several other nations enjoying similar access to cloud data, according to a
study released Wednesday.

Darlene Storm: ACLU: DEA tracks Americans' movements, plans to data mine license plate records

Do you ever feel like you are being watched when you drive? The ACLU believes
that feeling of being watched is justified and not only while you're driving.
The DEA is tracking Americans' movements by scanning license plates which go in
a database. The ACLU believes there are plans to data mine those plate records
to better track and build files on us for alleged 'suspicious' activity. If
nothing is done about logging and data mining our every move, Americans will
lose the freedom to driving around anonymously.

Microsoft is abandoning the 'Aero' user interface with Windows 8, calling the UI
that debuted in Vista and continued in Windows 7, 'cheesy' and 'dated' -- but is
that the only reason? Why do you think Microsoft is ditching its "Aero" UI in
Windows 8?
