  1. I don't think you understand what free software is. Proprietary software like Chrome keeps users divided and helpless. Divided because each user is forbidden to share with other people, and helpless because the users don't have the source code, so they can't change anything, they can't even tell what the program is really doing. There are 4 essential freedoms that the user of software should have at all times. Freedom zero is the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose. Freedom one is the freedom to study the source code of the program and change it to do what you wish. Freedom two is the freedom to help your neighbour. That's the freedom to make copies and distribute them to others, when you wish. Freedom three is the freedom to help your community. That's the freedom to distribute or publish modified versions, when you wish. From what they said. They get the URL and see if the URL is on their whitelist. That enough tells them what you're downloading. You mean this? http://lifehacker.co...ow-to-remove-it And this? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703983704576277101723453610.html How long? Why wait? http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/
  2. Yes, they will. It clearly stated that if the file isn't on the whitelist it will be sent to Google servers. The bad thing is that all files you download that aren't from a trust worthy source will be sent, probably even trustworthy ones due to having to connect to their servers to cross reference the file's download location and publisher with Google's whitelist.
  3. Most websites have it. Downloading a closed source application, by Google? That's a no-no. I don't know why you hate freedom.
  4. Positive. It's not on the article, because it's one sided. Why do you think that the team didn't freak out about the guys in banana suits? Because it's nothing new.
  5. A case of he said she said. They've been doing the whole banana thing for years. She says the fans were calling them monkeys and cotton pickers, thing is, you can't be sure. Other students and parents have said that it didn't happen. Main point is that they're saying that the banana suits are racist even though they've been doing it to every team for years and years. More extreme case of the same thing. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm30cepvMQA
  6. http://sports.yahoo....-131740578.html For years this school team has had 3 guys dress up as bananas and run across the bleachers, years and years... against white teams. But now... when it's a black team, it's 100% plain racism. Just for clarification, no racial slurs were said. I swear people can find racism in anything.
  7. Google analytics? Ever heard of it? No they don't have "people checking up on you 24/7", but it's there. I don't think having every file you download being saved is paranoia. Also this http://www.google.co...creenwisepanel/ I know it's not necessary is the slightest, but still. It just shows their obvious intentions.
  8. It already did. And the general public don't know it exists.
  9. Use Chrominum then, it's what Chrome is based off and is free unlike Chrome. http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/Win_Webkit_Latest/6232/mini_installer.exe
  10. Indeed. Transmitted to Google's servers to be kept for 2 weeks, then to FBI's forever. Enjoy.

  12. "Google has also added some new security functionality to Chrome. Every time that the user downloads a file, the browser will compare it against a whiltelist of known-good files and publishers. If the file isn't in the whitelist, its URL will be transmitted to Google's servers, which will perform an automatic analysis and attempt to guess if the file is malicious based on various factors like the trustworthiness of its source. If the file is deemed a potential risk, the user will receive a warning. Google says that data collected by the browser for the malware detection feature is only used to flag malicious files and isn't used for any other purpose. The company will retain the IP address of the user and other metadata for a period of two weeks, at which point all of the data except the URL of the file will be purged from Google's databases." Oh look! Another reason not to use Chrome!

    movies/tv Space Nazis

    Looks good but I highly doubt it will be historically accurate. And is that Hilliary Clinton? If so, Nazis win.
  14. Got that shit. Good stuff man. Fuck the haters. A billion dollar corporation doesn't care about such trivial things.
  15. I don't think Facebook is what they're talking about, or any social media sites. Probably more like forums and other discussion sites.
  16. Taking it so over the top it's boring.
  17. Nothing, but it doesn't matter for me and many many others. Why? Outside of America. Can't buy the episodes, or watch them on TV. May not want to buy via iTunes either, I don't, iTunes is horrible and I'd prefer not to donate to Apple. They do.
  18. Don't think you can. All studios, musicians, ect should though. I don't like giving my money to publishers.
  19. Dunno, but there has to be some, somewhere.
  20. I'd prefer a time machine. That way nobody dies.
