Google’s CEO says the company is trying not to cross the creepy line. I wonder if Schmidt would be so kind as to share the location of that line with the general public. You know, so we know where it is too.

Google is quite used to facing charges that it has become a little too Big Brotherish in its conquest of the Internet search market. In response, it emphasizes that Google users have control over the data the company collects on them, most recently introducing Google Dashboard as a way of letting users see all the personal data the company has assembled in a single Web page.

Here is a story about how surprisingly little effort was needed to catch several software pirates…because they are all idiots. Step 1: Check Craigslist. Step 2: Agree to buy stolen merchandise. Step 3: Call the cops.

Activision Blizzard, the game’s publisher, called in IPCybercrime.com, a Dallas private investigation firm that specializes in online investigations. The investigators tracked down the seller and stumbled into a scheme to pirate the game and sell a bunch of fake copies over the Internet. While the bust led to the arrest of just one hacker among many, it sheds light on the shadowy underground of the business of illegal piracy. It also offers a peak at how investigators try to head off a major piracy disaster before it happens.

Would you live in something like this "mobile home of the future?" While this thing is pretty cool, I can still hear Jeff Foxworthy in my head telling redneck jokes…"[i]If you spent $100k on a high-tech trailer…"

Would you live in a mobile home? No? What if it were solar and wind powered, and tricked out with the latest modern conveniences and looked sharp? Treehugger's Lyod Alter is selling his one-of-a-kind miniHome Solo prototype for $100,000.
