Comment on Degrading Transparency: Comparing Google, Yahoo and Microsoft by LoudBudgie

I enjoyed your article.

Within broad notions of Capitalism, “companies” are known to exhibit all of the behaviors of a psychopath. Simply put, they pursue their narrow intent with ultimate indifference to the consequences for others with the exception of the Board & Shareholders who are in fact part of the monster.

Though the “ethics” of individual companies will differ (or be absent) certain conditions will reveal that they ultimately DON’T really care about “you” or “me” – what they care about is their own success. Government USED TO serve to protect the national (society’s) interests and yet now – even our (USA) Supreme Court has given companies the ability to BUY which ever candidate they want – enormously. What hope have we got?

Comment on Why Block by IP address? by Steve

Steve — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 14:34:56 +0000

This is now happening in Canada as well. The largest Internet Service Provider Bell Sympatico has been blocking server IP addresses that contain multiple domains/websites. They have even blocked servers at reputable locations like Yahoo Web Hosting.

It’s like banning everyone wearing a red shirt from entering your store because someone who robbed you was wearing a red shirt.
