Everyone is trying to figure out which encryption technique can bypass the law when it's already too late. The best solution for this type of case is to keep your damn mouth shut and don't talk about the contents of the drive.

"the police had recorded a phone call between Fricosu and her husband in which she seemed to acknowledge ownership of the laptop and to reference incriminating material on it."

Without that recording, the prosecutions case would be a lot weaker. Sure, encrypt your files, but keep your mouth shut about it!
Bing has been doing a similar thing with Facebook for awhile haven't they? I'm not sure they could really make a large fuss without seeming entirely hypocritical. Of course I think Facebook and Twitter are a bit hypocritical for complaining about this while trying to charge Google for the data that would allow their products to be added successfully to SPYW.
A way that wouldn't rely on the honor system is by having the content creator prove he controls that URL.

Let's say I post a link to Coding Horror. The system accumulates bitcoins as people upvote it, and then Jeff Atwood wants to claim them. He would simply register and a small piece of HTML with an unique value would be generated, which he would copy to that blog post.

The system can now verify the post is his and charge his address.

It's somewhat complicated (although not difficult to actually do), but on the other hand, we're talking about Bitcoin users ;)

I think it means Tim Cook is a smart executive who doesn't write off his competitors.

Even if you look at Apple's history, way back when, IBM wrote off "all that software stuff" that Microsoft was doing. MSFT ended up having the last laugh there as they ate IBM's lunch with software.

(True, IBM did pivot, but I'm thinking in the Apple/Microsoft perspective).

[EDIT: plus, Microsoft trounced Apple once. That means they could do it again.]
Holy crap. That's enough to buy a controlling share of AT&T, almost all of Verizon, Sony 5 times over, Viacom 3 times over... It's hard to imagine how they could spend that on facilities or R&D, and AAPL's not the kind of company to take a loss on something in order to corner the market like AMZN. I can't imagine what they would spend it on.

Actually, speaking of Amazon, Apple could buy them easily, and still have enough money left over for Netflix.

Thisw is, of course, idle speculation, but it does serve to highlight just how much they could throw their weight around, if they wanted to.
By the way, it's surprising and welcome to see how much people like games which are based on construction and crafting.

Technically true with one caveat. If you have a reasonable expectation of litigation you are required to put all data destruction on hold. Reasonable can be up to the court to decide and the burden of proving that you did put a litigation hold into place is yours to prove.

Could you not then argue the same for data encryption? Bruteforcing it would be the equivalent of a blowtorch in that case. Would that not then mean that they can compel you to give the key/password?
1. Tierney is a journalist. (Neither Wikipedia nor his nytimes.com bio seem to specify what his degree is in.)

2. Though this was not its intent, Markovitz's article can be taken as a warning about particular failure modes of to-do lists rather than an unequivocal critique of them.

I agree with your point, though.

Search Plus Your World itself can change and evolve.

All of this negative media is being perpetuated by Twitter and Facebook who are losing massive amounts of free traffic they used to get.

If Twitter and Facebook want to be guaranteed to be in Google's results, then they should guarantee that Google/Google+, etc. show up in Twitter and Facebook's search, though that's probably not a very good deal for Google - and Facebook wouldn't do that because of their closed/controlled ecosystem, and Twitter wouldn't want that traffic leak either.

I would point this to being hypocritical and just trying to stir up negative public opinion about the whole thing - because it's all Twitter/Facebook are able to do.

Don't you think Google is tracking the effects of their changes?

And they likely did small tests first too. They can still measure the user's experience and maybe it actually is providing results people care and benefit from just as much.
oh yeah, awesome point. I'm totally dependent on the calendar. I share with my gf and friends... That's a tough one. Why google, why? ='(

Wow, I go to some trouble to research your question for you, but you reply in complaint without trying it out. e.g. try it with more than one language selected for search. You can also test your questions with specific queries (e.g. using terms that seem unlikely to be translated). Also, consider that you didn't know what results Google wasn't returning in the first place, years ago (e.g. by not having indexed them).

Google aims at working without thought. But it can only do so for one target audience, and unfortunately for technically minded folk, that target has to be mainstream users. Fortunately, technical folk are usually curious to explore and customize technology.

EDIT just confirmed that it does use added search languages, as expected. e.g. if I add german and french, it provides: "Search English and French and German pages" Note: I'm not doing this for you; but because I'm curious.
Then it depends on what you destroyed. If the data is provenly destroyed there are limits to what you can be charged with. If what your hiding is worse this still maybe a viable option. If however the data is still recoverable with your cooperation I believe you could be jailed in contempt indefinitely (until you cooperate).
I would much prefer to see Google fail trying to stay relevant than fail (like RIM) for not being able to adapt.
Great job guys. Add in the support for subreddits and you've got yourself an instantly addictive product!
Thanks for your feedback.

- We didn't realise that mongo had such a negative connotation Portuguese - in british english it doesn't. We'll probably stick with it for the time being but change it if we offend people.

- Yes, we really want to add in a way to select different subreddits. Not too sure about letting people sign in though but definitely a good idea.

- We might go for non-obtrusive game mechanics, so the progress bar + points + leaderboard + tweet progress. It just didn't make it into this release.

- Preloading images is a good idea that we didn't think about.
search for mark zuckerberg in google. Which is the first social network page that shows up in the search ranking(ranked by google based on publicly available data and its own click-thru data). Why dont they just show that page rather than the google-plus page, whose rank is probably so low it doesn't even show up in the organic search first 10 pages...
I'm saying that the kind of click-thru data that google is asking for is private business-critical data. If google expects facebook/twitter to release that, that is akin to google being asked to release the click-data on all query/website combinations which forms the most critical signal in search ranking.
Here's a Prolog implementation of bubblesort (taken from Bratko's Prolog Programming for AI).

bubblesort(List, Sorted) :-
swap(List, List1), !,
bubblesort(List1, Sorted).

swap([X,Y|Rest], [Y,X|Rest) :-
gt(X,Y).
swap([Z|Rest], [Z|Rest1]) :-
swap(Rest, Rest1).
That's nonsense though. Facebook shows up in search results too. I see where you're going with that, but it's invalid.
I absolutely agree. There's no objectivity in ranking search results.
This nonsense gets voted up? Why cater to Google bashers, because that's all the author is doing.
I think it is different to show 'the portal results' and to show 'also my social results'.

That's a crucial distinction.
Reminds me of the iPad app Prism: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/prism-the-image-browser/id488...
How expendable are your early users?
No. One restaurant is unlikely to be able to make billions in profit. It is unlikely to be able to make billions in profit from charging millions of people much more than a product is actually worth to produce. That is, of course, because the dinners in that restaurant are not mass produced for the millions, but finely produced for the very few.

Of course most businesses try to charge the highest possible price, but that does not mean that to do so is necessarily right as far as society as a whole is concerned. What, for example, has Bill Gates done to be worth more than whole countries but win some genetic lottery. How many millions are poor and perhaps starving and how many geniuses or great inventions have we missed on because of the insane concentration of wealth that our society permits on the hand of very few people or companies?

Just because communism has failed I do not think means we should all try and rip off each other through an exploitative monopoly of invention. Not Apple, nor any other business can make 30% profit which amounts to billions by morally clean means. That, I think, is what makes me uneasy.

Apple dealt with that issue a while back. They constantly tried to downplay it until they came out with newer models that didn't have the issue. The Apple fanboys of the day were constantly berating the people that complained about it stating that they "must be dirty, sweaty and days without a shower." I remember constant calls for people to, "just wash your hands."
Sh*t Rich People Say
So, Google got scared about the possibility of a 'Facebook Web Search' for nothing?
I am not sure about the "antitrust litigation" claim you make. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Google. There are tons of old search engines and new ones coming up every year. This is very different than having a computer where Windows is installed by default, instead of having the choice of your OS.

It's like saying Facebook is also "abusing its market power" because it only shows you contacts on Facebook and not on Google+. Sorry, but this cannot work this way, when you are on one network, you agree with the principles of that network, or you use another. There's no lack of options out there.

A blowtorch can open such a safe in <1 day. Depending on the encryption, cracking it in a year might be impressive. And that assumes they can prove it's even there.

I believe so too. To choose an efficient algorithm, you have to know things about the input data. Even with the sorting example, this is so; e.g. if you place a certain set of constraints on the input, its possible to sort in linear time. But the compiler has no way of knowing such things, unless, of course, the language has some means of expressing constraints on the input in a manner that is digestible by the compiler...

Thank you, this is exactly what I came here to say.

The entire practice of programming is formally defining how everything works, and the devil is always in the details. The effort of going through those details thoroughly and defining exactly what you want to the program to do in all situations is, simply, the act of programming itself.

The best you can do is create languages, libraries, frameworks to help you do it more efficiently.
I'm saying it's fine for Twitter and FB to withhold that data. But they can't then complain about not being ranked fairly. Conversely, Google started off complaining about not getting access to FB and Twitter data. Then they shut up and made a competing product. FB and Twitter are free to do the same, but I think what Google has just showed is that it's a lot easier for Google to make a compelling social network than it is for FB or Twitter to make a compelling search engine. They're complaining because they're scared, and, quite frankly, they should be.

I honestly don't really see the downside to them opening their data to Google, though. They were in a better position before Google started G+. Google didn't want to make a social network. They just wanted the data. They had the open social initiative and were trying to make social networks interoperable, but FB and Twitter resisted. They sort of forced Google into the position of competing directly with them. Now they're complaining about it.

What really confuses me is what was the downside to them opening up to Google? (Esp. Twitter, who actually had a deal where they were getting paid for access to the firehose.) Google wasn't competing with them directly. In fact, Google was in a position to direct a lot of traffic to them.

The only thing I can imagine is that both FB and Twitter thought they were going to be able to obviate search and tried aggressively for that. I don't know why they thought Google would sit still for that, though.

A technical solution to this might be a form of encryption the requires a writable disk to actually decrypt anything. I don't know if that is possible, but it would effectively prevent these safeguards to work. And remember, you don't need to wipe the entire drive. Changing a few random bits in the decryption key would already forever turn the drive contents into unreadable garbage.

My point is that, last I heard, Apple is sitting on $70 billion. Meanwhile, Steve Jobs was telling Obama that the US could never produce the iPhone. Why? Because he seemed to think that near-slave conditions (e.g. rousting 8,000 workers from corporate housing for immediate 12-hour shifts) were necessary simply to create the products he sold.

Also, keep in mind that nobody working at Foxconn can afford to purchase the iPads they build. It appears that this will remain the case, no matter how long they work there.

I see definitions in the extracts at #4, #6, #7, #8 and #10. It's hard to believe half of the top ten changed in the last 3 hours.

EDIT: I do agree that bing's results are slightly-somewhat below google's as I do redo a search in google maybe 5% or 10% of the time, but from the point of view of someone who uses them every day they are pretty close for most things.

A true developer is a competent, intelligent, caring enthusiast. The author presents himself as true developer of the first (computer industry) generation. His language of choice is Common Lisp, which has an unhealthy community full of negativity and egos. Since the author is enthusiastic about CL, he insists that each community member should be a true developer and help CL succeed.
I don't know so much about Google employees, but what defines usually the capability of good entrepreneurs is that they are pied off with something in their environment, and have the will, leadership and capability to change things for the better.

Google may have very good technical people, i.e. they are capable, but I am not sure how they would fare as "leaders", "influencers", etc... it's also a company culture thing. If your company does not promote that kind of behavior, it is very unlikely you will see people stepping out to try things on their own. And if Google is successful at making their employees happy in some way or another, that also puts the barrier of leaving Google to a much higher point.
I think duckduckgo works like google should.
