Boobs, Shaded like Boobs, and Right said Fred

All... Too sexy for Tumblr

It's not the software, it's the owners.

Code can be farmed from anywhere by any company.

The bottom line is that governments prefer access to the people responsible, when or if something were to be found that violated their laws.

Russia rarely (more like never) extradites people for such crimes. This level of tolerable abuse makes trust, closer to the blind or visually impaired variety.

What we say vs What we do

'...to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful'."

The world is a both a good and evil place. Inventors don't get to choose how a tool is utilized, only suggest.

The crime is that Google is afraid to make information accessible and useful even with itself.

In practice, the mission is moral on the label, but monetized at the core. Unfortunately, a new label may be in order, as the moral slant appears to have become old tech.

Jealous, or maybe not

Super high speed internet behind a Great Meddling Firewall.

Yet... still can't download freedom. Minor glitch I guess

A reason? How about wearing white after Labor Day.

One of the more absurd reasons is on the suspicion that the driver was not buckled up (click-it or ticket).

The only reason "your safety" stopped being a choice was the police's need to snoop and the insurance companies desire to raise rates.

It's uneasy to share the community with law enforcement as friends, when a "cotton candy" misunderstanding can put you in jail with thousands in legal fees.

MFA broken again

Single points of failure, certainly not in a cloud service...Still it all comes tumbling down.

Is this Josh Mandel's or Tom Noe's Idea?

I thought Ohio had learned from "Coingate", well at the minimum Josh Mandel hasn't.

Drop a lit match as you leave office, and thank you very much.

Kinda macabre, but alright

Just one of the many fun things you can do with roadkill in Georgia

MF to the A

Darn, somebody secured the keys to the cloud, in the cloud.

Anybody got a cloudy coat hanger?

Microsoft Calculator 1810

Results can now be displayed in units of "close enough".

Terms and Conditions

Sometimes your moral AV software goes awry and deletes a neighbor.

Unfortunate, but from now on that neighbor is whitelisted.

International Right to Privacy

Hmm.. But we already have an international law to address this (Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Article 12 states: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Good thing the international community takes these violations seriously... i.e. don't expect reparations or even an apology.

Unexpected Fame

Oddly, Douglas never saw the movie for which he is lauded so much praise.

Kubrick didn't give him any context for the character of Hal, his lines were added at the last minute and took just a day and a half to finish, and after completing the work Douglas felt it was a load of rubbish.

Douglas loved performing complex Shakespearean characters. The part of Hal was a bit too cold and simplistic for his preference, but ultimately that smooth void of creepiness worked well in the film.

Somewhere both Douglas Rain and Alec Guinness are smirking it up as to how? they ended up best remembered as sci-fi characters.

Pop Culture Solution

Simply sprinkle some Reese's Pieces in your backyard.

Friendly Extra Terrestrials are soon to follow.

Happier? Victims

Mosquitoes use a little local anesthetic to numb their victims before taking their meal.

Google wants the abusive websites to do the same.

Prediction

Many more people will need to get paid, before there's a need to figure this out.

Need a lift?

We've traveled 6.4 billion miles and haven't passed even one hydrazine gas station!

Clean signal but stale programming

In time the FCC will feel obligated to regulate the 85-255 Hz ( frequency of the human voice ).

There are a quite a few countries willing to suppress the unlicensed pirates.

Security - Now Hiring

"Facebook's ballooning safety and security group, now at about 20,000 people"

Wow, that is slightly larger than the number of people on the US Border Patrol.

...Too bad both jobs are restrained in being too effective.

Surface Tension

My NFL Football team has lost the last couple of weeks.

Could it be because the other teams knew better, than to allow updates on their sideline Surface Tablets?

Bill Belichick doesn't use the things, yet his team has gone on a winning streak ...hmm
