Privacy Group Calls on FTC to Kill Google Docs

Posted 03/20/2009 at 04:30:34pm

First of all the idea of trying to get Gmail shut down is downright crazy, are these guys in Yahoo!'s pocket?  Second $5 mil to advocacy groups??  So they can do what, make false accusations and gunk up the legal system?  Third, their analogy blows.  Everyone should understand that if you put something on the net, that there's a chance it could get exposed.  If you put your kid in a car seat, there's still a chance they could get injured and / or die.  If you're installing a car seat that doesn't fit properly, you should be able to figure that out pretty damn quick.  Most people would probably return it, unless of course it was FREE; then you would accept the risk or just never use it.  And where are all their complaints against Microsoft and every other software developer out there?  Just about any program has ninja bugs waiting to jump out and axe a few people.  It's not like anyone is twisting every one's arm to use Google Docs.  If there were a legal requirement to use cloud computing (car seats anyone?) they might have a case, last I checked though it was a personal decision and therefor a personal problem.

Bored Teenage Office Worker Fired over Facebook Entry

Posted 03/13/2009 at 12:34:00pm

The whole situation is absurd, stalking your employee's facebook page (myspace, etc..) is the online equivalent of following them around while they're off the clock to see what they are up to. I've also heard of many HR depts searching social networking sites for info about potential hires. If you want to know something about someone then ask for it on an application or resume. How can an HR use information gleaned from a personal site and prove that they were completely ignoring information like race, gender, religion, etc? And since when is unhappiness a reason for termination? If that were the case, I imagine about 80% of the country would be out of a job.

Iphone and 3G on
A Declaration of Independence for the iPhone

While AT&T may have better 3G coverage, it really doesn't matter, the Iphone runs on the EDGE network and is not 3G. Just another reason why I'm not getting one.
