Issues with Tor; "Victims of Egerstad's research project included embassies belonging to Australia, Japan, Iran, India and Russia. Egerstad also found accounts belonging to the foreign ministry of Iran, the United Kingdom's visa office in Nepal and the Defence Research and Development Organization in India's Ministry of Defence. In addition, Egerstad was able to read correspondence belonging to the Indian ambassador to China, various politicians in Hong Kong, workers in the Dalai Lama's liaison office and several human-rights groups in Hong Kong." link

WTF. "'There have been two or three reports of public executions of North Korean young people in major cities including Chungjin, as punishment for having illegally copied and distributed South Korean visual material' said Kang Chul Hwan, vice-chairman of the Seoul-based Committee for the Democratization of North Korea." link

Ah, so that's where.. "Statetris is an interesting game mixing aspects of the popular game 'Tetris' and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location." link

"A popular Facebook application that promises users privacy in exchange for opinions on their friends is acting as a stooly by offering the information for others to buy." Haha, cos no-one saw that coming.. link

it does seem like it would be a very nifty gadget and the concept has so much potential, but my worry is that all looks a bit too 'concept art with a flash-y site' at this moment in time, but fingers crossed they will be shipping it on time come november. a new high entry on The List...

An MP3 player that beat matches is an awesome idea! Still, one that allows protable DJ'ing (to the same standard as a program such as Ableton Live) would be a yet more impressive step.

This business with Facebook is lame. Not because it might reveal who voted who, but because there's people who even bother to vote on that stuff without the guts to say that they think like that. Lesson there is - don't hide behind the Intrawebz, stand by what you say or say nothing. On that note, I don't have or want Facebook.

a bespoke device for that task would be interesting concept, although i'm not sure how much of a market there would be for that given laptops are already used by many for just that purpose

funny you mention that as i've recently been bitten by supposed friends who have created drama out of their inability to communicate on issues close to home with others in a civil fashion. more on that in another post soon.
