Comment Re:Corporate applications? (Score 1) 204

Will this work for people sending messages to other random people? Probably not. But imagine a corporation deploying this system to all of their computers. Suddenly, the boss can tell their employees to do unethical things, make illegal threats, and so on without any chance that the FBI is suddenly going to show up and arrest him with evidence of his misdeeds.

It only takes one employee with a smartphone camera to completely destroy this model.

I hate the stupid "hey we have an app!" block that takes up real estate at the top of the screen every freaking time I chance upon any one of a million stupid sites. No, I don't want the dedicated app for your website - I view it maybe twice a year! No, I don't want to install an app to participate on your forum! Nor do I want your website sending me push notifications on OS X, for that matter.

I understand that you can't figure out how to make a living from your website... but that's your problem, not mine. Maybe you need to get a real job like the rest of us.

That study was specifically about bumblebees - not bees in general. And it's exactly one study; so, while it's interesting, it's not wise to put too much weight on its conclusions.

Also, most crops are not pollinated by bumblebees. The big pollinators here in North America are non-native European honey bees - and they are generally trucked from place to place by companies that specialize in providing pollination services.
