  They've got another way of boning everyone hidden somewhere.  I think it's pretty sad that you have to connect it to the internet and register it just to be able to use it.  What about the people that don't have internet?

  I wouldn't buy one anyway......

If they don't already have, they may implement it in the future. See Sony's removal of boot to other os option from PS3.

  Yeah, I remember that.  Hard to believe that they pulled that one off....

Do we send the bugg reports to MS or the NSA?

  Don't matter who you send it to, the NSA will get a copy BEFORE the intended recipient does....

Google Glass panic triggers rise in facial-recognition blockers

Researchers in Japan have come up with a novel way to keep your face out of other people's snapshots taken on digital cameras, smartphones, and possibly Google Glass.

  Aaron's Law sounds like some good legislation, if it gets passed....

The Internet and all those who care about Aaron Swartz took a big step forward today

Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Sen. Ron Wyden just introduced "Aaron's Law", which would fix some of the worst parts of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), including those which make it a potential crime to violate terms of service agreements -- that fine print that nobody reads at the bottom of a website.

The CFAA is the law under which Aaron and other innovators and activists have been threatened with decades in prison. It is so broad that law enforcement says it criminalizes all sorts of mundane Internet use: Potentially even breaking a website's fine print terms of service agreement. Don't set up a MySpace page for your cat. Don't fudge your height on a dating site. Don't share your Facebook password with anybody: You could be committing a federal crime.

It's up to us to keep the Internet open, a place for sharing ideas, exploration and activism -- not for stifling creativity and criminalizing innovators.

As the bill's sponsors put it in a Wired.com Op-ed, "The events of the last couple of years have demonstrated that the public can speak loudly thanks to the Internet. And when it does, lawmakers will listen."

Let's make sure they hear us. Join us in calling on Congress to pass "Aaron's Law."
