New Cell Tower Bill to Affect Local Control - East Cobber
The industry dictates in North America where the risks are discounted and hidden from oversight. Would that the head ruled rather than lower parts.
John Brennan confirmed as CIA director following White House drone statement - The Washington Post
Give us a break! Drones will be actively used to kill unarmed Americans on American soil whether the authority is there or not! It's a done deal .... mistakes will happen, kids will die, terrorists will use drones because they are an available technology ...
Rand Paul rising: Has filibuster made him US political star? (+video) - CSMonitor.com
Rand Paul forgets that most Americans are armed to the teeth! The big issue is whether citizens control drones because they will be used to kill Americans on American soil! Let's after all be realistic about the chances given American history!
North Korea threatens to nuke D.C.: why it's especially angry this time - CSMonitor.com
We scratch by without full war if China regains influence on North Korea otherwise real problems and danger of civil strife within China itself! North Korea is not a war any more that China would be united on....
Facebook to announce huge changes to newsfeed
It will be interesting to watch Facebook evolve.
Up until now Facebook has enabled bridges between people who wanted information about specific people, but Facebook wants to provide general information that one would normally obtain elsewhere. That's precisely where people may want to go to get their information about people they know ... elsewhere.
Facebook is fine when it's a quiet village, but as a town or city, it may not be a pleasant experience. I for one prefer the nuances of an information village rather than the city, but I know young people prefer the opportunities of the information city... the hustle and bustle of activity. Shame how innovation accidentally destroys the beauty of past or less developed arrangements?

Rand Paul instinctively filibusters possible nomination of John Brennan for CIA director
It's about the use of remote flying machines and devices that can kill selectively on behalf of the US government.
Paul's stand is definitely more symbolic than real. There is no way America's CIA will not explore the uses of drones whether authorised or not. Best to have a man do it out in the open than surreptitiously. The hummingbirds and bugs are already developed and flying.
You might not notice them, but they are already at work. They are smart. They are directly linked to human thought and they are motivated to destroy what they consider to be evil. They are / will be directed by a nominated delegate of an elected commander in chief. Welcome to a chaotic new world driven by technologies you can't even imagine.
A new age of technology to kill people is pretty frightening. It means weapons of warfare increasingly have that smart military capability of targeting enemy leaders instead of the mass of average ground soldiers.
Psychological implications are as yet unknown.
The logic of war is almost always a sub optimal path, insane, stupid, and unnecessary. People make it a reality by adopting overly aggressive postures when competitive negotiation and democratic process could achieve more satisfactory outcomes. It is the irrepressible march of technology and innovation that causes war when the redistribution of advantages and disadvantages pits people against each other.
We all need to step back and realise that changes in our own attitudes can be destructive.
We need to seek technologies that are safe and that bind people to common causes for peaceful coexistence, support tolerance of our many differences and recognise people's right to share without bias in the wealth that life and peaceful activities can generate!
In my humble opinion...
