    Love him or hate him, I think it's great when someone makes a mistake, owns up to it publicly. Even allow others to contact them directly and list all levels of accountability even…

    Google can fail at Google+ because this is not their main product. Look at Buzz and Wave, they both failed spectacularly, and Google moved on to the next thing. Like wise you can w…

    Yea. You can't completely avoid it but I try to minimize it as much as I can. I have separate emails for a ton of things. I create fake personas for anything I think that does not …

    Was not able to find any sources worth reading but I am interested to know the comparison between American Universities, and free universities in Europe. It would be interesting to…

    I still dont get how you concluded that Newegg stores password in plain text. All you did was talk to a Newegg rep, you said he mis understood you and email you your Newegg passwor…

    Agree. I was using like as in "like totally," I realized it after I posted it but didnt have time to go back and correct it.

    Exactly what I was going to say. US and many Western countries are idea machines, but they are all built in Asia. As someone said, Japan takes something and makes it better, China …

    It's just odd watching large sites repeat the same mistakes. First digg, and now the entire Gawker sites. It's as if they paid no attention to how badly a major change can have on …

    I wouldn't go into a panic, as if EVERYONE is using tumblr and doing this. It's just like those spam emails, where its a forward of a forward. Relax, like all trends it'll run it's…

    The FBI mostly has been watching, but not directly involved because so far, for what they've done it's not worth the resources and money to go after. The FBI could go after anonymo…

    I am for trying to poke at someone, but to me the line is drawn at family and kids. Anonymous themselves might not do it, but lets say they make information about the kids public a…
