Can users (or the website owners) sue them whenever it's shown that their streams are vectors of malware? I think advertisers suing might be opening pandora's litigious box.

I think people are reading too much into this, in fact I think people are misreading the article.

Think about WebMD...do people trust information on that website? How is that different from advice on any other website, including Facebook?

Facebook already has health related stuff already. I know people who are members of health related user groups on Facebook to help with mental issues, and it is beneficial for them.

This isn't about linking your Facebook account with your medical provider's health chart database..

I used to be an Usher for a Professional Basketball team before cameras on cellphones came out. Originally any camera other then a normal Point and Shoot were banned due to media licensing rights, we would confiscate and destroy film if someone was caught using one.

When Cellphones started to have cameras and video, we were originally told to do the same. Confiscate and watch them delete the image/video...but it was so ridiculously cumbersome that that was very quickly reversed. They are so prolific and hard to catch in the act, it's near impossible to enforce.

I can't believe the lawyers for the Forest Service haven't mentioned what happened in the Sporting industry...well actually I do believe it.

could they add data using the unheard frequencies, it could be picked up by software/hardware to interact with (identify) yet wouldn't interfere with the actual recording?

The same way you clone any encrypted container. You know you can image an encrypted drive? You still won't be able to access the data without decrypting it, if it's truly encrypted unlike the early iOS-we-say-it's-encrypted-but-it's-really-not fiasco, but you do have a copy of the drive.

"So far studies of foragers like the Tsimane, Arctic Inuit, and Hadza have found that these peoples traditionally didn't develop high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, or cardiovascular disease."

What is really odd is all of those are symptoms of something else besides diet. Maybe their excellent health had something more to do with say..their constant exercise? All they did was walk or run. They didn't get off the couch to go to the car, walk 50 feet then sit in a chair all day, then walk another 50 feet get in their car then go back to the couch.

This idea that "I can sit on my fat ass watching my TV and still be healthy if all I eat are nuts" is..nuts.

Its okay, haven't you been watching Scandal? They are truly a patriotic bunch of people who are only trying to protect us from a murderous terrorist who happens to be the long thought dead mother of the President's mistress. They exist outside the law because they do what others can't or won't do to protect the US of A.

there were stories about this in the past weeks..

"As part of the American Civil Liberties Union's recent report on police militarization, the Massachusetts chapter of the organization sent open records requests to SWAT teams across that state. It received an interesting response. As it turns out, a number of SWAT teams in the Bay State are operated by what are called law enforcement councils, or LECs. These LECs are funded by several police agencies in a given geographic area and overseen by an executive board, which is usually made up of police chiefs from member police departments...Some of these LECs have also apparently incorporated as 501(c)(3) organizations. And it’s here that we run into problems. According to the ACLU, the LECs are claiming that the 501(c)(3) status means that they're private corporations, not government agencies. And therefore, they say they're immune from open records requests."

also this link, which I think does a better (and more snarky) job in discussing the issue.

so true.

discrimination is discrimination, unless you're on the beneficiary side of the stick. But hey, isn't that what makes the US of A so special?

I needed to buy my family a new Camry, our old one was getting too old. The vtech just wasn't kicking in anymore. We love our new Camry, especially the Ford Sync thing that lets us sync up our iPhone and play music from the playstore.

Granted, that's just Office 365. But I would have thought everyone knew there are legit ways to get free or very low cost licenses for every MS product for Non-Profits?

Holy mother of awesome comments. This saved slashdot for me. thanks.

I've never looked into if what you described was possible (read lazy), but I've been wondering about it for quite some time.

Compare that to the % of the world population on the Internet at that time. Remember this was the age of 2400bps-33.6k. I would venture to guess AOL had a larger share of total people using the Internet then the % of people Facebook has. For many AOL *was* the internet..

I was thinking along the same lines. I enjoy fishing and come from a family that hunted for meat (bird, deer, elk, etc.) so I think it would be wrong to say hunting them should be outlawed.

However, the description of what they're doing seems to add unnecessary extended suffering and stress to the animals, which I think isn't "right."

I don't think the Polar Bears, Moose, Wolves and Reindeer care for the weather report.
