Don’t Be A Dick With Our Products

This is definitely the quote of the day. I can think of lots of other products that can use a little common sense labeling like this.
Medicaid hacked: over 181,000 records and 25,000 SSNs stolen
| April 12, 2012
On Wednesday, the DTS said information was accessed from approximately 24,000 claims. It turned out the hackers had made off with 24,000 files, and one single file can potentially contain claims information on hundreds of individuals. On Friday, the DTS thus confirmed the number of Medicaid clients affected was actually 181,604.
Claims stored on servers like the one that experienced the breach can include client names, addresses, birth dates, SSNs, physician’s names, national provider identifiers, addresses, tax identification numbers, and procedure codes designed for billing purposes.

What Part of “I’m Going to Destroy Android” Didn’t You Understand?
| April 11, 2012
According to Isaacson, Jobs’s outrage over Android was very real and certainly not “for show” as Page claimed in a Bloomberg interview earlier this week.
During a lecture Wednesday evening at the U.K.’s Royal Institution, Isaacson took issue with Page’s remarks, stressing that Jobs was hardly kidding around when he threatened to destroy Android, which he lambasted as a stolen product.
‘Google, you fucking ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off.’ Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google’s products — Android, Google Docs — are shit.”
Google Begins Testing Its Augmented-Reality Glasses
| April 11, 2012
We believe technology should work for you — to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
On Wednesday, Google gave people a clearer picture of its secret initiative called Project Glass. The glasses are the company’s first venture into wearable computing.
The glasses are not yet for sale. Google will, however, be testing them in public.
In a post shared on Google Plus, employees in the company laboratory known as Google X, including Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian Thrun, asked people for input about the prototype of Project Glass. Mr. Lee, a Google product manager and originally worked on Google mapping software Latitude, mobile maps and indoor maps, is responsible for the software component and the location-based aspects of the glasses.
