" ... the number of escapees was so small as to be undetectable." Until the undetectable escapees start multiplying and sudeenly they're detectable.

You have to take everyone's perspective into account. He wants all the info he can get, for free.

They thought Google+ and Glass were good ideas too.

Snail mail and land line phones were never secure, all it took was a search warrant/court order (really easy to get) and the police had it. Email is no different. All the ranting about the NSA and government intrusion just diverts from the fact that; 1) if you don't want anyone to hear what you say, don't say it. 2) if you don't want anyone to read what you write, don't write it down. The USA founding fathers lived with the knowledge that they would be held accountable for what they said and wrote, and today it's no different.

Who wastes their time watching the "lowest common denominator" garbage troweled out on TV?

"This is standard stuff" - like being a d*ck is ok because it's standard? The only thing standard about the 90-day notice is someone made it up. Can't imagine who lol. "Keep vulnerabilities out of the NSA toolkit" - your tinfoil beanie is slipping. This is just another case of a big tech company being a-holes just because they can be.

Hacked = CEO and CFO ran off with the money

Serving me ads when I don't have my phone out of my pocket, so Google can make more money.

Stupidity and fear.

Everyone has been spying on everyone else in every imaginable way (and some unimaginable ways) since time immemorial. Only the fundamentally naive and those who didn't, and still don't, care thought/think no one was/is spying. Nothing has changed and the world hasn't ended ... but several pseudo-journalists make a decent living fanning the flames of paranoia amongst the conspiracy theorists.

I'd like to put Chevy parts in my BMW, but it's neither Chevy's nor BMW's problem, it's a problem with me feeling self-entitled to have things "my" way regardless the realities of life.

An imbecile makes threats specifically against his ex-wife and local police, then tries to hide behind "freedom of speech" after they took his intimidating and threatening rants (calling them rap lyrics is being way too generous) seriously. I guess he thought this was golf and he'd get a mulligan.

I didn't know Kim Dotcom could fly. Float, maybe.

Besides being the subject of a lot of clickbait, exactly what has he accomplished?

Because then he becomes even more irrelevant than he already is.
