Google: don't expect privacy when sending to Gmail | Technology | The Guardian

Well isn't this surprising, you mean you get a free service and they can't farm your mail to help make their engines smarter, and of course they would never sell this data to the feds, or any government, or political pasty  for that matter would they, nah!
We are all working for Google for free. Facebook as well, wake up folks.

Slated .com and indie financing

As indie film financing shifts to new studio models, amazon, app, apple, YouTube , netflicks, etc, now we have crowdfunding and a new curated model , slated .com.

Not the 1st and certainly not to be the last .

Will this new model provide more financing opportunities for quality films, while the studios sit on their hands and indie film makers chase money where ever they can.

Why invest in film when software and web plays offer a better upside.

Good question .

Of course where will quality indie films come from if they can't be financed ?

Will there be more Fruitvale stations or Beasts of the southern wild, yes, but one a year?

Risky business as we all know, now more so, interesting as need fir product grows capital to finance it deminishes, nuts huh?
