  Posted by Damianmann from American Free Press
  A new study from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Nevada Reno says that net neutrality is a bad idea. Of course, that’s what you’d expect it to say. It was paid for by AT&T.

- How The Internet And Innocence Kill Culture
  Posted by HeatherOrato
  Andrew Keen, Author of Cult of the Amateur: How The Internet Is Killing Today's Culture says, "The cult of the amateur is the love affair that we all have for amateur-created content on the Internet. By amateur, I mean content created by people without the kind of monetary award that allows one to pay one’s mortgage or put food on the table"...read more on www.orato.com...

  Posted by Orato
  Why do I blog? Believe it or not, laziness has been a great motivator. I grew increasingly fatigued of repeating all my HILARIOUS anecdotes over and over and passing around my digital camera so my drunk friends could squint at the display screen. I also spend about 27 hours a day on the Internet reading other people's blogs anyway, so it wasn't much of a stretch to find a format I liked and make the jump myself. Plus, I still haven't found...

  Ominously enough I finished a page of about 10 of my first strips and put it on line around 2a.m., Sept. 11, 2001. So as you can imagine, six or seven hours later no one was going to read my comic strip because that was the day the World Trade Centers fell. It was a pretty inauspicious beginning...

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.
