Google hacked by Chinese, wants out
Google is likely to withdraw its Google.cn service in coming days, amid revelations of breaches to Google and other companies’ data security. Without actually naming the Chinese government, Google has stated that these attacks originated in China, and that the privacy of Chinese human rights activists has been compromised.
It may appear that Google has sacrificed financial gain in order to...

Palin joins peers at Fox News →
Sarah Palin will join the right-wing Fox News channel as a commentator. Although she is not renowned for her media savvy, given her ignorance and gullibility many in the world will hope this ensures she never gets near a presidential campaign again.

An interesting profile of the Sea Shepherd leader cum modern-day Captain Nemo. It gives insight into recent events. One has to give him credit for backing up his convictions with bold action over so many years.

I think the video evidence leaves it open to interpretation.

Apple dealing digital crack
I my self am totally hooked. But I can’t help but feel a little exploited by the way they try to lock us into their products. For example, I know a time will come when I’d like to move on from an Apple gadget, only to realise that I can’t play my music on it! As much as I can’t get enough, I wonder why Apple can’t be more like Google—they could make their products...
