So it would only be a problem if Facebook were the type to change your privacy settings against your will without telling you???

So if five people try to beat you up and only one person tries to beat me up, that means you're weaker than me?

I personally think the only reason they're considering getting rid of this patent is, it could hold back corporations from shoving advertisements down your throat, which is something they really want to do. If the only people interested in this were millions of hardworking American citizens, nothing would be done about it.

You don't suck until you start cutting deals to have your product be the default included with everything, so they never find out something better is out there.

Just for the record, Slashdot mods people to -1, effectively "blocking" them, for posting pictures of "goatse". The United States not only blocks but arrests people for naked pictures of children. Do you think any of that makes headlines in Pakistan? People, who have the ability, are going to block things they find offensive. And pointing out that they are blocking something you don't find offensive doesn't make you better than them.

I guess if you consider Arm's "market share" to be tablets and Intel's "market share" to be Windows and OSX computers then the article summary might make more sense.

I'm not saying this is a good policy, but doesn't the United States government reserve the right to decline any lawsuit filed against it in the United States?

Doesn't Google do the same thing on any website with an embedded YouTube video or AdSense advertisement?

On Facebook, people actually specify what they're interested in though. Even so much as to say they "Like" Oreo cookies, Dr. Pepper, Vampire Diaries, Exercise, and whatever else. That might be more specific than assuming somebody likes Oreo cookies because they searched for Oreo. They might be searching because they have no idea what it is, or wonder why somebody would call a person that. Also, Google apparently places AdSense advertisements on webpages where people aren't necessarily looking for the product in the advertisement.
