Yeah, remember that when you're flying with your family and someone is hacking the plane away while everyone else is asleep.

I see an IPO on the horizon..

Pre-historic animals in Siberia mutated to grow feathers and withstand the blistering cold. That's called evolution. It still doesn't mean all dinossaurs were feathered. I bet in Australia they wore bathing suits.

Everyone else, every law-abiding citizen, may move on, nothing to see here...

As I started reading TFS, I really was expecting the announcement of a new space combat sim or 4X game, but... Elite? really?

It's taken off in the sense that it gets shoven down your throat every time you sign up for a Google service.

Of all the Google+ accounts (basically all Google accounts), how many actually log into that specific service?

Seriously, come on. Do you PERSONALLY know ANYONE who was affected by this? Neither do I.

TFS and TFA should include something like: This news brought to you by our scaremongering overlords, courtesy of privacy nutjobs all over the globe.

This isn't legal documents we're talking about here, anyway. I'm also pretty sure this is covered under Facebook's EULA/TOS you didn't read.

Life goes on. Don't like Facebook, don't use Facebook.

I can only think of BREW because it relates to beer.

"Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." - Homer Simpson.

Our lives are already regulated by governments all the way to hell and back and look how messed up it is now.

Regulating internet will lead to more expensive and less efficient service for all. The only winning parties will be politicians and lawyers, as usual. The population always loses with regulation.

1. Set up VM
2. Download all the crap they ask me to
3. Profit

Seriously, what kind of idiot would download an unknown executable on his main PC to earn a fucking dollar?

No matter how much government tries to regulate something, no matter how much money is poured into lobbying, the free market forces always win.

Good riddance, I say.

Friedman, Hayek, and Mises were right all along!! :-)

To play old rehashed upscaled PS3 games.

This is going to make top Go Daddy execs millionaires, and every other stockholder gets screwed after the execs flip and the stock tumbles down in the months following said IPO.

Protip: NEVER enter an IPO, no matter how awesome you think the company is. Wait and see how the stock performs over an extended period.

I'm pretty sick and tired of this crusade against capitalism all over the world, where anyone who makes a lot of money is either evil, unethical, or oppressive to his employees.

Then you have folks like Thomas Picketty who preach to the socialist choir, and writes all the shit the lefties wanna read. Nevermind he's a millionaire himself.

We need more Ron Pauls.

This is Disney we're talking about here.

And TNSTAAFL.

They'll obviously use it as a recruiting tool.

1. Release tool
2. Watch amateur animations spring up online
3. Hire amateurs who create awesome animations
4. Save on training costs
5. Profit
