Comment Re:ICYMI: Frontline's Secret State of North Korea (Score 1) 62

Information is trivial to transport these days. Sneakernet seems a bit clumsy when you can broadcast bandwidth invisibly through the air, or at worst physically drop in millions of SD cards via cheap drone or light aircraft. Hell, if you are serious, you could drop in an millions of ipod nano sized media players fully loaded with propaganda, for the cost of one military jet. The Swarm effect is difficult to combat using conventional military tactics.

One trick that can work is the talking stick microphone. Use a regular wireless mic, and each person hands it to the next to talk. It may sound silly on the surface, but it can work well to also control the regular interuptive types that dominate these meetings. Not only a mic, but a talking stick as well.

Crap. If it was just SSO, then we wouldn't have been forced to share our contacts, or be nagged to connect with people we might know. Or have viable products shutdown and forced into the G+ alternative. G+ is a lame attempt at the social network information grab. Get as much info about as many people to be able to sell to advertisers. Fuck Google and fuck Facebook. They make Apple and Microsoft look good by comparison.

Not here they aren't. The FB experience is a whole lot better than that crap from Google, but I gave up FB recently because the signal/noise ratio was just getting too bad.
FB served it's purpose but like most things past their peak, it is becoming bogged down in shit. I have teenage kids, none of them use it, they're all on Instagram and some other apps I've never heard of.

Apples and Oranges. Sony have a pattern of executive decision making that deliberately shits on their customers for profit. The Coca Cola thing was local gang warfare by some business partner. That'd be like blaming Tim Cook, because some jerk in the local Apple store stole my wallet.
