What's the logical path you take from "installing keyloggers on [your] machine" to "comporimis[ing your] hardware?"

A keylogger does nothing to compromise your hardware. It's pure software and has nothing to do with hardware. It's not, in point of fact, even interfacing with hardware: that's happening at the OS level, and the key logging software is picking up the keystrokes.

Well, it's pretty clear that your use case is the only one for the entire world so let's go to town!

If I had $450,000 to drop on a Supper Car I think I'd choose this:

(Yes, I'm aware that it's a truck.)

Guns don't kill people. Idiots who ride Suzuki GSX-R 750s at 80mph in first gear kill people. (Though, often, helpfully themselves as well.)

The beauty of your response which calls others out for automotive related stupidity while lumping a braking system in with a stability system is amazing.

The only thing ABS has to do with Stability is that the system is electronic. By that tenuous measure, the car's Electronic Fuel Injection system might as well be considered "stability control."

In fairness, I did find my the carburetors on my motorcycle made it difficult to ride without weaving all over the road, so you might have a point.

Old theory on Google: the engineering team believes in Do No Evil, the marketing teams believes in Make More Money.

I think there's a kernel of truth to this, but I also think that the line between the two becomes blurred as Google's services mature. I haven't used my gmail address in years at this point: it's forwarded, but I believe you get what you pay for so I pay for a hosting account and (several) domains and use those instead.

I'm one of the admins for a Google Apps for Business account at work. The only thing I have good to say about it is that I'm not going to have a server die. Drive is a nightmare, Calendar unreliable and flaky and the Docs apps aren't that useful unless you "go all in Google."

That last part could be true of the entire experience, really, save Drive which sorely lacks in many storage use cases that are essential to running a business. It's really focused on personal, not common files.

Google is doing a lot of evil right now, and I'd be hard pressed to recommend many of the core products.

This is fake. It has to be fake. It it's not fake, the authorities should be visiting your house.

> because he's got other things to do, i

Really? His days are booked? All those board meetings are interfering with, you know, BEING A FOUR YEAR OLD.

No four year old should have their own mobile phone. Not one.

because for teenage boys shooting things and blowing stuff up is a lot more fun over the long hall

What the hell does an "astroturf movement" mean?

has achieved the ultimate expression of the medium. People are no longer relevant to the process.

If you define "a good 30 minutes" as "quite some time" I shudder for the future of your attention span.

> I can't see flying to Idaho just to ride this

Seriously dude, every word in that sentence after Idaho is 100% redundant.

(I jest. I jest. It's a lovely state with some very nice $69 a night hotels.)

It's not that every part of New York has to become a tourist/terrorist trap: it just has to become a way to part people from their money.

A Wiki isn't an inherently bad or good form of documentation: like a light saber, its power can be used for good or evil.

If it's properly maintained and _key documents are managed and controlled_ it works well.

I, for one, welcome our new European overlords if they actually prove effective at punishing Google for their transgressions and regulating them into compliance.
