Here in Melbourne for about 4 months Chrome had an excessive add campaign in one of the main train stations.
That coupled with the youtube and TV ads they're really catching the lay-person market for web browsing.

That's the whole point.
They're well aware that 99% of the cyber-crime doesn't happen where their laws can reach, the rhetoric is for the justification so they can then use it for other purposes .
They do the same thing here in Australia (and probably every other country) all the time.

Replicate the experiment with the participants using illicit drugs?

Must have been a very uneasy time for society.

Wikileaks was there to "stick it" to the "man", where as these corporations are looking for ways to maximise profit.

It's pretty disgusting/misleading to promise anonymity when clearly they're not going to think twice about selling you out if they get a gentle nudge.

Shouldn't journalists with integrity have the inside scoop? The ones that will go to jail instead of giving up their source?

Yeah but did they beat someone at Jeopardy?

Also aren't we suppose to have flying cars by now?

It's called a cash advance.
Since they now have pin numbers on Credit Cards you can withdraw from ATM's using it.
The interest rate on cash advances are generally the same or 1% higher than the cards (If you have a base rate of like 11% or a little higher they will be about 19-20%) interest rate except they apply straight away.
So you're not paying that much interest on top of them anyway.

All of the big 4 had to cancel and re-issue a heap of cards not just the Commonwealth Bank.

If you read/compare the guidelines they're completely different.

No restriction on themes
Things that are completely permitted: Language, Drug Use, Nudity
Sex can now be simulated.

What I am interested in is that RC doesn't seem to have changed and would allow the classification board to block content on the same merits they used to.

They are definitely not designed by pale creatures.

This is the work of a marketing department that knows exactly how to sell shitty things to stupid people.

"Oooo shiny!" Is what I the common selling point is.

Aussie telcos raped(still rape) their customers with DATA prices. Only recently have we started to get unlimited caps for mobile, but even then as soon as you roam you get charged through the teeth. It's sad that the US companies decided to go down this path, but they're gonna start posting some record profits so maybe it's a good time to invest.

Makes me wonder how little they're getting paid or how horrible their working conditions are that every new apple product seems to get leaked. Not to mention all those suicides a while back.

Just send the warning letters to everyone who supports the bill. They won't be so chipper then.
