If you have actual enemies, it might make sense to block them on things like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc..

Because people expect services as robust and useful as Facebook to be free? Based on how much time people spend using their service, the user's data is hardly a large price to pay. Have certain types of things you like, profession, education, gender, demographic and expect your profile able to be targeted (anonymously) with advertising. Share something public (including anything above), expect any corporation to be able to see or mine it.

I love it. I've wished this feature implemented for quite some time.

Regardless, a 1.6 release is still a newsworthy item.

What data or study do you have to backup your baseless generalizations?

It may be a generalisation, but it's pretty accurate generally. — [citation needed]

The rich won't envision a future with less (or more) poverty. — [citation needed]

White men are less likely to imagine a future with full gender equality and black liberation than black women are — [citation needed]

People living in the West will think less about the rise of the rest of the world. — [citation needed]

Some applications do not store any sensitive information, in which case login keys are not so bad..

To each their own. I loath your pessimism and judgement more than the author and her husband. In fact, I find their efforts ambitious, albeit peculiar and boring at times.

I wouldn't go that far. At least he would probably not start a war..

He is way off about XML.. It is bloated and tedious to work with. For most scenarios, there are immensely better alternatives.

For the record, I was heavily involved with XML years ago and helped create a popular light weight xml-based cms.

Solitary confinement is a violation of international human rights and should be treated accordingly.
