"StartPage protects you from NSA surveillance and spying": And how do you save me from NSA owning CA's and decrypting the SSL Traffic from you? Please explain. (I wish https was any good against NSA - is it?)

Just curious: Does anyone know his GPA @ Wisconsin–Madison?

pdfcollect | 12 years ago | on: Why we love Mozilla Persona

We used Persona for http://bit.ly/blibonline - and one of the problems we faced was that we would have liked the registration process to let our users tell us the name / icon (avatar), which was missing in Persona then. Any news on the timeline for these additions to Persona? (OpenID gives those two elements from registration/usage)

What about surveillance by Google itself? What we should be asking ourself is how do we improve https://duckduckgo.com ? or something similar.

pdfcollect | 12 years ago | on: Why open-office layouts are bad for employees, bosses, and productivity

In open offices, these are the things that are problematic (when it happens from the person who is sitting next to me):

- cell phones - chats - social networking - random web surfing

(when my neighbor does it)

Maybe I'm not just concentrating enough at work. But perhaps there is a way to solve these problems?
