The headline says it all, I think. Comcast did what they did in secret, denied it when confronted, and furthermore tried to cover it up when it was exposed. Why did they do it in secret, and deny it when they were confronted? Because they knew it was wrong. It really is that [...]
Interesting little video showing Canadian (probable) undercover police agents trying to stir up violence at a protest. The undercover agents are the ones with the rocks in their hands, and the masks on their faces. This has happened before, certainly, but with video camaras being just about everywhere, and anyone being able to [...]
Jim Harper, in an attempt to plug all the holes in his argument that AT&T’s censorship of seven or eight bands is unimportant makes the interesting discovery that it is impossible to ever discuss censored speech. You see, if we are talking about it, it obviously hasn’t been censored(!?) How can I argue [...]

Prediction #12, Comes true…(kind of)
From my Predictions for 2007:
12. There will be a concerted attempt by a group of corporations to make actions similar to the well-publicized investigation by the board of HP during their ‘leak’ investigation legal. These efforts will be both in the form of the contracts which both board members and high [...]
