They all look like duplicate posts. There was an Aria Richards firing post earlier than these.

The professors were asked about courses they designed to not be accredited. Of course they would respond that way. It says nothing about the future of online education.

Open source projects have always had funding for developers. A new source of funding doesn't mean death to open source. Open source is "Free as in freedom", not "free as in free coffee".

What a paranoid post. Google "manipulates" results for financial gain? The assumption that there is a pure solution to a search query is ignorant of search and information retrieval, which fundamentally rely on human-curated content.
PageRank also relied on "Human-curated content". In fact, anything having to do with natural language processing does so in some way.
This is a far cry from saying that Google is hand-tuning search results. In fact, Google has only begun to do so recently as a response to government-orders to hide terms relating to media piracy or Chinese politics. This post displays a lot of romantic confusion about the effects of social media on web search.
