Self-Policing The Internet, or An Ion Cannon In...
Some people just can’t take a hint.  With the entertainment industry licking its wounds in the wake of the SOPA/PIPA blackout protests, and a public and tech industry forcefully rejecting the way Hollywood has manipulated and bought the lawmakers, what happened next? Less than a week passes, and the entertainment industry gets Megaupload taken down. Yes, that’s right; at a time when...

I’m copying Katie’s resolution.  I...

Feminist Heroes and a Dragon Tattoo
I saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo yesterday, and having never read the book or seen the original film, I came to it completely fresh.  I enjoyed it.  It has quite a lot of the feel of The Social Network (and I think Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ excellent score has as much to do with that as does Fincher’s direction), but there’s just something niggling with me that I...
