    Works for me. Radio is free. TV is free.
    I want my Yahoo, Hulu, and Facebook free too.
    Deal.

    I didn't bother reading the article. I'm simply posting an emotional response based solely on the probably inaccurate summary. I don't really care about privacy policies because I'm use to getting tracked all the time. Security cameras watch me drive to work, my badge records when I enter the door, cameras watch me inside the building, my credit card leaves a trail everywhere I buy something... and I don't really care. So go ahead and track what you want and sell the data to whoever. The hundreds of spam messages I get a day proves that there is no hope of ever retrieving any of my privacy. If you start asking for money to visit this site I'll probably pay for it because I tend to develop habits that make me comfortable. I don't like those habits being interrupted.

    I'm now going to hit submit without doing a preview because I could really care less about the quality of this post.

    It's brilliant. My only complaint is the cringe-inducing comment in TFA where he says that he's "open sourcing" this privacy policy. Really? So, where do I download the source code?

    Right Click -> View Source

Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.

Working...
