    Junk food cravings are triggered by the mere thought of being low class

    Thankfully for me restaurant food tastes too salty so I rarely eat it. Unfortunately a pie made with fresh organic fruit, real sugar, unbleached flour and butter is almost as unhealthy and just as fattening as a McPie. Maybe even more so. I wouldn't call it junk but you can get just as fat from...

    US fails in bid to renegotiate arms trade restrictions on exploit data export

    Laws like this are so ridiculous. They assume that other countries "couldn't possibly come up with something as brilliant as we can." Set it and forget it. Once in place, the regulations remain long past when the technology is old news. Every country that imposes restrictions puts their...

    South Carolina will debate bill to block porn on new computers

    That's the point of social safety nets everybody pays. Sometimes they use it and sometimes they don't. Everybody is eligible.

    The state(s) of texting and driving in the US

    There's a difference between talking to a passenger and talking on the phone. Your passenger is sharing the driving experience and sensitive to the cues of the driver. The person on the other end of the phone is completely oblivious. They don't shut up and let you concentrate on dealing with...

    Microdemocracy is a high-tech solution to America’s current system

    Any type of democracy would be nice in the US. Everything is mostly gerrymandered and now we have foreign governments making decisions on our behalf.

    Attorney wants Google to unmask reviewer who only wrote “It was horrible”

    Nothing is more disparaging to your reputation than bullying a reviewer. What a moron this lawyer is and now everybody knows. He'll probably sue me too now.

    In countries where abortion is banned women die. Even when there is an exception when the mother's life is at risk it will be someone else making that decision. It's hard to determine if something is life threatening with 100% certainly so it's safer from a legal standpoint for the peron(s)...

    Covert downloaders found preinstalled on dozens of low-cost Android phone models

    It's the reason I root, wipe and install the most recent version of the OS available for my phone. At least exists the possibility of removing crap with full access to the phone. Of course users should not have to root their phones but they have a right to do so if they choose without jumping...
