  That legalese isn't really his. It is pretty standard on any company's earnings release and other press releases.

  "2) Mobile device companies like Apple and Google will hold on to a key that can be used to unlock your device when they are forced to do so.
  
  What will change? Nothing."
  
  Nothing will change? Adding back doors to encryption is nothing?

  on Australian Politicians Create An Exemption From Data Retention Laws For Themselves... Or Not, Because We Got Fooled

  on Judge Not Too Concerned That 68-Year-Old Woman's House Was Raided Because Someone Used Her Open WiFi To Post A Threat
  "Two days later, the police raided Derrick Murray's residence and recovered the device used to post the threats to Topix. Notably, Murray watched the raid of Milan's house go down from the comfort of his mother's porch."
  
  It's like the police were trying to make it harder on themselves by giving Murray two days to hide the evidence. They're just lucky he was dumb enough not to.

  Curious how the sherrif's department got this video. Was it willingly handed over or obtained by, "other," means.

  nothing new

  on AT&T Can Foist Its Data Plans On You, Whether You Use It Or Not
  As annoying as it is, this is nothing new. I know Verizon has been doing it for pretty much as long as smart phones have existed.

  confused (as Indolent)

  on Murder Case Upended After Police Read Phone Texts Without A Warrant
  I'm no expert, so maybe someone can enlighten me on a couple things.
  
  1. How does it violate the boyfriend's 4th amendment rights if they searched his girlfriend's phone?
  
  2. She called police into her home. While they were there, they found this evidence. What part about that makes it an illegal search?

  another effect

  on The Silencing Of Guy Adams Gives Another Graphical Representation Of The Streisand Effect
  Number of google results with Gary Zenkel's email address.
  
  By searching for the email address in quotes here:http://agoogleaday.com/#date=2012-07-29
  
  June 29th: 141
  Today: ~5,900
  
  And honestly, most of the 141 results are websites where the deja google machine doesn't seem to work.
  
  Way to put a silence to that "private" email address...
