This is a different take on Responsive Web design. This article discusses how we can better embrace what the Web is about by ignoring the big elephant in the room; that is, how we can rely on media queries and breakpoints without any concern for devices.

After the Associated Press published an article on March 20th about employers asking job candidates for Facebook and social media passwords, the response was, to say the least, overwhelming. In the month since, there have been thousands of tweets and social media status updates, more than 2,000 blog posts, and hundreds of news articles on the "trend."

NSA Gathers 4x the Amount of Info than the Library of Congress, Daily
The National Security Agency is the geekiest of the spy shops. The NSA is responsible for gathering and parsing information from around the world, usually electronic data. At ReadWriteWeb, we're no strangers to big data , in fact we're fans. But sometimes you come face to face with facts and figures that bring home how big "big" is. According to an article from the Baltimore Sun , in six hours, the NSA intercepts and stores as much information as you find in the whole of the Library of Congress.
May 07, 2011 | By Scott Calvert, The Baltimore Sun One day last year, a trusted courier for Osama bin Laden answered a phone call that might have been wholly unremarkable except for one thing — the National Security Agency was apparently listening in. That intercepted call helped American intelligence officials track the courier all the way to the walled compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was hiding. The discovery eventually led to last week's midnight assault by Navy SEALs who killed the al-Qaida leader, ending a pursuit that began in the mid-1990s. A spokeswoman for the NSA said the agency would not offer more detail, and intelligence officials won't even confirm the account, which was reported by several news outlets quoting anonymous sources. And yet for the super-secret NSA, one of Maryland's largest employers with a work force of some 30,000 and a budget in the billions, this singular act of eavesdropping now stands as one of its most notable and conspicuous achievements.

Revised ‘Net Censorship Bill Requires Search Engines To Block Sites, Too | Epicenter | Wired.com
Surprise! After months in the oven, the soon-to-be-released new version of a major U.S. Internet censorship bill didn’t shrink in scope — it got much broader. Under the new proposal, search engines, internet providers, credit card companies, and ad networks would all have cut off access to foreign “rogue sites”– and such court orders would not be limited to the government.
Attention George Foreman: report to an Apple Store near you immediately. There’s a hot (literally) product, you simply must buy the entire inventory of to keep your grilling empire alive: the new iPad. Or at least, that’s what the latest nonsense from Consumer Reports would have you believe. We’ve seen this ridiculousness from Consumer Reports before. In June 2010 , at the height of “Antennagate”, Consumer Reports figured out the art of click-bait.
