Eventually he will be brought in USA, governments will change wherever he ends up (unless he goes to Russia and China) and USA has a long memory. A lot of people have access to NSA…

When you join the Army etc you largely leave your free speech (and many other) rights at the door, so I fail to see the equivalence. My guess is that that info is still classified,…

So who the F can we trust? All those denials from everyone and now we see this, which I kinda suspected since Verizon was ordered to hand over the same for phone calls.

But Snowden offered them nothing new, so they must trying to avoid detection as much as they can.

>> So what? Islam has 1.5 billion "members" and I don't recall any special Ramadan doodles. Not sure if they are any doodles for Mohammed or Ramadan in Arabic and largely Muslim co…

AP - The Official NSA Public Relations Organization Yeah, Al Qaeda didn't know that NSA listens and reads to their communications. That's why Bin Laden used couriers to personally …

You know what would be inclusive? Acknowledging that not everybody is Christian, and being OK with the Google home page celebrating something other than your Christian holidays on …

No offense but popularity among who exactly, the Silicon Valley crowd? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_of_same-sex_marr... Christianity has over 2 billion "members" wor…

Somewhat off topic but for Easter Google did what? http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57577171-1/google-cesar-... It's their site and all but as a business they should be more inc…

Judging by what I have read, Pandora is not making much (if anything) so there's a limit on how much they can pay. Maybe the is not a feasible business model, or maybe someone else…

Bing controls less than 20% in US and probably less than 5% in EU. What I'm surprised is why EU, at least, allowed Google to buy more market share by paying Firefox

I notice that the 4th Amendment doesn't factor into it. The 4th doesn't really apply if you're talking about the war on [drugs, terrorism, child molesters, tax cheaters, file share…

I use mainly so I can search with Google. Without adblock, it's a nightmare on many searches, the first screen of my laptop is all ads (not including youtube, maps, Google local et…

Yes but you work the odds of the robbery happening right after the Skype call and then the thieves taking just the laptop where some of the most valuable pieces of intel are. Anyth…

But thieves don't just take a laptop once in

Yeah, because jewelry, cash or electronics have no (resale) value so thieves don't touch them ;)

Shocking aint it? They are like employees on every corporation with expense accounts. Some or many will abuse it.

Most startups and founders are like that, either because they want to get the product out yesterday, they are broke as hell or both. So MSFT is not targeting the desperate, but rea…

So he remains in Russia, and he probably has problem getting to Ecuador. Maybe no direct flights and other transit countries might arrest him?

You mean the promises to arrest him for releasing confidential information? Arrest, a fair trial and humane treatment is different from what Bradley Manning suffered. http://www.gu…

If there's a will, there's a way. Maybe drop charges and enter a binding non-prosecution agreement?
