4chan Founder: Facebook and Google Do Identity Wrong 4chan founder Christopher Poole (aka "moot") says that Google and Facebook "do identity wrong," and that people should not be tied to just one identity on the web. In a passionate speech at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, Poole claimed that Internet users should have a choice as to whether they want to stay anonymous on the web or use their real identities.

"Look from a different angle, and you see something completely different… Facebook is consolidating identity by making us more simple than we truly are." Poole continued, explaining that to some people, he's a son, and to others he's a hacker or a friend.

Or the Freddy Fudpacker (aka The Cactus Banger) – once again NEVER HEARD anyone order either of these ever ONCE. I’m not naming any drinks on this list where the ingredients are the name i.e. vodka tonic, amaretto sour, or gin and juice.

Google: Microsoft uses patents when products "stop succeeding" A Google patent lawyer says that the patent system is broken, and he accuses Microsoft of abusing the system. Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, Google's Tim Porter pointed to Microsoft's attacks on Linux as an example of its broader corporate strategy.

Microsoft has argued that the patent royalties it seeks from Android vendors are part of the natural evolution of a new industry. Porter disagrees.
