I agree, but it's interesting that Google is doing so much more than just search today and they're not inviting the same response. Is it because the main search service has stayed the same without suffering from feature bloat?

We're talking about privacy here. ChromeOS is a ridiculous suggestion.

Do you have a tl;dr? The title is bad already, "freedom or tyranny". I think there is more to this than good vs. evil. But looking at RMS, you can see that black/white thinking can produce licenses that work great in the hands of people who

If the amount was ordinate, they wouldn't have come up with the idea and work on the implementation in the first place. So the issue is what you think about their philosophy and implementation.

Do you know why FB isn't asking for permission? Because it can get away with this patronizing and self serving behavior.

Looking at the privacy, this was unimaginable 5-10 years ago. But Facebook's strategy of little steps is working. I'm quite sure people will accept this and most comments won't go beyond how amazing this is, creepy but still awesome and sim

My bet is that the Document Foundation will end up offering the Apache Software Foundation a major role in their organization in exchange for a merger of the OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice codebases.

As expected Oracle didn't donate it to The Document Foundation. There will be more calls to merge the OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice projects now. That is really what needs to be done, both office suites are still almost identical. The Apac

I know many disagree with hiding comment scores, but in my view, the quality of discussions has notably improved since scores are hidden. I would be interested in knowing how pg estimates the effect of this tweak.

The "subliminal message" remark was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Calling the inscription a Freudian slip might have been more accurate...

Did you notice the image of the gravestone? The inscription has a (not so) subliminal message.

Read the article again. Then read your comments. You're just being polemic and you're belittling the issue at stake.

Buzzword soup yes, but it's oversalted (once again). I fail to see any advantage in having my front door "keys" stored in the "cloud".

To clarify: My "what's wrong" question meant to show what's wrong with the "what's wrong" question I replied to. So I agree with your two points. In fact you can easily use interest profiles for serving advertising and news alike, my compar

Most comments seem to miss the point of the article that "data minimisation" or data avoidance is the most efficient security measure. What do you think of that?
