I'm not sure his comment was disingenuous. But you're right, it's bizarre that FB jumps to remove breast feeding images and yet leaves the most vile rubbish untouched. And unsurprising activists are targeting advertisers after repeatedly ge

Prosecutors acknowledged that Gonzalez did not obtain any of card numbers in the case or receive any proceeds from the thefts. I understand the need to provide some kind of deterrent but sheesh.. you could get drunk, take your car out on

I think I'm pretty much in the same boat. I don't stick to any particular sleep schedule except I religiously sleep for two hours in the early afternoon.. just can't help it. I find my most productive time is between 6am and 10am .. by noon

I would have thought google wave might be a good fit for this. Or even a wave plugin if you require something more specific, like the 'accept/reject' feature? Concept Draw Office also offers something like it.. integrating brainstorming, mi

As an Australian I'm not really up-to-date on US politics, so I have a question.. why are democrats unhappy about health care reform? I thought that was what they wanted?

As a racing driver I think this guy understands the concept of "steering into the slide". In the case of blogging in China, if you're going to be a little bit courageous, it's probably better to be a lot courageous.

If you can't make it to that one you could try Lechuguilla in New Mexico. Also a crystal cave, formed from acid running through limestone, it was featured in David Attenborough's "Planet Earth" series. The prettiest part is the "chandelier

This juvenile practise of downvoting simply because one disagrees does not change the fact that legislation != regulation, in fact one can legislate to remove regulation. And btw, the Community Reinvestment Act was introduced in 1977, I dou

An act which may encourage banks to lend is not regulation . The belief that gov't would bail out the big players does not indicate over regulation, or even appropriate regulation. Quite simply it was the regulation exemptions that were

It wasn't a housing bubble that caused the GFC, if that was all it was it would have been contained to real estate. What brought down so many large institutions was the toxic debt and dodgy dealings they had accumulated, this was allowed to

Since nobody has mention it yet, one could always submit a project as a design competition at 99designs.com. Though, at design school, we were advised never to enter competitions as it undermines the design process and devalues the designer

General Electric, now there's a company that's "evil". http://www.google.com/search?q=%22general+electric%22+%2Bevi... Do you see my point? To anybody outside the app development community it's going to look a little bit "self important"

An 'unmissable' notification from Google wouldn't be anymore unmissable than the request email sent by the bank. Which is why the bank wanted Google to disclose the identity of the user. If Google deleted a users emails and disclosed their
