Comment Public Information (Score 1) 124

As long as the information is publicly available, or obtained in a legal and or consenting way it should be fair game. The moment to attempt to restrict the use of information legally obtained or public information you begin to trample/control free speech. You may be pissed off Facebook sells your information, but you agreed for them to have it and do with it as they want, by using their platform. Screaming I want to use Facebook without them selling my information, is the same as saying I want free stuff. Remember, you are what Facebook sells!

Comment Re:I'm with right to repair if doesn't harm (Score 4, Interesting) 67

I disagree with your statement in whole. Apple does not sell parts, and is difficult to service. Samsung http://www.samsungparts.com/Mo... I can buy any part I want, and for a long time lead the way in water proof phones. it is a design choice to say, I need to make this serviceable and weather proof. The part can even be considered disposable, as long as I can replace it myself. Versus, I refuse to support people repairing their phones and putting mechanisms in place to make it almost impossible.

Comment Re:Rates of cancer haven't increased (Score 2) 175

Agreed. People have been exposed to higher and higher levels of electromagnetic radiation since the 40's, with no perceivable increase in cancer rates. This cancer thing comes up again and again. Radio, TV, Microwaves, Cell phones, etc. The problem is uneducated persons who happen to be in roles of power, falling victim to rumors and misinformation. Perhaps the scarier thing is I have an electrical engineer coworker who truely believes microwaves contaminate food.
