I feel like the success of this crackdown just goes to prove further that the government is perfectly capable of going after the piracy issue WITHOUT having to push through insane legislation like SOPA. I don't see how they expect this to help their argument that the current tools at their disposal just aren't good

Except this article isn't just about tracking down spammers — it's about tracking down why spam is being sent from YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. I would say that's a bigger deal then just getting annoying junk mail.

Makes me feel good about being a VZW customer. They're conspicuously nowhere on that list, as they'd claimed.

I may have accidentally replied to the wrong one of your posts, which may be why you're confused as to what I did and did not assert.

Reread my posts — I'm not the person who said "And the statement that Atheists believe in something is ludicrous.". Atheists absolutely believe in something. The dictionary definition of Atheism is belief that there is no god. That isn't incompatible with agnosticism. You're avoiding my actual point: Do you deny that

That's not true. The definition of an Athiest is simply someone who believes that there is no god. That doesn't mean that all atheists are the hardline people who think that because they believe there is no god that they can disprove theism.

An agnostic atheist would be someone who believes there is no god but is willing to admit that it cannot be proved. A lot of reasonable people fall into that category.

I feel like the question boils down to "Do I want to be seen as a 14-year old girl?". But maybe that's just me.

... Which would put you on the side of good. Aren't Evil Week posts usually something that would arguably be evil for you to do?

How is Angry Birds a "premium app"? It's free on Android. If you have to pay for a pro version, this smacks of someone trying to indirectly charge money for other people's apps.

I'd be totally excited about this but... oh wait... Google+ STILL ISN'T AVAILABLE for anyone with Google Apps accounts. There are some things about Google's workings that I'll just never understand.

No, it's Nazi to kill millions of people. Cell phone contracts are annoying, but really not on par with the holocaust.

A well made point — I manage to never really run into any infographics "invading" the rest of my web browsing — just those crappy filler posts here. What I'm taking away from this article is that Giz's writers need to find more interesting internet sources to repost things from.

This is a funny tirade considering that almost all the images you guys at Giz throw up at the top of articles look like a bad mashup of discount stock photography and text created from Microsoft Word '97 clip art templates. It's REALLY BAD. Like Microsoft Paint bad.

The thing to note is that amazon has switched to advertising the "with special offers" version as the price they print in big numbers. The non-ad supported touch is $139, so it's not as major a price drop as it looks like.

Then you're way out of touch. Pitchfork is huge.

I'm torn between thinking this is really cool and being concerned about the fact that it's possible to code an android app to start sending data to a remote connection without user input immediately on installation. Who knows what less scrupulous programmers could use that capability to do?

... But that's what these comments sections are for: Discussing things. You don't just go "leave me alone" when someone disagrees with your comment... if you don't want it discussed than don't post it.

I feel like this fills a niche for a good, compact monitor for things like kitchen PC projects. If only it were a touch screen.

The title should read "wheels", not "tires". A lock specifically for your tires would make no sense.
