  From study of hunter gatherers, it shows that religion predated agriculture. They were simpler religions than what developed afterwards, as the article points out. And so, simians would not need to start farming before they got religious, if that turned out to be possible.

  most popular android app caught harvesting users contacts: facebookby daniel eran dilger.

  facebook, the top-ranking free app in google play, has taken advantage of android's weak platform security to collect users' phone numbers as soon as the app is installed, highlighting core differences in apple's approach to protecting users' privacy and those of social-advertising firms like facebook and google.. .

  the news of facebook's latest "leak" was outed by symantec after it analyzed various android apps using its norton mobile insight tool designed to "discover malicious applications, privacy risks, and potentially intrusive behavior.".

  Most popular Android app caught harvesting users contacts: Facebook

  By Daniel Eran Dilger

  Facebook, the top-ranking free app in Google Play, has taken advantage of Android's weak platform security to collect users' phone numbers as soon as the app is installed, highlighting core differences in Apple's approach to protecting users' privacy and those of social-advertising firms like Facebook and Google.

  The news of Facebook's latest "leak" was outed by Symantec after it analyzed various Android apps using its Norton Mobile Insight tool designed to "discover malicious applications, privacy risks, and potentially intrusive behavior."
  
  Symantec didn't need to dig deep into Google Play to find pay dirt, but its researchers still noted that it "even surprised us when we reviewed the most popular applications exhibiting privacy leaks."
  
  The firm stated, "the first time you launch the Facebook application, even before logging in, your phone number will be sent over the Internet to Facebook servers. You do not need to provide your phone number, log in, initiate a specific action, or even need a Facebook account for this to happen."

  i thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.

  ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.

  i was late 20s at the time.

  'The neocortex size correlates with a number of social variables that include social group size and complexity of mating behaviors. In chimpanzees the neocortex occupies 50% of the brain, whereas in modern humans it occupies 80% of the brain.'

  So, theres a small chance that chimps have the potential for religious type concepts? Kind of funny. What does jay hoover think of this?

  awhile back i posted about my wife's father passing away.

  despite her not attending meetings or even the memorial in quite some time, she and her father were always very close.

  he understood her condition and did not fault her for not attending or not being active.

  My condolences to her, for her loss. I understand what she is going through.

  For a loss, having something to do, especially together w other people who are sympathetic and understand helps. Just being around sympathetic, understanding people helps. Time helps the most. Booze helps.

  Being in nature helps. Cute, furry animals to pet and watch play helps. Swimming, being in water helps. Gardens, trees, stuff like that.

  context was a discussion of anti-war groups.

  the caption for the pic described the jws as "pathetic" (probably reflecting the victorious postwar mood).

  outlaw could probably have some fun incorporating this pic into his comments!

  Successful business people, that i have seen, deal w shit and quickly flush what they don't want. They don't delay making the decisions. They do things at the right time. They are also able to sit and wait for what they want to come around.
