Thought I'd throw this out there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei_Symantec and this http://www.huaweisymantec.us/ and this http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/technology/symantec-dissolves-alliance-with-huawei-of-china.html?_r=0 Is the alliance is over?

It is called profiling to empower industry and political leaders for social engineering.
While you are doing your best to be all you can be, they are setting up roadblocks to prevent you from achieving the success that you seek. This will become more and more apparent over time. That is exactly what their goals are with these tracking efforts. Social Engineering. To think or believe otherwise is being the fool.

This, Tax issue, And perhaps the data Amazon is collecting is not being shared with the government.

Concern about companies that don't collude with government to track and streamline targeted life oppression upon the public, groups or individuals.

A street address does not reveal what your online activities may be. But between you and your hardware mac addresses and your isp with their assigned ip address, one can most certainly sniff out passing packet information. A I am sure you know there are federal laws that prevent others from accessing your mail and reading it. IMHO any packet passing through your router via modem via your isp should have the same outright protection as a letter in your mailbox. Regardless if your wifi is password protected. How many mail boxes have locks on them? What Google did was the equivalent of going through your street mail box, reading parts of a letter, except in digital, wireless form by way of capturing packets. Think about it.

Soulskill is on my ignore list now.

                                                                             

All while Google assists our own governments campaign (patriot act & such). Witness the hand of justice, while the other hand of deceit works behind your back. Dismantling our foundation of liberty by limiting economic freedoms by Google providing information & assistance with corporations and government. Marketing, Statistical information about anyones life, what harm can it do? NO, this information will never paint a target on your back, regardless of your idealogical or political stance. Sure, right. Hide in your cave. Careful what you chisel on the walls. Be a good slave & stay within your debt/credit system and you'll be fine.

Apple, I know what you are up to, along with the rest of you who have your head in the clouds.

Just remember, when your fluffy white cloud is gone, there is nothing left but clear blue sky.

And what of tomorrow?

First post on a 40 minute old topic, on /. must be a record. Yes ban'em Its about what you know. Not how well you can get your math machine to minimize your effort. Have a bad memory, use a dictation device. Save the computer use for the library or outside the classroom. Unless the coarse of study resides in the digital realm, keep it out of the classroom.

Look, We call it porn because it IS porn. So just like a library or book store does with its reading material, lets make it MANDATORY we only allow porn sites to reside on .SEX & .XXX top level domains. Then have the home router manufacturers like Linksys, Netgear, Dlink etc..create within the administration settings an ability to block top levels domains SUCH as .xxx / .sex for little Johnny. We'll have a slightly better organization of OUR PRECIOUS PORN & put responsibility back in the hands of the parents. Google/Firefox/Microsoft can EASILY release a browser for kids that explicitly without option leaves top level domains SUCH as .sex & .xxx sites OFF the pictures/search results list. FFS, we used to make it next to impossible SEEING porn as a youth some 20 odd years ago. Now it seems all we want to DO is corrupt or entice our youth with it. WHY, what is the motivation to do this? So sick of this Nanny State crap. Government, Bureaucrats and lawyers all making money by eliminating my liberties, choice and CONTROL through attempting to turn Corporations into Police agents against the people all whilst exploiting my/our children is a sick perverted joke and needs to STOP NOW. When will this problem be solved logically, without turning our ISP into the internet police. We don't need no damn internet police. We just need organization, categorization and tools to empower THE PEOPLE.

A childs curiosity is a natural thing. I would hardly call it violence or destructive unless you yourself value artificial life over human beings. Which begs me to wonder just what universe YOU may be in. I'll keep this short and sweet. PEOPLE, HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS That is what we are and that is how we relate. If a particular culture wishes to subject their offspring to this kind of learning experience, so be it. But as far as humane reasoning exists, I am pretty confident that MOST cultures will still opt for people being teachers. I would never seek out nor allow a robot to tell me or my children what to do or learn, ever. BTW do you even HAVE any children... DUDE?

Video Games are a reflection of our STRUCTURED SOCIAL SYSTEM. Same with a child's behavior. It is a reflection of our SOCIAL STRUCTURE. And it is NOT the child fault, it is our own fault as adults. Here is a video about Bullying by a gentleman who holds degrees in History and Philosphy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KxUkRdjD3k

All those songs are about selling out your relationships with others.
Compromising dignity and morality to get some and then gloat about it.

Who can blame the youth of today when elders such as Gene boasted about such past times. The only difference is that today, not only do we have horrible messed up relationships with others. Think reality TV etc... Now it has manifested its corruption/exploitation into the material world. IE music It is all piracy of the body and what it creates.

Only difference is now he is the whore getting used, not some bimbo who wets her pants for absurdity.
He is a hypocrite.
He promoted selling out and low standard of relations long ago and now that is just what he has to do.

How does it feel Gene you worthless whiny a$$hat.
What goes around comes around.
No remorse.

p.s. I always hated your crap from day one.
