Comment Tin foil hat to remain on. (Score 1) 480

I think your fall back position is HIPPA. Unless Google is going to follow that (and I seriously doubt they would), keep the tin foil hat on. You could always say that in every Google building there is a screen that shows the latest search phrases. They scroll by constantly and can be seen from the outside of the buildings in some places. Do your employers really want to open themselves to that?

Comment Re:CableCard? (Score 4, Interesting) 200

So far so good with my CableCard. Didn't have to wait 2 weeks, called them on Weds and they were here Friday. Now having said that, least here in California, Comcast won't let you install them yourself. I looked on their Web siteand then called them (the local office and the 1-800 number) the answer was the same "We have to do it". After watching the tech do the install, just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, I was pissed. It took him 40 mins, 35 of it was being stuck on hold with the office to get the thing activated. He did absolutely nothing extra that someone who can read couldn't do. I mean I could have down this, anyone could have if they had a 6th grade education, why did you have to roll a tech out to do this....cause its the cable company. Seriously, I kinda hope this case shines some light on Comcast, TimeWarner and their ilk.
