Atrocities? Seriously? I like net neutrality as much as the next guy (posting on Slashdot) but comparing inconvenient telecommunications fees/policies to genocide or war crimes is ridiculous (and cheapens the word).

Let's take it beyond just people with cameras. What about people with photographic memories? It should really be illegal for anyone to even look at your house, regardless of whether they're on public property.

I use Ubiquity all the time for text translation. You just highlight the text, bring up Ubiquity and type translate. IMO this is where ubiquity shines; its hardly bolted on, its a really natural way of instructing the browser to work with the page I have open. Its way more convenient than any other option since I don't have to switch pages/tabs.

Anybody else read that in the movie preview voice? It was really exciting until about the 3rd sentence.

If medical service is made financially availble to more people, won't that increase demand for doctors, and eventually increase the number of "EFFECTIVE" doctors? I fail to see why the number of doctors in the US would remain static.
