Don't need to tell me. I already use AdBlock Plus and Ghostery.
I just see no reason to start any sort of "do not track initiative" when there are going to be slimy companies that ignore it anyway and even if there were legal requirements they follow it, they would just relocate outside the jurisdiction.
Without the cooperation of the advertising industry this will be as successful as the last "Do Not Track" initiative.
Let's remember that an operating system and computer applications are two different things.
Microsoft is no longer including a 100% free-in-cost Solitaire game with Windows, you're now asked to spend some of your attention watching ads to play.
That's not a change to Windows the operating system -- that's a change to some freebie game that was originally included with Windows. Call me back when Microsoft starts making me look at ads to mount a flash drive (with no way to disable them unless I pay).
Yeah, cause there are no other solitaire games for Windows you can play instead that are free. The rules for the game are owned by Microsoft, after all.
Talk about a case of wanting to throw out the baby with the bath water.
I was expecting some sort of Marvel tie-in myself.
Hey, we have the ASUS Transformer devices.
Must be great white sharks, though.
How about adding a button on the device? To modify anything, you need to hold the button. And it's a momentary push button, not a switch, so the user can't leave it enabled.
That sounds too much like WPS. And we know how that came out.
"The Honeywell Tuxedo Touch Controller web interface uses JavaScript to check for client authentication and redirect unauthorized users to a login page."
You'd think that a company like Honeywell would know better about security, especially as they have a whole cyber security division...
I'm sure they don't see any reason to expend such resources on the consumer space.
That expertise is reserved for getting government contracts.
The courts regularly rely on the official annotations to rule on cases, thereby making them a part of the law.
While everyone is focusing on the copyright angle, I find that interesting.
If the court is unable to understand the laws without Cliff's Notes, there's something wrong with the laws themselves.
Of course, you would use properly licensed modeling files, right?
I mean, you wouldn't download a car, would you?
Chrome DOES have "mute tab" button right on the tab - I use it everyday
You know, the summary is only four sentences long. Is your attention span too short to read the whole thing -- where in the next sentence it's mentioned it has to be enabled using the same trick you linked to?
Wait 'till they get a hold of the 23andMe data from yesterday.
Maybe they're just young people who are overworked (because they'll put up with it), and therefore appear to be over 30 to you?
Haven't we been reading about this for a few years now? LEO's not following the law when it comes to wiretaps and obtaining information from companies about customers they believe are connected to crimes they are investigating.
There's one thing missing in all these stories -- people at those agencies being held responsible for their actions.
You can't spell crook without "rook".
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
