The death of a relationship is recorded, on of all places, bugzilla. The bug tracking site for the mozilla foundation, the non profit that make firefox and other really cool open source apps. This just underscores how much “incriminating” information is on our PCs. In this case the evidence of a finance’s infidelity was just in the password manager. What if Google Desktop was installed. That app is almost scary. I chatting on AIM(link) with one guy about something, and googled the topic we where discussing, and it came back with the chat log for the conversation I was STILL HAVING.

There are 2 morals:

1. Gervase Markham @ Hacking For Christ has the first:
   Secretes will be revealed eventually. Lies will be found out eventually. Deceptions will be undone eventually. We will all get what we deserve eventually.
   
2. Be paranoid and proactive about computer security:
   Dude could still enjoying both getting his cake and eating it, if simply took the time to understand how his browser works and how to safe guard his personal information. (This does not mitigate moral # 1. Boy friend would have eventually y slipped up and been found out by girl friend eventually)

PS3: Holy Grail for Alternative Operating Systems? - OSNews.com
Sony’s PS3, scheduled to be released near the end of this year, has been slated to have a hard drive that will support and will even include preinstalled Linux.

Official Google Blog: Judge tells DoJ “No” on search queries
Google will not have to hand over any user’s search queries to the government. That’s what a federal judge ruled today when he decided to drastically limit a subpoena issued to Google by the Department of Justice. (You can read the entire ruling here and the government’s original subpoena here.)

The government’s original request demanded billions of URLs and two month’s worth of users’ search queries. Google resisted the subpoena, prompting the judge’s order today. In addition to excluding search queries from the subpoena, Judge James Ware also required the government to limit its demand for URLs to 50,000. We will fully comply with the judge’s order.

WHOO HOO !!
