nathas··on Live: Head of NSA meets with House Intelligence Committee
"Because you share that information with phone companies, etc".

He referenced a court decision about that. Can someone who knows what the case might be find it?

nathas··on Edward Snowden: Classified US data shows Hong Kong hacking targets
I'd put good money that this was a black flag article pushed by the USA.

It seems out of character to go from "I'm not trying to get anyone hurt/in trouble, just showing the public what's wrong." to "Here's some info about China WHAT NOW USA!?"

> Snowden is not a justice, an elected representative, or someone in general who we want deciding what we should and shouldn't know

You're going to trust the people in power to make the judgement calls over their own power....? "Hey guys we can blackmail anyone. Let's make sure that the proper checks and balances are placed on that, I hate unlimited knowledge and power."

I just feel that shifts from a "we're going to legally bully you" to "cmon, we let you know".

If someone were to get a notice saying, "Hey, we're going to drop a bomb on you in 3 months. You might want to leave." and continues to live there stubbornly, then complains a bomb got dropped on them, whose fault is it? Clearly it doesn't mean you didn't get a bomb dropped on you, but it kind of nullifies your right to complain about it.

Mozilla and MOZ provide pretty different products. If your in a different category, it's often not "reasonable".

It's the same with Mojang's "Scrolls" vs Bethesda's "Elder Scrolls". It's silly, but because they're both in the video game category, it was a problem. If someone sold a product named "Scrolls" that was a gummy candy that looked like a scroll, it would probably be fine.

The law is unfortunate either way.

A very important snippet from the comments from Sarah Bird (COO of Moz)

> So, I did what I would want someone to do for me. In January, I called him to give him a personal heads up that we had a problem, that the brand felt too close for us. I told him we had a registered intent-to-use, and that we were planning on launching soon, just like him. I asked him to use a different brand for his future product or that we would have to cancel his mark. He explained to me that his product is different enough from ours that there wouldn’t be confusion. I urged him to talk to his lawyer and get independent advice before he launched his product.

There's a secret ending to Hotline Miami that made it one of the most thought provoking games I've ever played.

Rarely am I moved by a game nowadays. It's heavy. Hotline Miami alone is worth it.
