You have feminist soapbox written all over you. There's no reason why you should be grouping commentators into the "white male" category except to reveal your own prejudices. The writer of the article didn't need to be victimized or traumatized at all, she let something get out of hand by her own foolishness. If all…

"Robin, it's time to put on the bat-latex-glove"

I know they weren't first, and Google's voice control was just fine for a long time but suddenly now we need to "focus" on it to match Apple's implementation.

Yeah, I don't want to belittle the story because it's a traumatic experience but if you're majoring in engineering and don't have the street smarts to deal with an AIM troll, I can't feel sorry for you. She dragged this on far too much because of her own curiosity and stupidity, and that's why it became an overly…

I hate how everything, regardless of severity, is some form of "terrorism" these days.

Why is Google so desperate to mirror everything other people do? What happened to the days when they were the forerunners of tech stuff? What about all that home automation stuff they were showcasing at Google I/O a year or two ago? All of it, sacrificed in an attempt to battle the iPhone.

The problem with this is even if the lamp lasts 40 years who actually thinks the style will?

I uphold that I understand it better than the people who designed it because it's designed so TERRIBLY.

I'm not assuming the worst, I'm just assuming Carrier IQ's primary client is the carrier, not the phone owners. So why should I believe that they have the best interests of the consumer in mind? I don't have a phone that uses the software, so it's not like it affects me. Personally I understand perfectly how it works,…

Guilty as proven you mean? As mentioned in the videos, Carrier IQ is not referenced in the EULA or any privacy documentation, so why is it ok that all that data goes through a third party piece of software that users aren't notified about? At what point does a phone and the data it contains become my own property, and…

Reminds me of old Geocities sites with embedded midis

I'm confused, do they have blood erections or don't they? The article title suggests they don't, but the article itself seems to say otherwise. Or is it saying they used to have lymph based erections, and have now got blood based ones?

It was a nonserious comment about how much drama goes on when it comes to companies related to current and growing technological issues. You guys need to stop being a bunch of uptight bitches.

I don't take Facebook too seriously, and I'm pretty happy. I dislike how I have friends who are so glued to it that they can't socialize with me normally, it's always "hit me up on Facebook" instead of hanging out in real life. But the solution to that is to just get new friends.

Details details, it's related enough. No need to nitpick.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the tech industry is the most entertaining soap opera I've ever seen.

I follow them both on Twitter so I saw when those tweets went out. I don't watch the joke of an awards show Spike puts on, but I can see their point. Even if winning or losing isn't an issue, if your categories aren't even going to be featured at all, what's the point of you going to them? It's a total waste of time…

It's amazing the sorts of things we curbstomp in the name of "public safety", they should make like a committee of public safety... to you know tell the people what they can and cannot do and decide who poses a threat. I hear France knows something about the subject.

As a Virginia resident who loves space, I think this is a horrible idea. Why don't they just bring back viking funerals? Send a sailboat out to sea and light the bitch up with flaming arrows.
