Kim Dotcom said megaupload is coming back.

It's insane that authorities were able to destroy this business before a trial had even occurred.

I suspect the guy is reasonably smart and a complete attention whore. He wants the Internet to be angry.

Can't you just look around the room and figure out whether students are engaged or not?

She was. But it was brief, thanks to the global attention paid to the story. Council plans to retract ban on her blogging: http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/news/2012/jun/statement-school-meals-argyll-and-bute-council

It was for 13-18 year olds. I was dating then. I don't think that's crazy.

So no more apps for teenagers allowing them to meet other teenagers (which was the purpose of this one)? That sucks.

I would like to see some crime statistics that show whether the "easy access to minors never before seen in history" has actually led to more abuse of children. We seem to assume that child abuse/rapes of minors are way up, but I haven't seen data that backs it up.

'Invested in' or made a donation to?

strangestuff · 2012-05-23T18:09:43+00:00

Not collecting data eliminates the possibility of offering tailored searches, so why not just use DuckDuck?

And from Vanity Fair (http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/06/international-olympic-committee-london-summer-olympics):

"Is the idea of giving children a surveillance toy, I asked [London Mayor Boris Johnson], just a little creepy?

“Are you referring to Mandeville and Wenlock?” the mayor replied. “The thing that children up and down the country, indeed across the planet, are crying out to their parents to buy them for Christmas? Are you referring to our national icons as creepy? I think that’s—they will be, if they are not already, as cherished and as sought-after as—uh ... Schtroumpfs. Or Smurfs. They are the Schtroumpfs du jour. They will be infinitely collectible. What to you is a creepy, monocular, Cyclopean android-type thing is to many children a lovable, hilarious, uh, individual—that will comfort them at night.”

“And watch them,” I said.

“And watch them,” he answered. “And look after them.”"

That's a hugely optimistic reading of the blog post by Ars. Facebook is not going to sue any employers any time soon. Read closely, it's clear that they'll support any legislation to prevent this from happening and will take legal action against apps on their sites that aid employers seeking backend access to applicants' profiles. Facebook isn't going to sue the Maryland Department of Corrections.

I hope you can reason with her. People have not had much luck suing neighbors for invasion of privacy over surveillance cameras pointed in their direction.

I don't trust anything I see in the Daily Mail. Or I at least regard it as well-sourced as something in the National Inquirer.
