Comment Re:Tracking Devices and the Fourth Amendment (Score 1) 609

An individual can reasonably expect to move about the world without having their movements tracked. Or, better, a person should retain the choice to keep their movements to themselves.

My cell phone can be used as a tracking device, but I can turn it off. My EZPass can report what toll booths I pass through, but I can remove it and pay cash, if I choose. I can wait for my neighbor to leave his house if I don't want him to see me leaving. And I can wait for my wife to take off with the kids before I visit my mistress.

Where I go and when I go there is my own personal business, and if the authorities want carte blanche access to it, they can get a warrant.

Opera Software Co-Founder Passes Away 145

worb writes "One of the two founders of Opera Software, Geir Ivarsoy, recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. His funeral yesterday was attended by Opera employees who paid their last respects to their former lead programmer. While Opera hasn't had the same success as Firefox on the desktop, it has had considerable success in the mobile phone market due to its speed and small footprint, combined with excellent standards compliance and innovative features."
