To be honest not my safety and not my privacy is an issue - since we live in a democracy our life given to other to rule from birth to death...You can accept it and live a happy and long life or fight it and die in bitterness...
If a government goes too far in sniffing into my personal life (and I mean my offline life, as since I'm online I have no real personality) I will do what I think the best to do...But it has nothing to do with the sites I'm browsing and items I'm buying...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Perhaps not according to you, but it is valuable enough for companies to pay big bucks for it. For a government, that kind of information is even more valuable

I told my wife what I said; she said... can't repeat what she said.
But she understood it.

Backdoors "could be exploited by even the most repressive or dangerous regimes." "I want to be your back-door man."

How is it that some of the worlds "mightiest men" don't understand that backdoors can be exploited by anyone and are just a really bad idea...
I guess might does not equal smart.
And that worries me a lot more than encryption and backdoors!

Google has launched a new experimental Chrome extension that lets you transmit the URL of a website to other nearby computers using nothing but sound. "To name the chord is important to some, so they give it a word, and the word is OM."

I wonder why that URL isn't active? They could be making a lot of money off of it, although I guess they're just hoping someone will buy it off them.

New research finds that Internet speeds could be greatly increased by removing infrastructural latencies and that a speed-of-light Internet could be created for a fairly low cost. "Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is,"

All developers know about the importance of code reviews, but only some companies have a defined policy and just a few of them manage them effectively. A+++ Five Stars. Would compile again

Results from the CIO Executive Council’s ‘Power of Effective IT Communication’ benchmark survey indicate that IT teams lack the talent to communicate. This results in a state of crisis between IT and non-IT employees, which could prove disastrous in this era of unparalleled digital disruption. "What we've got here is failure to communicate"
Yes. Yes I did have to use that quote.

...it's not the IT teams that lack communication skills.
