Comment Re:Good intentions pave the road to a stalking cha (Score 1) 459

I think you missed the part where I explained about the opposite party being aware of the intention. Rather than an app that simply crawls Foursquare for women who have checked in nearby. The way I read the article (the summary, forgive me if I'm wrong) these women had no idea their information was being sent to this third party app for this purpose.

The similar apps are most likely related strictly to "friends" or at least women who are actively interested in providing their information with the intention of hooking up. Why the hell do you need an app to tell you there are women somewhere? Couldn't you just go to the bar and see a woman there? Do people really need to break the ice with a random text message from a stranger? That IS creepy...
At least with Facebook/Foursquare check-ins it's assumed that you're actually friends with the person. Even in that case it'd be nice to have a little correspondence and plan to meet up before hand.

They should have went with a business modeled tablet. Something specifically for scheduling, email, perhaps something easy to type documents on, look at slides, PDF, and spreadsheets. Surely they could have made something relatively affordable.

If the NSA isn't spying on American citizens, then why are they so steadfastly opposed to EFF, EPIC, etc. trying to obtain that information from them in court?

What is their explanation about the monitoring rooms in AT&T's facilities that tap into domestic fiber?

They don't want to spy on American citizens...
They just want the technology in place to do so.
