    • Story: New Tracking Frontier: Your License Plates (286 days ago)

      Comment: No one has ANY expectation of privacy on a public street or highway! If you are out in public, you and your car can be photographed at any time by anyone, private, government, or otherwise. That is a fact of life and has always been so (since cameras were invented). Now the technology allows people to take millions of photos and store them in databases. Creepy to be sure but no constitutional violation if done while you are in public.

    • Opinion: Opinion: I Got Eyelid Surgery, but Not to Look White (297 days ago)

      Comment: Seems like the author missed the point and is willfully (or more likely unconsciously) being blind. The real question is why do so many Asian women believe that changing their god given features (to insert the unnatural crease in their eyelids) will make them more attractive. I'm sure many of them are also having breast implantation surgery (common today in many countries where women (and men) believe large breasts are more attractive than small breasts - that is another story and history lesson in itself) but why do they believe having that crease in their eyelids that generations of their forebears don't have makes them more attractive? It is hard to imagine that this procedure sprang up in Korea completely unrelated to the vast American presence there beginning in the late 1940s and the pervasive western culture that exists there today. If Korea had been sealed in a bubble and culturally isolated since the before WWII it is almost impossible to believe that this surgery would have occurred to anyone living there to be an ideal way to improve their appearance.

    • Story: BlackBerry to Slash Workforce by Up to 40% (298 days ago)

      Comment: Seems to me it's not Google's fault or Apple's fault that customers aren't buying Blackberry's phones. That can only be Blackberry's fault. Those other companies are merely doing what they should be doing, trying to sell as many phones as possible. Blackberry owned this market before either Google or Apple had any clue about phones. The fact that they are going out of business isn't bad for consumers, it's bad for Blackberry. It would have been bad for consumers if Google and Apple had never entered the phone market.

    • Opinion: Opinion: Stephens: The Age of American Impotence (383 days ago)

      Comment: Who are these bozos writing for the Journal? America has been impotent for a long time friends. The author just may not have realized it. Too busy gazing at his navel perhaps. America declared a war on drugs over 30 years ago to end the scourge of illegal drugs in the US. How's that working out? America (George Bush) declared that it would never allow North Korea to get a nuclear weapon. Guess what happened with that? Bush claimed to "look into Putin's soul" and declared him a reasonable man who was interested in democracy. What has Putin done - only level Chechnya (killing 3 times as many people who have been killed in Syria), and kill, imprison, or exile every political opponent who raised his head. I'm sure the author wants to believe the fantasy that American impotence just arrived in the past few years but he ignores (even the not so distant) history.
