A lawyer trying to justify his retainer. As usual, he does more harm to the Tupperware brand and good name than was ever done in the good joke of a forgotten headline.

A bad man will use anything and everything a good man uses. Is the solution to imprision all the good men just in case?

Let's reinvent the flip phone.

He owes his presence in the West far more to Shakespeare than to coding.

If MSFT wants to push Windows 10 so much, let them upgrade my Vista machine. But don't mess with my Windows 7.

In the Brave New World, the Navy will be able to rend the fat of its victims for fuel.

If it is so "broad and balanced" what is the point of it? This shows the real intent. It is a foot in the door for followup lawsuits to expand corporate power through pliant judges and interpretation.

Cram it down my Vista; not a perfectly good Windows 7.

Looks like a caldera. Yellowstone on Ceres.

Don't count him out. A great portion of American voting is done electronically even though it has been shown to be corrupt, not just in theory but in practice. Who has more knowledge on how to rig voting machines than the man who built his reputation dissecting viruses?

He's the closest thing to None of the Above. So, why not?

BeyondTV was the best of these DVRs for simplicity and ease of use. Unfortunately, it has been long discontinued by the developer. Have tried Media Portal but find the set up to be a headache and the operation not as user-friendly as BTV. MCE is a bit in-between. Easier to set up but not very user-friendly. I am looking forward to the upcoming release of Homerun DVR, and hoping it will be the best on all fronts. Unfortunately, it will be subscription based.

And, why are we kidding ourselves? The Feds and crims are often one and the same people.

Snowden doesn't deserve a pardon; he deserves a commendation. It is Obama and all the others who need the pardon.

The most concerning thing about the new OS is the spying issue and the power given to MS to install any kind of spyware or user malicious updates it chooses.

Leave the old guy alone.

One of the great myths that America has claimed over Communism is that in the US you can own property. Nonsense. If you think you own it? Stop paying taxes on it. See how long you own it. You own your shirt -- nobody can make a claim on it -- but you don't own your house or anything other real property.

Stupid on all counts. They'll get them anyway; and, if they don't, they'll make their own.

Cut and run.

It's net neutrality or a neutered net. Freedom has balls. Show them.

The argument that those who have done nothing wrong have no need of privacy is the clearest indictment of the government as an actor that is doing EVERYTHING wrong: how else to explain its obsession with secrecy.

Every sexpot needs a sugar daddy.

Rice is a war criminal. Part of the Bush Gang of Four. I wouldn't trust or do business with any company that hires her. For the citizen, Dropbox cannot telegraph more clearly that it is bed with spying and that your data is not safe with them. For the government, Dropbox cannot be telegraphing more clearly that it wants a CIA or NSA contract.

I guess Bill's charitable work didn't cost him much, then.

What chutzpah! If he's not the world's biggest philanthropist, why isn't he!? He's the world's richest man, isn't he?

A lot less than that, if humans have their way.

Of one thing we can be sure: It is now illegal in the US to tell the truth about your dealings with the NSA and a lot of other things. The only thing you can do, with impunity, is lie. So, yes, the credibility of every government agency, every American corporation, every American university, and, indeed, every American citizen is shot.

It was a better time, when companies sold freedom TO the consumer. Now they sell control OF the consumer.

Another example that the people are gold and the "state" is crap.
