Comment Good for them (Score 1) 391

I find myself surprisingly on the side of the convictors in this case. I don't care if every stupid video of some cretin doing something nasty gets posted publicly; free speech is a great thing, but it should not be Google's position to blindly defend it. Providing a place for this kind of media results in a gray area for the behavior depicted.

Copyright belongs to the person behind the camera, admittedly. However, responsibility for showing to the world mistreatment of living beings does fall to Google for *not* screening it privately first.

There can be other places to post videos of cruel behavior; Google does not to staunchly defend people's rights here, and unless they mean to, they should admit responsibility and discontinue allowing inappropriate media to be posted. If they don't want to provide the resources for financial or other reason, fine. Stop allowing posting altogether and get out of the video-hosting business. If they want to provide a place for people to show their true selves, however, they should be prepared to defend them or accept punishment on their behalf.

Comment Software for a unique interface for mobile devices (Score 1) 199

Samsung does have a line of netbooks (mostly same spec as everyone else, but oooh! colors!) and presumably regular laptops, but I can't believe no one's pointed out on this thread that enlightenment is meant for mobile devices, and since Samsung currently has a meagre Android lineup, apparently replacing their Instinct line with the Moment, this sponsorship could finally lead them to market dominance in one area, when they have spread themselves thin trying to be an everything company. This is their one foothold on making a unique and great interactive experience.

Being an Android and Enlightenment fan (and current Instinct S30 owner), I will be following this closely -- and trying OpenGEU, since someone mentioned it earlier.
