Let me say this again more clearly, why should it degrade when instead they shouldn't have any of your data IN THE FIRST PLACE. You don't have to degrade what you don't have.

This advice doesn't make sense. Why should it degrade? They shouldn't record it in the first place! What private information do they need to "improve their service"? If they don't sell our personal data, then they shouldn't record it!

I'm definitely looking for something long term. I didn't know that Windows used a proprietary format, I just thought they had finally started supporting the standard.

This seems ok, but doesn't look like there's much capability to group and tag multiple photos at once. It would take a long time to tag all 7000 by hand :(
Submission + - Help finding a good photo manager?
JeremyDuffy writes: Ask Slashdot: I have an photo project of over 7000 photos. I want to tag them based on location, time of day, who's in them, etc. Doing this by hand one at a time through the Windows 7 interface in explorer is practically madness. There has to be a better way. Is there a photo manager that can easily group and manage file tags? And most importantly, something that stores the tag and other data (description etc) in the FILE not just a database? I don't care if the thing has a database, but the data MUST be in the file so when I upload the files to the Internet, the tags are in place.

I'm surprised anyone would look for these things after learning about how bad they are. Not even counting the security and privacy issues, there's the medical problems with them tunneling through the skin under certain types of medical scanners and the link between RFID chip implants and cancer found by various researchers.
Of course, I very rarely see anyone suggesting that THEY themselves get one, it's usually "oh we should put those in... those other people (immigrants, alzheimer's patients, Aids patients) etc.
Submission + - Man Wins Partial Victory In Circuit City Arrest (michaelrighi.com)
JeremyDuffy writes: "Michael Righi, the man who was arrested at Circuit City for failing to show his reciept/driver's license, has fought a moral battle against the city for almost a month now. The case has already been settled and he emerged victorious... sort of.
It turns out that he's already spent almost $7500 and would have kept fighting them too, but because his family would have been dragged into it, he was forced to take a deal. They've expunged his record and dropped all charges, but he had to give up his right to sue the city to do it."
