace was forced upon by the Cold War. It largely restrained the militant zeal from both sides. As soon as the Soviet threat was gone, the US devised the new concept of evil - terrorism - and, with no viable checks and balance

Although, the charges may be true, the case is undoubtedly politically motivated. Incriminated $500K is a tiny drop in the ocean of "approved" corruption routinely carried out by the state officials and their affiliated companies.

> The only right thing to do is to start treating terrorist suspects exactly like those suspected of any other crimes, be it murder, theft, rape etc. Well, the US can't do that. Terrorists is the replacement for the perished Sovi

Well said. I think that eventually a real blow will happen and of no terrorist origin, but a nation. A lot of people are aggravated by the militant attitude of the US. Even the most patient of us have their threshold. As a side note on the

Putin can't afford to play hardball. Despite his macho exterior in the media, he knows that the US has leverage economically and elsewhere.

This unusually respectful rhetoric from both sides hints on that they already agreed on the case. Russia keeps Snowden quiet, the US doesn't bug them with extradition. A win-win for both presidents. Putin saved a poor NSA contractor fr

Yes, they suddenly care about "constitutional principles" one month after the revelations.

I think Russia is the safest place for Snowden. Any western country is a no-go for obvious reasons. And South America is also questionable. Given how casually the Bolivian presidential plane was grounded and searched, the US may as well sen

A fine ad. I don't see a crime here. Except the sensational title maybe... Oh noooes! Ruby sucks! How dare they!!! Sexist community!

Actually, in the same manner the US initiated a massive FUD campaign against the "evil" (non-US) forces at the ITU summit last year in Dubai. Behind the facade of "save the Internet", the agenda was to save the Internet
