Excerpt:

The U.S. Senate plans to revist decades-old laws governing the privacy of your emails; as it currently stands, government authorities can download and examine all your e-mail, store it, search it, and never inform youwith virtually no oversight or fear of violating any laws. AP Your e-mail is nearly as public as the words you are now reading. As it currently stands, government authorities can download and examine all your e-mail, store it, search it, and never inform you—with virtually no oversight or fear of violating any laws. Medical information, personal love missives, exchanges with your child’s teachers and doctors are all open to such searches. However, this situation may be about to finally change, depending on how discussions about the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) go later this week.

Excerpt:

Mozilla's revenue, driven chiefly by Google search-ad revenue stemming from Firefox-driven search traffic, has risen steadily over the years. / Stephen Shankland/CNET With more than 400 million Firefox users, Mozilla doesn't have a problem with relevance. And with today's disclosure that organization's revenue grew 33 percent to $163. 5 million in 2011, the nonprofit organization doesn't have a problem with money. But it does have a problem with mobile. So concludes Mitchell Baker, leader of the organization behind the open-source Web browser and other projects designed to keep the Internet free from proprietary constraints. Firefox, which just celebrated its eighth birthday, is the main lever that Mozilla uses to try to keep the Internet open. But Firefox is largely absent from the explosive growth in the mobile world of smartphones and tablets.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
