Tell me when the NSA, or the US in general pre-NSA, has ever endangered or compromised their encryptions? There surely is enough stories of how the CIA screwed up and stories like …

I'd doubt that's possible. The NSA has the best mathematicians and cryptologists in the world. They probably also have the most.

Google Maps is the best as much for its maps acquisitions as it is the work they put into it. If they do acquire it, it will because they see a use for Waze talent and tech.

>but I think overlooks the fact that much of this record keeping happened prior to the internet. Almost all public activity generates a paper trail, and before the internet, your p…

Certainly, current tablets are still too slow in keeping up with a stylus but I'm sure Apple would love to have their own stylus in the market considering they already have 3rd par…

>I trust Google more to fight for privacy of my data against the government, than any of those organizations. After 9/11 AT&T practically rolled over for the US government. When a …

It's a short term issue. When I mean short term it could last at least 20 years. I earnestly believe that society is trying to find boundaries but technology is updating far faster…

Sony had more than one problem. The biggest problem is their brand name has suffered for years with lackluster and not very well-thought out products. They're starting to turn it a…

I'd prefer the box. It's cheaper to replace than a TV which would allow me to upgrade the hardware more frequently for new features. The new Xbox has shown that a box can take over…

I don't think the price is unreasonable. This is the going rate that other sites like SmugMug offer. While most offer unlimited storage, they lack the community aspect of Flickr. I…

>Meanwhile, what's the last yahoo acquisition that didn't turn into disappointment soon after the acquisition? One could argue that that the last acquisition that worked out was th…

It does what everybody needs at this point but people have drifted towards services like Instagram because it is so well thought out and easy to use. In a lot of ways most people a…

Flickr updated their site a few months ago along with the release with their new iPhone app. It still doesn't feel like a modern site and it doesn't work as well as it should. Supp…

It'll have integration with Yahoo's own services but it also presents a few more headaches with pirate links and takedown notices.

Many Apple fans would say that Google is the favored child right now. Journalists look for a good story (or the ability to make one) regardless of what device they use.

Just because MS has their fingers in a lot of pots doesn't meant everything they do has value. Office and Windows is still their bread and butter while Office continually takes up …

None of that means he is giving away as much as took in tax loopholes. I haven't read any official news story that Buffett is doing this. It's also quite possible he's doing so wit…

If reports are true then they did look into this. There are just too many complications in buying these services. The popularity of these apps are regional, some have deals with ca…

>I absolutely agree with Warren Buffet on this: he uses the legal loopholes while arguing against them. I think it's the most ethical position. At first, it may seem as hypocrisy, …

I'm not sure why you would put all off you eggs in one basket. That is what I took away from your story. Many times, these big companies are not the best in their offerings for a g…

I doubt Apple would do anything without Google's permission regarding this. Google probably has the same deal with Apple with the built-in YouTube app where there weren't any ads e…

Apple has done this before announcements (software updates usually) but not regarding iTunes app sales milestones. I'm of the mind that it is a coincidence. Google's done the same …

It's been quite the opposite. College tuition fees has risen rapidly (as most other things have) but the middle and lower class wages haven't been keeping up with this trend. The m…

I think it's too easy to blame people who vote against raising taxes. The rate at which college tuition has gone up since I went ('95-'99) is insane. This is not including that you…

I'm sure that lack of exercise is also playing a role in this though it was not mentioned. Many kids are quite comfortable sitting at home on the computer, playing online games and…
