SOPA Supporters On The Run | TechCrunch
Support in Washington for the SOPA anti-piracy bill in Congress (and its Senate equivalent, PIPA), is waning. After weeks of mounting uproar online, Congressional leaders started backpedaling last week and the Obama Administration weighed in on Saturday in response to online petitions to stop the bills. The White House issued a clear rejection of some of the main principles of SOPA. While the Whit
Why we need to stop SOPA and PIPA - Joi Ito's Web
I just posted a blog post on the MIT Media Lab blog officially taking a position against SOPA and PIPA. This is a longer blog post co-authored with Ethan Zuckerman describing the issue in more detail. SOPA - the Stop Online Piracy Act - and a sister bill, PIPA - the Protect IP Act - seek to minimize the dissemination of copyrighted material online by targeting sites that promote and enable the sha

Opinion | Why Is Europe a Dirty Word? (Published 2012)
PARIS QUELLE horreur! One of the uglier revelations about President Obama emerging from the Republican primaries is that he is trying to turn the United States into Europe. “He wants us to turn into a European-style welfare state,” warned Mitt Romney. Countless versions of that horrific vision creep into Romney’s speeches, suggesting that it would “poison the very spirit of America.” Rick Santorum
Is Too Much Plus a Minus for Google?
On Tuesday, Google announced something called Search, plus Your World (SPYW). It marked a startling transformation of the company’s flagship product, Google Search, into an amplifier of social content. Google’s critics—as well as some folks generally well intentioned towards Google—have complained that the social content it amplifies is primarily Google’s own product, Google+. They have a point. O
iTWire - Systemd's latest conquest: the 'su' command

The tiredness is evident on his face after the long haul from the US to Australia. Moments before that I have looked around and, noticing a man pushing what looks like a luggage trolley, turned back to my magazine again as I wait for him to arrive. But then that happens to

asahi.com（朝日新聞社）：スマホの有料アプリ、情報流出に注意 国が実態調査へ - ビジネス・経済
印刷 関連トピックスグーグル従来型携帯とスマートフォンの決済の流れの違い 一部のスマートフォン（多機能携帯電話）で「アプリ」という有料ソフトを買った人の個人情報が流出する問題が発覚し、総務省と経済産業省は１３日、実態調査に乗り出した。しかし、スマホは、従来の携帯電話とは決済の仕組みも違い、利用者の情報をどう守るかが課題になりそうだ。 トラブルは、米グーグルの基本ソフト「アンドロイド」上で使うアプリを購入するサイト「アンドロイドマーケット」で起きた。ここで有料アプリを買った人の所番地や部屋番号を含む住所、電話番号などが、知らない間にアプリの提供事業者に送られていた。グーグルは、システムの更新で生じた不具合として、１２日までに改善したが、詳細部分を除いた住所やメールアドレスが送られる仕組みは今後も続く。 今回の事態を受け、川端達夫総務相は１３日、「事実関係を確認し、対処していきたい。やっ
