The Elusive BackCountry Ibis

With much patience and stealth I was finally able to photograph the elusive BackCountry Ibis! People everywhere have wondered how the Apple logo on Macbooks came to loose a bite. Here in the dim light of the full moon, we finally see the very rare and peculiar Ibis feeding on its favorite diet.

new Facebook Governance Rules - fewer words, same abuse of intellectual property

not liking either Facebook Governance Rules:
 
the old existing intellectual property rules:
 
"By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically
grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant,
to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable,
fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use,
copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt
(in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any
purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection
with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works
of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant
and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing."
 
the proposed new intellectual property rules:
 
"For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like
photos and videos (“IP content”), you specifically give us the
following permission, subject to your privacy and application
settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable,
royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on
or in connection with Facebook (“IP License”)."
 
fewer words, same appropriation of MY content. In a nutshell, don't
post any intellectual property on Facebook... no pics, no poems, no
writings of any significance.
