This ruling shares all PNR data collected within Europe. It doesn't matter whether you are travelling to the US or to Botswana, your details have been stored and now will be handed over to the USA.

Or rather, Tweetminster, who seem to be quite adept at planting PR stories in the news. Meanwhile on the ground - hardly anyone in Africa uses twitter. Those that have access to mobiles and/or the internet use MXit, despite what Tweetminster/Portland Communication's recycled press releases would have you believe

Neither do I, what's the joke here?

Feist is on her fourth album, and it was released on Interscope/Polydor. Hardly fits the description of a Canadaian artist's second album released on an indie label. In fact I can't find anything fitting that description on the iTunes chart. The fact that the poster didn't name the artist makes me suspect they are full of shit.

Same here. I haven't had any mod points for 6 months, whereas I used to get them all the time. As far as I know, I have never abused the system - probably someone disagreed with the opinions I had moderated up.

Silverlight won't work in the plug-in free Metro IE either. What's the relevance of bringing that up? This isn't Microsoft's attempt to replace Flash with Silverlight.

Why not try the blind test and find out for yourself? If it's too tiring for you, you can always break it into separate sessions. There's no reason for your ears or your temporal lobe to get tired after listening to music samples for 5 minutes. By the way, your friend's MP3 player could well have been playing Xin-encoded 128kbps MP3s - that's not what we are talking about here. Try comparing a decent lossy encode to the equivalent FLAC. Unless of course, you want to carry on with the self-delusion that you are capable of hearing a percepitble difference where countless others have tried and failed. That's fine, kid yourself if it makes you feel better, but there's no need to come on here and spout ill-informed nonsense.

People, this could be massive ^^
Could have been, but turns out as usual they were just posting silly images and indulging in short-lived DDOS attacks. If only they would use their talents for good.

It makes the web unusable. I don't want to spend half my browsing time clicking on popups to decide if I want to allow every innocuous minor action by a pirce of sandboxed javascript code

Yep. These stories are always shill plants by PR firms. Shame a reputable news organization like CNN doesn't do some fact-checking to figure out this story is bogus
