Attacking his integrity seems kind of uncalled for.

I don't think enough users care enough about privacy for there to be a massive market there. If not why didn't more people switch to DuckDuckGo or Diaspora?

Hey, your site is great, just a suggestion, you might consider submitting your site to PocketCasts (email [email protected]), it's the most popular podcasting app on Android, and you don't seem to be in their directory. I've added your feed to their app, but it would help people discover your show.

Re:It's time: bring Dart to Android on Wednesday June 04, 2014 @08:37AM (#7845181)

More competition in this space can only be a good thing. Besides, Google has done a whole lot more to protect their users from government surveillance than the telcos have.
No, it doesn't do this, at least not for me.

This is why I love my Kindle Paperwhite so much. I could read on my Ipad, but it's so easy to jump into something else with that. The Kindle's limitations let me get on with reading without being tempted by other things.

Re:Books in the Age of the iPad on Thursday March 04, 2010 @04:39PM (#1168114)
I've basically stopped reading books, and have gone 100% audio books. I listen in my car, in bed, while going jogging. I love it, although I imagine it's not for everyone.
