It looks like Path has heeded the words of investor Michael Arrington. Yesterday, the startup faced a major privacy backlash when it was revealed that the social app was uploading user’s address book data without actually telling the user.

Some people might say that there’s no way Google could be more aware of your browsing habits. Not true! There is much they don’t know. But it’s not because they don’t want to know. Last night Google rolled out two programs aimed at increasing their awareness of how people use their browsers — what sites they visit, for how long, for what purpose, etc. They’ll pay you for the privilege, a bit like being a Nielsen family. They even give you a little box! The “lightweight” option (first noted at S...  show all text

Oh, drama! Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins is not pleased with LeBron James’ reaction on Twitter to Perkins’ victimization by what many have called the “dunk of the year.” Perkins was on the receiving end of an especially savage slam by Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin last week. Griffin took a pass on the left side of the court and leapt from just inside the lane. He absorbed a body blow from Perkins, then rose higher in the air and threw the ball through the rim from a ne...  show all text
