Because that worked so well for them recently? Truth is this is a no-win situation for them. No matter what they do, a small number of anti-Google fanatics will cry bloody murder, and low-quality editors will help them spread their nonsense.

Now before you go crying about that "fanatics" I used, let's take a look at three points:
1) EPIC's "report" glosses over the fact that the supposed "overbroad" terms are global to the entire collection of Google services, and was not specifically designed for Google Drive. So attributing a bunch of general terms which apply to a comment you post on a public Google+ photo, to your private Google Drive files is naive at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.
2) That was "reported" by MacWorld. Not exactly a clutch of Google fans who are trustworthy in checking the facts.
3) Who are the other so-called "privacy advocates" in the MacWorld story? DropBox users.

Next thing you know, we'll have Linux users coming here and ripping on Microsoft.

Until a decent reporter tells us something substantial, this should be seen as a non-story to all but the tin-foil folks.

You'd be correct under other circumstances.

But the article I found on Google News' health section explained there was no effectiveness in using a ridiculous form of treatment, so reading that article would not actually be useful to people suffering from migraines.

Neither, because they can just switch to using ground moose for a couple months.

But seriously, they probably don't import very much beef from California dairy farms so this is a non-issue.

Or it's just that it's lower down in the health section because it's simply far more important for people to know that you can't fix migraines with... botox?

Yeah, we're all screwed up over here. Thanks for the reminder.

Had my own scare at sea. I was sailing in the Med., woke up from a catnap and freaked out by the moon on my mainsail, thinking I drifted into a shipping lane.

That may be the more difficult option, thus not the one immediately suggested.
You can quite easily substitute the small sugary food source for your own bees. It's could be much trickier to get your neighbors to risk their crop yields by trying out a different pesticide.

Perhaps, but that's the technical term and everyone agrees on its usage.

Got a problem with the word? Take it up with Webster, or change your handle to HumptyDumpty.

I stand corrected. The biggest problem is opinionated idiots. Thanks for pointing that out.

Did you really think my over-the-top hyperbole was a serious discussion of practical solutions? It wasn't meant to be. Sorry if that confused you to the point where you felt the need to devise your own straw man.

Best of luck wishing for a better world where things just sort themselves out. That's definitely practical, and so very likely.

And your answer to this supposed problem you raise, Mr. Cynic, would be... what?

Raise court fees from people who raise an issue with the election system?
Fine, or throw people in jail if the judge happens to rule against them?
Solve disputes the old fashioned way, in the Colosseum?

Way bigger a problem than the money spent on this minor lawsuit, is that we have taxpayers who are useless asshats who can only complain when taxes aren't spent on them personally, but couldn't be bothered to spend a minute to come up with a better idea.

Pretty much. And the result was we live in a better, more private world thanks to it (assuming Google stays the course, of course).

Actually, that could be a good thing here in the United States.

Americans are stupid to not only expect, but actually believe that their politicians are a bunch of perfect little angels. They're fucking politicians for crying out loud. But we forget that and miss the contradiction come election time.

In a world where you know politicians are flawed from the start, people might actually care about important issues like policy, campaign bankrollers, and puppetmasters like turdblossom.

It's been a long time since I studied this in detail back in school, but I'm pretty sure that Maggie Simpson and Mickey Mouse are "fiction".

Kind of like the story of creation.
