  Why the Government can collect all telepathic thoughts.

  Brain waves are a form of electro magnetic energy. In order for someone to read your thoughts they would have to be broadcast outside of your skull. Outside of your skull is public. Therefore you are placing your thoughts into a public area and can have no expectation of privacy.

  Person of Interest

  Referrals to the NSA snooping make me think of the CBS show Person of Interest.
  Advisors reminds me of how we were able to stay out of Viet Nam because we only had advisors not troops.

  Re: Taxi!

  hit send too soon.
  I pay people to do jobs:
  I don't want to do
  I don't have time to do
  I do seldom enough that I do not have the required tools to do it.
  I don't evaluate whether or not the job is pleasant.

  Which you know how? The evidence Ron Paul submitted apparently submitted did not seem to persuade the domain commission.

  If there is a phone out there that could survive a crash with readable data, I think I would like to buy it. It could also survive my 3 year old then.

  Re:

  I bought both my children and grandchildren dictionaries. The reason for this is that when I was a child, I learned quite a bit from words I found on the way to words I was actually trying to find. If you can customize everything you can see you won't find things you don't know. The sad thing is you won't even know you missed them.

  One party consent

  If only one party could consent a lot more politicians would find their phone calls presented at their trials. This would not go well from their point of view.

  Re: Transparency

  So I just have to accept that the medication the doctor proscribes for my condition will not cause me side effects. How about whether or not a resturant has passed a health inspection? It is commercially sensitive. Or is it only large companies with lots of lawyers who do not have to share their information?

  update

  Updated 06/08/2012: It turns out that the developers in question were actually censured for keyword spam -- they overloaded their app descriptions and meta data with keywords. This happened to coincide with the roll-out of the new guidelines. You can read more about Google's Play policies here.
