Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
Today they hail the birth of the Web 30 years ago.
March 12, 1989 — the birthdate of the World Wide Web. You see that proclaimed all over the Internet.
I, thinking, beg to differ. 😯 Read it all
Short answer: “Persuade 500 people to pay you $2 a month for an essential service.”
Longer answer: “Be a good seller who can help people see the advantages of using an @godspost.com email address for a mere $25 a year. But before that, you would need to buy the service, site, and domain from me. And you would also need to pay out $84 a month for the service to power the service. ”
So…why am I not earning at least $561.09 a month via this great service? I am not a good seller nor a good persuader. So I haven’t been able to get even 10 people paying $25 a year for this service.
And I probably won’t persuade you to buy the service, site, and domain from me. (But I’ve been wrong before.)
Of course, you could forget the whole pursuit of filthy lucre and “unseemly capitalist profit” and offer the service for free. (But I really can’t offer it to you on that basis.)
If you use wifi in any way, here are six things to note:

I saw this breaking on Drudge earlier, but he’s still linking back to his home page:
Makers of surveillance systems are offering governments across the world the ability to track the movements of almost anybody who carries a cellphone, whether they are blocks away or on another continent.
The technology works by exploiting an essential fact of all cellular networks: They must keep detailed, up-to-the-minute records on the locations of their customers to deliver calls and other services to them. Surveillance systems are secretly collecting these records to map people’s travels over days, weeks or longer, according to company marketing documents and experts in surveillance technology.

And just so you know, your cell provider has been able to do this from day one. Read it all
If you’re not a Gmail user, move along.
Wait, wait — I need to amend that. If you’re not a Gmail user and if you don’t send email to Gmail addresses, you can just move along.
That’s not true either. Here’s the best amendment so far: If you don’t use the Web, you can ignore this post.
I begin with this “reassuring” statement:
Do people still believe such assurances? 🙄 And even if it were true today, tomorrow’s line may be, “That was then; this is now.” Read it all
