   Peculiar thing is that the Middle Eastern threat is created by the US itself, artificially. Even if, which is unlikely, some of those countries manage to develop a viable nuclear weapon and a viable delivery system, its hypothetical launc

   By the time it's really obvious most people will already be plugged into the Google Matrix with no recollection of anything :)

   The new Google Maps on Android is disappointing. I can appreciate the clean, minimal interface, but with it are gone: 1. Zoom buttons. Now I have to hold the phone in one hand while pinch in and out with another, instead of a tap with one f

   "I know I will be downvoted for this..." is a good example of a groupthink environment :)

   Google sign in is required. I'd appreciate if HN had less posts from the "walled" sources.

   This is the right move. When I look at the Yahoo logo, all I see is the 90s, irrelevance and desolation. It will have more impact than a dozen more startup acquisitions.

   Damn, I thought it was a Mozilla article for a second and clicked. I quickly realized my mistake - it's a former SEOmoz tricksters in different clothing :)

    I love the idea. Go for it, Mozilla! If this is implemented: 1. Firefox, with its insane public reach, can substantially heighten the awareness of privacy issues. 2. Government will have to get creative to subdue a highly popular heavyweigh

    I don't think diligent servants of the US have the guts to do that. Besides, they already awarded it to Obama in 2009 for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples . http:/&#

    This is interesting. Isn't Anon supposed to be pro Tor and privacy? I suspect there's more to it than child pornography allegations.

    Curious why the submitter rounded off the number :) Anyhow, good news. A small win for the pirates.

    And people say what incentives do companies have to cooperate with the government. This is one of them. All PRISM participants do. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

    Very timely. Might be a viable alternative to NSA's Gmail. The tech lead is from the Empire though - an ex-Googler - not exactly a privacy caring company :) Maybe that's why he left :)

    Bitcoin concept disrupts the banking industry and effectively deprecates it. I'd like to see a similar decentralized system in application to SSL certificates, where anyone can establish secure connection without paying fees to 3rd par

    I think what brought us to this point is our persistent belief into the Cold War era roles in the world. US the good guys. Ruskies - a menace to humanity. When the US invaded Iraq, everyone was upset, but in the end people shrugged it off.

    I suspect similar cooperations are in effect in many countries in Europe. Which would also explain a very compliant reaction in the Snowden case.

    This is good news. I'm glad his airport captivity is finally over. Russia is possibly the safest place for him at this point. And I'm glad there's at least one country that can openly stand up against the growing US offense.

    I'm with the bug author on this: "do not track" should mean do not track . And it explicitly mentions analytics on the DNT site. Do Not Track is a technology and policy proposal that enables users to opt out of tracking b
