  A rather non-complementary review

  on Daily Deal: Zoolz Complete Cloud Storage
  After a dozen websites that seem to be heavily SEO, and thus untrustworthy, I found this as the first seemingly legitimate review. He doesn't review this particular pricing plan.

  Security? Security? Bueller?

  Any encryption? Or are the files just sent in the clear and stored on anonymous FTP servers? Who can decrypt?

  Great! Now, how much would it cost to...

  on You Can Now Turn Off Ads On Techdirt
  ...hire someone to vet the TechDirt Deals which have consistently been overpriced garbage?
  
  Or do I need to write myself a greasemonkey script?

  Unfortunately, "download and hide" still subjects you to the javascript/flash/CSS security risks.

  Such naivete

  on NYPD Settles Case In Which It Arrested Guy For Recording Stop And Frisk, Pays $125,000
  This has been going on for years. Rights are violated, lawsuit is filed, the city settles it for peanuts, and nothing changes. Some members of the city council publicly grumble about how much is being paid out in settlements, but they don't have any power. The mayor supposedly appoints the police commissioner, but the choices are limited.

  Here's why it's not funny

  on Aretha Franklin Doesn't Get Satire: Plans To Sue Satirical News Site Over Joke Story
  It's not satire. It's racism.
  
  Satire is mocking the foibles/flaws of an entity. This article does none of that. It mocks black women, specifically by reducing them to stereotypes.
  
  If you find it funny, you're being racist.
