Tuesday Tabs
Tuesday’s make me feel old. At least I don’t have to reboot as much now that I rock iFreeMem.
· EBay boycott winds down, but anger remains - CNNMoney
EBay stands strong, contrast with Digg’s buckling. We’ll see if this boycott actually proves EBay’s strength or their users’. Where’s the popcorn??
· Iridium May Go Public Again - techdirt
Crazy! I thought they took down all them satellites, turns out someone bought the whole enchilada for $25 million?? And now they’re going public?? Nice.
· Google funds Photoshop-on-Linux work - CNET Asia
Does Google do crap like this just to twist Ballmer’s nipples? Seriously, what other reason is there?
· Why Google Apps is a Serious Threat to Microsoft Office - ReadWriteWeb
And the rebuttal of why it will fail. Personally, I think it poses a minor threat now, which could grow in a few years to something real.
· Internet Censorship: A Comparative Study - Global Integrity Commons
Puts the recent US court order to block wikileaks.org into the context of global censorship. Short answer - it doesn’t look very good for us…
· Supreme Court Refuses To Hear Wiretap Case - dslreports
I’m so glad we live in a democracy where our branches are filled with checks and balances.
· Fear of Internet Predators Largely Unfounded - schneier
I like this quote “The Internet may not be as risky as a lot of other things that parents do without concern, such as driving kids to the mall and leaving them there for two hours.”
