Dr Josef Oehmen, a research scientist at MIT, has written his take on the events, and why he's not worried about it.
I haven't finished reading this story yet (it's quite a few pages), but it's pretty interesting so far.

ouch, good point. +1 that

Actually, that's a rather frightningly creepy idea. Google is so much on top of gathering and processing data that by now, or quite possibly even years ago, they should be able to predict certain behaviour in it's users. I wonder how much of their motto "Don't be evil" will be left in the near future.

Sorry, gotta go, there are some nice gentlemen at the door who want to talk about my interests..

Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday, watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

My thoughts exactly.
Three deaths for the scientists. The last one for no better reason than the first..

Indeed it should have checkboxes instead of radiobuttons.

I myself use a point-and-shoot, a DSLR, I _have_ a cam in my phone (though never use it), and recently I got me a Diana F+ analogue cam. The images I get from the Diana are different, but very nice in their own way.

I am somewhat surprised at how popular analogue photography has become again. At a music festival recently I've seen 2 Diana's, 3 analogue fish-eyes, a Lomo and a guy with two analogue slrs. Then again, nowadays it seems like they're handing out dslrs with every loaf of bread you buy, so maybe that sparkles the analogue revival too.

One wants to differ from the rest, stand out.. :)

Hmmz, now that you mention it, the moon is always facing us with the same side, so maybe it's just some satellite with a huge picture attached to it, like a big night light! Yeah that must be it, 'they' just put the thing up as a big night light. Or maybe it's some kind of death star..
