Reddit Co-founder Refuses To Invest In Facebook, Cites CISPA 0

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Monday May 07, @06:01PM

An anonymous reader writes "Over the weekend we heard how Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett won’t be buying Facebook shares as part of the company’s initial public offering (IPO). Now we’re hearing how Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian won't be buying Facebook stock either, but for a different reason. Ohanian has a problem with the fact that Facebook supports the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA)."

Audi did this in 2008 ... (the link is just some short enough FA that showed at first Google results page)

Yeah, we have the same as well. With a minor upgrade recently that checks your speed and if you driving over speed limit it puts there red light right in front of you. Great for ecology, traffic fluence, safety... you name it!

Mind you, speed limit is enforced with no tolerance so even at 3AM driving 2 km/h over limit assures red light. Is rather bullying us then helping.

So, how do I use your app/read data while offline? In airplane for example? Roaming users will kill you for extra costs, etc...

It's probably not the developers' fault, I think there is universal agreement that Android is much harder to develop for.

Citation needed. Really!

Yes but this is different matter here. One of the best Android out-of-the-box features is that you can lock it so that noone else can use that unless s/he knows your PIN/gesture/passwd/whatever. When the phone is locked, not even HW camera button works - and rightly so IMHO. Having soft camera button on the unlock screen kills it.

Furthermore I wonder if the camera launched by this soft button will still have that icon to get you to Gallery and browse all pictures taken in past ...
