And you can bet they watch the propaganda, because in North Korea, TV watches YOU!.

Worse, in North Korea your neighbor watches you. People can get executed, or worse, for possessing one of these DVDs or even finding one laying on the ground and picking it up when the wrong person is passing by at the same time. I wonder if this "activist" cares about that at all.

I find it odd that the WD drives, at the 5400rpm speed, were able to write data faster than the 7200rpm Seagate drives. That seems counter-intuitive.

If there are less platters in the WD then the density will mean a speed boost even at a lower spin speed.

And then there's the difference between when a Christian commits some terror act for whatever political or personal motivation but not specific to Christianity vs a Muslim who commits a terror act specifically in the name of Islam. Motive does count for something when trying to determine and work with mediating root causes.

Before we cower in fear because ZOMG EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT ME

The worst part is probably NOT going to be that they know the CORRECT things about your health; the worst part will be when they know INCORRECT things about you. People have absolutely horrible times getting off the secret no-fly list of terrorists and that's just run by one government agency. Can you imagine if you have to convince 30+ different government agencies that they have you down incorrectly as being a modern Typhoid Mary? And just after you convince one or two of them to correct your record, their system gets an update back from one of the others resetting you back to where you started?
