Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed
his office received money from the CIA after a report in the New York Times said
the U.S. intelligence agency delivered tens of millions of dollars in cash to
him in suitcases, backpacks, and plastic shopping bags over the past
decade.
All that money from undisputed legal origins, of
course...

Well
the latest ad coming from Redmond is dubbed Don’t fight and sarcastically
portrays Samsung and Apple’s fans as bickering fanboys, who just love to promote
their favorite brands and bash their opponents.

On
e Year Later, the Results of Tor
Books UK Going DRM-Free
We
had discussions with our authors before we
made the move and we considered very
carefully the two key
concerns for any publisher when stripping out the DRM
from
ebooks: copyright protection and territoriality of sales.
Protecting our
author’s intellectual copyright will always
be of a key concern to us and we
have very stringent anti-
piracy controls in place. But DRM-protected titles are
still
subject to piracy, and we believe a great majority of
readers are just
as against piracy as publishers are,
understanding that piracy impacts on an
author’s ability to
earn an income from their creative work. As it is, we’ve
seen no discernible increase in piracy on any of our titles,
despite them
being DRM-free for nearly a year. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I love the quote from Opera's lawyer, Bing Hodneland
Advokatselskap, that
states:
...Opera chooses not to comment on the case in
detail. The rest of the quote goes into some
detail. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Proposal to fine tech companies for not
wire-tapping peer-to-peer communications
It would be trivial to add a
feature that detects when the encrypted communication is routed through Google's
(or Facebook's) servers, instead of going directly via the peer-to-peer channel
to the client. Google might as well attach a "you are being wire-tapped"
indicator to the application itself. Anyone running any kind of IP-traffic
monitoring tool will know as soon as the peer-to-peer conversation is redirected
from the unusual traffic activity. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

¡Olé!
T
he €30M is significant, but pales in comparison to the added security benefits.
That alone would be worth the switch.
