The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Spying on Americans, by Americans


For John, BLUFThey are out there listening.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Quoting from The Instapundit:
THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR MITT ROMNEY THIS WOULD HAPPEN:  Thousands targeted by spying orders.
Since I am not as parsimonious as Professor Glenn Reynolds, from The Hill we have this:
Additionally, in 2013 the FBI issued more than 19,000 national security letters, which the agency uses to get information about people’s communications without a warrant.  Those letters contained nearly 39,000 requests for information, which the ODNI noted is likely larger than the actual number of people targeted by the letters because many may be aimed at multiple email addresses or other accounts controlled by the same person.
I wonder if the US Supreme Court's ruling on Cell Phones will override the National Security Letter issue?

You don't seriously think this bunch would let a SCOTUS ruling stand in its way, do you? Besides, the Justices are probably on the list.
