Maybe like the robot that 'terminated' itself, the drone also felt guilty about all the spying it was being asked to do, saw a chance, and plunged into the lake.

Is there still some private data that they are yet to make public? How about emails? Maybe those should be public too? Stupid FB.

Blogger now has .in domain at the highest level, so it makes it convenient for google to implement india specific restrictions. Common indians don't care much about the internet, it is only companies with huge warchets that have to fight this battle, in the hope of getting a much wider userbase at a future time. But given that the american law is being de-facto exported across the world, all victories will be short-lived. YMMV...

ah, but you forget the "special" courts that the political class can setup, if it suits them. they can then be staffed with pliable judges, and then it is anybody's guess as to the result. the Supreme court is the only place where there seems to be a modicum of impartiality, for now.

It is a sensitive time in indian politics, the new generation (kids) of the current politicians are all set to make their splash into active politics.

the report says the plants have to exceed the limits that are planned for/ stated. How can you build a completely fail-proof plant? By not building one...

It is probably the governments and the alphabet agencies that want to know everything about you..so they can justify spending billions on their fancy data analysis tools... i never said i wanted to be traced or agree to compromise my privacy, but the minimum I have to agree to to get some or any service is to almost sell/ give away my privacy in almost all cases...

They called the helpline, but could not understand the accent :)

he was still the president :)

Most deaths happen close to home, so home is not the safest place at all.

I, for one, welcome our internet lords...
