I think in this case it's a blurred line. In the case of Youtube even more. True, they don't want to create their own content, but when they republish it and making money by doing …

There's a difference between Google Search and Google News. It is already an achievement to write the headlines of the news and to rank the importance of a piece of news. I conside…

I think I took this into account, but I admit I didn't see something else, which you pointed me to: >> This new legislation requires every Spanish publication to charge services li…

If it's the substantial part of the content, yes. But in the case of most of the web search results it is not, so no. However, you've asked the tricky question. Is it necessary to …

It is a long long time ago when Google could be considered innocent (acting ethically). Actually, they're acting the opposite way for ages by ignoring copyright, privacy and by man…

This is remarkable, as we could conclude that Google News can't or don't want to create content on their own, but only copy from other sources.

That's exactly how it has to be done. Google can't be allowed to copy the content or parts of it without permission of the creator. We shouldn't forget that they're making huge amo…

E.g. here: http://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=44832&page=16 It seems to occur only using the web-installer, which is the one you're offically prompted at by the creators…

DON'T FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL! Unless you like Adware or what else ... (JDownloader installs some crap Adware.)

Here's a great interpretation of the yoga sutras ... http://www.swamij.com/yoga-sutras.htm

What I've written is nothing that I've thought of be myself. I've tried to describe the goal of traditional yoga, which really contradicts a lot of the modern interpretations. http…

The goal of meditation is not to get a better brain. As the goal of yoga is not to get a sexy body. These articles and even more the countless yoga ads with young beautiful ladies …

I know we're not historicans here, but I'm German, so I am quite sensitive when it comes to the Stasi: Please be aware of the thousands of people who have been killed, tortured, in…

Actually it is free and open. It's not private, however. The internet was never a private place and it will never be. Edit: It's important that we don't loose the freedom and openn…

Agencies have been spying forever. From opening letters to eavesdroping phone calls. I'm not saying it's right, just that the agencies have not become worse with time. However, I t…

Same here, FF 33.0.3, Win 8.1 ... After having seen the buttons, I've seen enough. I'm not bought so far.

That's the inevitable consequence of being overambitious. This pattern is the same, regardless of the area within which these folks try to become more powerful, rich or famous than…

Nails it. Great quote. And you can't reverse the damage of this economic system overnight, especially when almost all of the young people willing to build and create something new …

I'm always annoyed that while pointing out that the right-wing extremist parties are stronger in the east than in the west of Germany, they really don't matter at all. Look at thei…

No. I don't think Ubuntu can be installed with all required drivers to run properly. But that's more a guess. Also, the GUI of Windows 8.1 is quite nice for hybrid touch/mouse usag…

Damn, recently MS nails it with their web design.

I agree to the extend, that it sounds like Microsoft is in any way special here. Actually, for some time it's opening up pretty much. Apple is even worse, Google will certainly not…
