I am interested in reading the 90 minute interview transcript, the finished article and the prepared statement from the White House to compare the three and then make a judgement on the WH's action.
"Default to full screen". I hate it too. Enough of the boxes and frames. Maybe I am old school but I like pages to flow. Google is getting terrible with their UI's. From a disability access point of view, it is hard to navigate around the new Google "plussed" world. Crappy UI's and user experience combined with their recent views on GMAIL users should not expect privacy, Google is on the outs with me. Everyone is taking off with HTML5 but very few sites, not including Google, is getting it right.
I posted this just moments before sharing this link over at G+ at 3:03 am. News coming and going I am writing this because every device in the house just went off with breaking news alerts. It's 3am. Looks like another item for the obsessed will soon be over. First, the Zimmerman Trial is over, next the infant Prince will be born. Soon that Glee stars passing will be a one time news story. In the near future Snowden may or may not be freed from that Airport in Russia. What will the media pick to be the next national/international discussion? What options can we take to shut our devices down at a certain time to prevent mass alarms for so called breaking news.
Exactly, at 3am this morning every device in the house went off giving the announcement. My only fault with posting this was I got distracted before I started the conversation by with editing this post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106420735876542072423/posts/DZ9G...

To clarify: They talk fine with each other until sending device is done. Receiving device cannot initiate the closing statements to the sending device.
Riddle. How do you get a GOP politician indicted and facing 102 years in Prison in Ohio in one of Ohio's most conservative Counties? Answer: Run an investment scam with GOP investors money.
Rep Beck is a high-ranking member of the Ohio House and has served as 54th District representative since 2009.

Two counts of unlicensed sale of securities.
Two counts of fraud in the sale of securities.
Two counts of sale of unregistered securities.
Two counts of selling securities in an insolvent company without full disclosure.
Two counts of making a false statement about the financial condition of an issuer.
Four counts of theft by deception.
I think it is time to rethink everything, Not just Microsoft. Cloud computing is at risk now too. From Amazon to Google Drive, Gmail, etc. Shared hosting is not even secure any longer. Our connections from our isp can be the source of their spying.
People want the ease of computing not secure computing. The polls show it. In the US everyone but the geeks are OK with the NSA. Sad.
The system is going to have to change to federated data. Email, Social media, everything. Appliances owned by the individual. Either located in the home or small server appliances "rented" at a colocation facility and every user's info on their appliance. Any warrants are served to the individual not the "processing" or interpreting host that parses the data in their UI or service. The host, whether Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc would notify the requester that that info is on a server rented solely by the user and they have no standing to grant or honor the warrant as they are the wrong party.

I agree, something like this needs to be done. It will take a lot of work. I think the free software/ open-source movement is robust enough that we can turn our attention to this. Copyleft and free software licenses are social hacks that work in tandem with the free software model. We perhaps need a social hack to underpin this federated data model.
Lots of comments here. Not sure if it is already covered or not. So I will be brief.
DDG, hushmail, etc. Doesn't really matter does it if the NSA gets you at your internet connection and reads what you are doing from your service providers trunk?
You can DuckDuck and Go and hush your email. If they are grabbing it at the point of your modem and your internet provider, the illusion is you are secure but really you are not.
