Found this: [..]This simple decision, taken by a computer scientist used to working in environments that promoted openness and transparency, eclipses any hype about subsequent Twitter revolutions, Facebook campaigns or political protests ascribed to the platform since. The invention of the web is comparable to Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press in 1450. Like the printing press, the [...] “But but but,” I hear you protest, “what about the children? They’re learning bad things online!” Yes and they used to hang out on street corners and learn bad things there too. Now that we’re so scared of one another in real-life that we won’t pop next door for a cup of sugar in case the [...] It’s quite [...] Cool, I got the current round of Facebook spam on my wall. It’s cool, because now I get to show you folk the one simple thing you can do that will protect you from phishing attacks more than any anti-virus software you’ll ever get. It uses legacy technology known as ‘eyeballs’ and really isn’t that complicated. But first [...] I had to push a photo taken on my HTC Desire to my Laptop today, and got a little stuck. After connecting, it wasn’t immediately apparent which folder contained the photos.

Local trends for the globe, but Oz misses out so far.. Now, I didn’t expect humble little Ballarat to appear [...] I’ve tried a few times now to write this post. It’s about Stephen Conroy’s Mandatory Internet Filter, and I’ll be damned if it hasn’t been difficult not to have it descend into a sledgefest. Here’s the thing. Conroy is not being honest with you.
