tl;dr- As our alien progenitors remind us that the end is nigh, we must finish our sacred work collecting all datum of the Earth as final report for the human species.

I remember when Twitter launched, thinking how much better a name Pied Piper would've been. "Following" would make more sense, but also I like the concept of piping messages into the pipeworks, instead of tweeting tweets.

On topic, this looks fun though.

If your mommy and daddy pay your bills, it does not mean you have any smarts about you. I am reading some thoroughly biased comments here. Money is for people without skill, more often than not.

Propaganda, know thyself.

Best line:

>That’s why pepole are uneducated.

I think what tech companies do with information collected is absolutely no different from identity theft. They help themselves to quite a lot more than what any of their terms of service statements regard, and seem to be using said datum for increasingly nefarious aims.

In that respect, terms like "stolen", "lie", "heist", etc, are wholly apropos.

Except that no politician anywhere truly wants transparency. They want in that game specifically for the privileges.

Improving economy, bountiful jobs and rising wages? HN accepts links from the Twilight Zone now?

The author of that article doesn't seem to have the slightest grasp of who Obama is or what he's about. Hell, doing the right thing has never been what any American President has been about.

Ends with page 23. (skidoo)

There's all kinds of toys for that:

"Let's give them something to talk about.' - Bonnie Raitt

He asked about people dying in a terrorist attack, not in clandestine government activities.

What rationale was there beyond weaponization for inventing such a thing? This is sick.

They obviously will do whatever they feel they can get away with. If they feel entitled to illegally track non-users, how could anyone presume they'd give a rat's ass for actual users?

I survived some lean years on what I called the Yin-Yang diet: black coffee and white rice. Regular exercise also played an obvious role.

This is insane. Facebook does not care what its users think- even to the point of illegally tracking non-users.

Why give them money, why reward them, for their arrogance?

Or get Oliver Stone to direct your biopic.

I think massive tax-evasion schemes may also play a tiny part in this. And the ongoing practice of helping themselves to quite a bit more datum than even their terms of service warn.

A story I had published years ago:

"PRESTIDIGITATION"

or,

"The Curious Bi-Location of Professor Iszkahngaard's Reactionless Drive Transteleporter"

The robinbird fluttered, as most creatures sometimes do.

And continued Professor Iszkahngaard-

it’s a transmitter, specifically, a massive construct of steamfilled, geometrically incomprehensible clockworks

and miscellanea of unintelligible designs and mechanized phenomena. To be located, as it were, at the end of

time. Acting as the penultimate of beacons, attracting the decaying molecules of all that ever was (and could

have been, and might have been, and should have been), breaking them down to their basest subatomic particles

and transpositioning said subatomic particles to the receiver, my other construct of mechanized phenomena, which

would be located, as it were, at the very beginning of all that ever will be. Imagine- the endless wave of

subatomic matter broken down to nth degrees, base particles of energy broadcast via transteleportation from the

very end of everything, directly to the very beginning of everything. Now, as the creation of all that ever will

be obviously includes all of the possibilities of the infinite, then infinite energy is clearly required. This

is only possible using the energy of all that ever was, so as the particles neverendingly explode from my

receiver, they are immediately redistributed into the birthing of the possibility of everything, thus completing

the timeless circle of the omnidimensional continuum!

Question mark, implies the robinbird.

And continues Professor Iszkahngaard-

reverse interstellar transmogrification! Think of it as a process…at least that is what I told the buyer when he

picked up my invention earlier. Who? Well, GOD of course! And actually, it was more of a trade, really. After

all, what price could be ascribed to such an invention as my Reactionless Drive Teleporter? What did I receive

then in place of more traditional payment? I asked GOD to remove from not only all of existences, but from the

MEMORY of all of existences, something…something very particular…But you will have to excuse me of course, dear

friend, for I cannot seem to remember what it was…

The robinbird fluttered, as most creatures sometimes do.

This isn't exactly new.

That is actually a really great idea.

Thankfully, making money is not the purpose of life.

Bucket-brigade trailblazing across the four corners.

Gaze for long into the FNORDS and soon the FNORDS gaze back.

This article gave voice to a really big fear of mine. And I am "that guy" who tries actively to boycott all things Google, even while seeing the futility of such a measure. But baskets suck for eggs.

Totally bogus propaganda.

Post a blatantly Liberal view on any article linked at the Drudge Report, with target email applied to whatever sign-in.

"All new truths begin as heresy."

Agreed. That or porn.
