Google playing at the Chinese gameboard

The search-gigant Google is not to political correct when they defend the chinese governments censorship of the Net. They are defending the proxy-ways of making a searchindex with arguments like "In order to create the best possible news search experience for our users, we sometimes decide not to include some sites, for a variety of reasons.".

What's the fuzz? The chinese surfers aren't able to see the sites even if Google choose to keep them in their index? Wrong. Most of the more skilled surfers in China knows how to work-around the Great Virtual Wall so when Google is put the forbidden sites out of the index it's a real act of censorship. (E-Media Tidbits)

Microsoft is fucking us up

CNET News.com has the new and no-improved bruha of the Redmond dinosaur. The new security-enchanced version of IE is only available for XP-users. And the catch is to get everyone to upgrade.

Microsoft's new approach where security-issues should be on top of their list is just bs since they totally ignore the fact that to be able to upgrade to XP, the user have to be a pretty new computer and that operative is like walking in glue when using it with less than 512 mb RAM.

I think Microsoft do the same mistake as the former No. 1 Netscape did - trying to fuck us users up. The giant is going down. In flames.

No dildos in Alabama

If you want to buy a dildo or buttplug, or why not a doll with three holes you surely don't have to look for it anywhere in Alabama. The red-neck state have had a law since 1998 where the market of sex toys is forbidden. But since this is a question of the invidual and surely in some way the freedom of speech (ey, wrong lips...) the ban have been questioned. But the federal court OKs the ban: If the people of Alabama in time decide that a prohibition on sex toys is misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly, they can repeal the law and be finished with the matter," the court said.

On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like.

The looking through concrete

Concrete is a massive material. Not anymore. The LiTraCon-company have managed to make concrete that are almost transparent. There's no more magic than that the company have let glass fibres be embedded into the wet concrete which give the concrete blocks that let the light pass through. (via Veer).
