    • Net neutrality missing from sweeping telecom bill

      Posted by Billbar from News.com

      Included in the massive proposal is, however, one requirement sure to please the recording industry: authorization for the FCC to start the process of outlawing digital over-the-air radio and digital satellite receivers sold today that permit users to record broadcasts.

      Congress may consider mandatory ISP snooping

      Posted by Billbar from News.com

      It didn't take long for the idea of forcing Internet providers to retain records of their users' activities to gain traction in the U.S. Congress. Democratic Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette's proposal says that any Internet service that "enables users to access content" must permanently retain records that would permit police to identify each user.

      Mike McCurry: Mouthpiece For Deception

      Posted by Billbar from MyDD

      Former Clinton press secretary Mike McCurry is deceiving the public, and its making my blood boil. Now, to be clear, working as a lobbyist for telecommunications companies is fine. What's NOT fine is that he's misrepresenting the fight. McCurry is pretending to uphold the Clinton legacy on the internet.

    • Take Action: Don\t Let Congress Ruin the Internet

      Posted by Billbar

      Right now Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the First Amendment of the Internet -- a principle called "network neutrality" that preserves the free and open Internet. Congress needs to hear from you today or they will hand over control of what you do online to companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.

    a pair of box cutters is a potential terrorist tool.

    a piece of paper and a pen are potential terrorst tools.

    a frown or a scowl is a potential terrorist tool.

    NASCAR is a potential terrorist tool.

    Firefox 3 Beta 3 Brings a New Browsing Interface

    I am excited for it – but I wish they would certify plug-ins a bit faster as they go along.

    Firefox 3 Beta 3 Brings a New Browsing Interface

    Maybe it’s the “resource hog” property of Firefox that has kept me away: my system seems alllergic to FF, as the whole thing overheats and shuts down within seconds of the program being accessed.

    Perhaps I should try Beta 3, and see what happens.

    Story | Victoria Times Colonist | Canadians urged to post health-care violations to new website

    Given all the press given to various forms of essentially-universal health care that Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency currently propose, I thought this was very topical. In Canada there are constant threats to our version of universal care/Medicare at all levels – from encroaching privatization from U.S. owned clinics (which, thanks to NAFTA, we can’t remove despite their violation of the Canada Health Act) to extra payments for simple medical equiptment.

    This particular story has to do with efforts to deal with that smaller issue, of course. It’s easier to deal with, though, being strictly illegal. Blocking private care alternatives is a slightly more thorny human rights issue.
