    Facebook Sent User Data to Advertisers

    Part of me laughs at FB users for being stupid but on the other hand what would happen if someone posted a whole pile of shit about me? Would I be able to get FB to remove it in its entirety? Would Google remove it from their indexes etc? The fact that FB is pwning its users doesn't phase me...

    Where In The World Is J Allard?

    I must say, I don't get excited about gadgets but the Courier seemed like the dogs bollox to me. Whats not to like about an electronic Moleskine Notebook that doesn't require a fcuking big ipocket? :) I am pissed about the lack of an A6-sized electronic handwriting device... I don't blame him...

    German Prosecutors Investigating Google

    I'm from the UK and I am not a fan of the EU membership thing... costs billions and is a waste of time... now thats out the way... I think we should leave the EU btw. What Google can do with this is when you do a search, they have your MAC address. Now, that in itself is nothing really but...

    Movie Censorship Hits Home Televisions.

    It's getting beyond a joke imo. I live in the UK so we don't quite have it like that... yet. We do, however, have about 300 cameras per sq ft of ground space in this country. There is a simple solution to this, well, kinda simple: Don't watch TV. Unacceptable for some folks I suppose but...

    Surprised Employer Fires Sex Blogger

    Oh, forgot to say... this is the tip of a very large iceberg! Just wait until insurance premiums, loan applications etc are partly based on your online profile... it will be too late by then. I suspect it will go even further, like trying to get your kid into a particular school and they...

    Surprised Employer Fires Sex Blogger

    First of all... wtf is an "at will" state? I'm from the UK so it means nothing to me. Second, and most important... what she does outside of her work is her PRIVATE life (assuming she doesn't eat live children or something). If I worked for someone (I work for myself) and they mandated what...

    Traffic Light With a Progress Bar

    As long as it doesn't use the M$ progress bar... 30 seconds to go... 20 seconds to go... 5 minutes to go :)

    Facebook's Expansion Triggers Political Backlash

    I'm not a fan of social networking... I can't see a need for it personally but that aside lets get to the point. Government is interfering enough in our lives (I live in the UK) so more intervention is NOT WELCOME. If facebook is intentionally duping people by making it really hard or...

    Google Street View Scanning & Mapping Your MAC Address?

    My problem isnt that anyone can scan and find my wireless network is that google is doing it for commercial reasons... I can't figure out why of course. Gawd knows what kind of data mining they are doing on it tho :(

    This all seems a touch funny to me... Apple would normally have sent in the C&D assassination team on something like this...

    Is Social Networking going Public?

    True, I suppose but surely a business with only one revenue stream is on shaky ground... I know Google is still raking in the big bucks but all it takes is something new to come along and they are screwed since it is their only source of income. Maybe I am a bit too traditional but businesses...

    Is Social Networking going Public?

    I'm no stockbroker but does facebook or any of that other social networking stuff actually produce anything that makes money?

    How Private are You?

    Me neither. Privacy issues aside, I just don't see anything on facetube or mybook that holds any interests for me at all. Anything I know about them is stuff like "I'm taking dump now" and "I had cereal for breakfast".. ok, its not all like that but thats my perception of it. My wife is a...

    Viacom: Google Used Piracy to Coerce Content Owners

    Agreed. The barrier for entry is high but if it works... well just look at Harry Potter :) I think the books suck but she is a billionaire!

    Viacom: Google Used Piracy to Coerce Content Owners

    We could change it if we all stopped buying copyrighted works (Im thinking CD's and DVD's mainly here). Imagine how shit scared they would be if everyone in America did that for 2 months... thats at least a 24% revenue drop right across the board (assuming an even spread of sales etc etc).
