This could really be something else. I signed up and am #777 in line. I'm assuming this will be more worth the wait than Mailbox - and probably delivered about the same time.
While it can't do all of that, you Blekko let's you use slash tags like /programming or /ruby to limit your results to specific, relevant sites. Definitely my go-to for tech queries.
I think most rich folks would pay more if they knew everyone who was rich was also doing so.
there is a parity issue at play... and if you're going to donate there are more efficient ways to do so than giving it to the government (i.e. create three jobs by starting a cafe, invest in startups, etc).
what bothers me is that giving any money to the gov-t is the least efficient way, because the gov-t is not efficient with money. That brings the question, do we really need to raise taxes or open more opportunities for charitable foundations to do what gov-t cannot.
I would venture to say that photo sharing apps are the PREVIOUS geolocation apps.
While they may be new as phone apps (as opposed to web apps), people have been sharing photos in a million different locations and ways for years (Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Snapfish, OFoto, MobileMe, Picasa, Email...).

This is true (and SFO in San Francisco does not use the TSA). However, even the 5 private agencies airports may choose to use must follow the exact same procedures set by the TSA.
So, while the TSA may not write the paychecks for those airport screeners, they do set the rules.
The author of the article is the one who rightly explains that the only thing that has made us safer since 9/11 is locking cockpit doors and the knowledge that passengers should not comply with terrorists. In fact, that last one was learned so quickly it disrupted the 4th plane of that very attack.
There will always be a tiny fraction of people that want to harm others. Whether it is because they have an agenda or are simply crazy (or likely both), they will always exist.
We have the choice of whether we want to sell our liberties and freedom for the illusion of safety from insignificant, yet inevitable, risks.
