Sutherland:
"Once an organization makes the transformation to agile or scrum or one of these iterations, there's often so much money left on the table, they can turn around and invest in their people and their own business processes and do it really, really well." Do I get a whiff of pie-in-the-sky here ?

I guess it's time to start storing your data on the Moon.
Oh, and I doubt that most law abiding companies are worried about this.

The US already has a flag there...
But I bet not only law abiding companies care, but individuals do too... did you read further... if the US does this, so can every other country that has a business presence in its borders.
How much do you trust EVERY other country to handle your information with integrity. The larger the surface area, the more likely there is a problem.

What? What has that got to do with anything?
This is about the US government telling the rest of the world that they do not have sovereignty over data that's on their soil.
People, companies, and organisations keep their data off US soil specifically because the US government has claimed the right to go in and rifle through that data. This case now says if you use cloud hosting by any US company then your data, anywhere in the world, is available at the beck and call of the US government.
The damage done to the US economy (not to mention reputation) is going to vastly outweigh any incremental value from the data it seeks to gain. Simply put: cloud hosting companies cannot afford the government's case to succeed.
This is insane. Totally insane.

I think this court case alone, win, lose or draw will do some serious damage. Who seriously thinks the US govt is going to stop trying to access international data.
Just how pissed are they going to be when China reciprocates?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I strongly suspect you are wrong.
If this case goes through, the company I work for will (Insurance sector) be legally required under European data protection law, to avoid using American cloud services.

I can see a new EU law coming along if the US Govt win this, to ban access to the data without a warrant. The EU are pretty tight on this stuff.

No need. MS Ireland would already be violating Irish law if it either hands over the demanded data directly, or lets someone from the US download it from their servers.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Several researchers over at Telefonica Research, all the way from Barcelona, Spain have created an algorithm that can measure a person's boredom just by looking at mobile activity, like the last time a person received a call or text message, and how often a person uses their phone. Wait, so can I! Are you reading about a study about smartphones? You're bored.
Ta-dah!

Meh, it's not exactly hard:
bool IsDanBored()
{
if (unlocked)
return true;
else return false;
}
