The peculiar part for me with Google is that they seem to be somehow immune from all the revelations. People keep stand by it and get annoyed when reminded of their wrong-doings. I suspect at this point, they're not much different th

Skype, which was bought by Microsoft in October 2011, worked with intelligence agencies last year to allow Prism to collect video of conversations as well as audio This is pretty scary. When you talk about emails, it's sort of "

I get pestered with messages from Google on various services asking for my phone, merging/creating accounts, joining Google+, etc. Often the UI is so that for an average user it's not clear how to opt-out from it. Undoubtedly on p

I love the ducky. From the idea of privacy to the name and the cutest logo. Yes, the quality of the search is not as finely bubbled as Google's, but it's actually a feature. I'm very glad that Gabriel was brave enough to star

It'd be even cooler if each relation had a short description/example specifically how one language was influenced by another.

I'm with you. But then, the EU has been under the US boot for a long time now. And as Snowden's revelations show they knew about PRISM and at least some participated. Real shame though that even a social oriented society like Euro

"Leftist" is one of more respectable terms that those countries have been called by the western media :)

I'm really excited about Firefox OS. It's a timely alternative to iPhone Garden and Android PRISM :)

I praise this effort. Whatever the criticism may be, it's a useful site and it educates people. Folks like them do a lot more than us ranting here in the comments :)

Most (if not all) of the "Currency Clones" listed are scams. Be careful. Generally, the only coins you want to pay attention to are BTC and LTC. Here you can watch the steady stream of altcoins and their scam practices. https:&#x

Ever since the PRISM revelations, I feel uneasy whenever I see "Google" in the headlines. Even if it's just a harmless doodle, I'm reminded of their partnership with NSA.

As it seems, all the NSA revelations are only that for general public. The allies knew about them and to some extent participated. Which explains how readily helpful the EU is in catching Snowden. Critical commentary from Europe is just to

Very interesting. I wonder if it's a new service by Google. Neat projects like Solar Impulse get exposure via Google platform. And Google, in turn, gets positive publicity and compelling event to recruit more data for NSA :)

Oracle is the Wall Street of IT industry. Toxic business practices and disregard to customer interest. Profit is the only imperative.

I think it was immoral and dishonest to sneak in a whitelist feature into AdBlock, which is in direct opposition to the core product value. Imagine a firewall that whitelists certain networks. And background updates add more networks that b

Yes, Namecheap has been socially responsible and somewhat of a rebel. They're one of the few big name companies that joined the Stop Watching Us [1] initiative. None of the PRISM companies have, as far as I know. https://s

On this topic, I recommend to watch a movie called Tokyo [1]. It's in fact 3 short films. One of them is about Hikikomori. Very well done indie series. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976060/
