"Hint: porn"
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that most people don't like to mix their porn habits with NSA tracking.

I just felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of gamers cried out in horror. And then there was silence.
Because all previous HMD's sucked, and Oculus doesn't.
You're comparing the Newton and the iPad.
If Zuck thinks the future of Oculus is about connecting and talking with people in virtual... And NOT firing rocket launchers at them.... Well then he's grossly mistaken about the true purpose of the Internet!
How long before there's an "app for that"?
And your response was written
Go find work elsewhere then.
Striking just shows at they can't. Otherwise they already would have.
Of course, now that the NSA and Germany's equivalent can reach deep into your private online data, perhaps they *will* know exactly how much Bitcoin you have, and exactly how much you sold.
Well... Shorter lifespans does equate to faster evolution. So if one starts with the (admittedly questionable) premise that we are evolving into something better adapted to future environments then increasing our lifespan may result in humans which are less adapted to their contemporary environments.
Just sayin'. Live longer, adapt slower.
An "egg corn" it is.
Doesn't dosing on 2000 IU of D per day stave off cancer according to 100's of studies?
Didn't you know?
The Nuremburg trials are the defacto case setting the record *very* clear that humans have a moral obligation to defy the rules when the rules violate natural or moral rights. Privacy has *long* been established as a natural right and is codified in the highest legal document in the nation. Ergo, the responsibility was on Mr. Snowden to come forth with the information.
That the government is appalled, mortified and furious is clear. But what is even more clear is that there was a horrific abuse of power taking place and a voice of moral conscience stepped forward at great personal risk to protect you, me and all of us.
This is a hero. He deserves the protection of the public at large. And those within the government who have neglected their responsibilities, abandoned the cause of freedom and violated our constitutional and natural rights deserve prosecution to the full extent of the law.
What is just as disheartening as the government's efforts to extradite Snowden, is the total lack of silence in terms of desire to prosecute the actual wrongdoers.
Who were they? What were their names? How high did the chain of command go? When will there be a trial? How many dozens of people (or hundreds?) will be serving 20 year sentences? THESE are the questions that need to be answered. Not whether Mr. Snowden has violated the requirements of his day job.
Serious crimes have been committed. Snowden wasn't part of them.
John Corzine stole a billion dollars and walked away without a trial.
The government of Cyprus stole money from people's bank accounts.
HSBC openly laundered money for Mexican drug cartels, and admitted to it. But no charges were pressed, as HSBC is too big to fail.
You could keep giving examples like the ones above for hours on end.
"Crime" is a very selective word these days indeed...
Not strange at all. Marissa Mayer isn't capable of doing much besides making overpriced acquisitions and hires.
Here's (yet another) social blogging platform with no clear revenue model.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
