Your comments on Blogger are fair game already. They are not private in any way.

It isn't a critique. It's about her project Growstuff which she considers more important and valuable than Google's self-driving cars and Project Glass.

She is building a social network for hobbyist gardeners. Apparently this is what humanity needs more than geek toys like self-driving cars and augmented reality sunglasses.
Mozart was very popular.

Isn't it nice to dream about removing options people have?

Do you have better sources?

> I reckon we have about a decade of reasonably affordable petrol left before we hit the wall in a big way.

Citation needed. We have at least two decades of cheap oil ahead.

World would be a very sad place if everybody were afraid to do anything publicly.

There is no such thing as "Symbian feature phone". Every Symbian phone is a smartphone.
Re:Update your timezone defs: Russia abolishes winter time (DST) on Tuesday February 08, 2011 @05:54PM (#2195300)
No. USSR was always divided into several time zones. Moscow time is just a soviet analog of GMT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Russia#Developments

Of course Firefox and Opera support WebM. Revenues of Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software depend on Google.

Android supports H.264.

Do we really need to blur difference between art and fanfics even more then?
Do we really need more fanfics?

The whole notion of 'freedom' is an artificial and very recent creation. We functioned fine as a society for so many millennia with slavery.
Re:Court affirms jail time for Pirate Bay founders on Friday November 26, 2010 @11:12AM (#1942628)
All human rights are "figments of our collective imagination". Should we abolish them too?
