Government, Internet Companies Reach Deal On Disclosure
Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo and others have won the right to keep the public informed about how many times the feds have requested user data. Well that's mighty generous of the government.

They also will be able to release, rounded to the nearest thousand, the number of secret national security-related orders from government investigators; the number of national security-related orders from the FISA court and the number of customers those orders affected, and whether those orders were for just email addresses or covered additional information.

There is no denying that Linux, when well-hidden, has great value. I very quite enjoy all my Android devices as well as my Chromebook. I've been a very happy (well, except when they break down every two years) TiVo user for more than a decade.

Sony's credit rating has been downgraded to junk status. It's been years since the company had a profitable quarter and poor TV and PC sales, gigantic box office bombs and selling millions of consoles at a loss really isn't helping Sony at all right now.
