Guest Blog By Carey Mercer: How The Vancouver Olympics Is Fucking Over
Your Favourite Artists, And Why You Should Care
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of days ago Frog Eyes
| frontman/Swan Lake member Carey Mercer
| sent us a link to an article in the
| Edmonton Journal that discussed a clause
| in the contracts signed by performers at
| the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics that
| barred them from speaking negatively about
| the Games or the Olympic organizing
| committee.

Novelist And Poet Says Google Books And The Kindle Are 'Nazi' Technology
,----[ Quote ]
| Normally, I would just call Godwin's Law,
| and move on, but this is just beyond
| bizarre. Automatically assuming that all
| new high tech is a straight line from the
| Holocaust is just sickening and delusional
| beyond pretty much any level of standard
| luddism.

Microsoft Claims It Fixed Bing's Chinese Search 'Bug'
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft claims it fixed a controversial
| "bug" that made Bing Image Search deliver
| uniformly pro-Chinese-government results
| to politically sensitive queries inputted
| in Simplified Chinese.
|
| Bing came under fire on Nov. 20 from New
| York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who
| accused Microsoft of "craven kowtowing" to
| the Chinese government by offering
| "sanitized pro-Communist results" in
| response to Bing searches in Simplified
| Chinese for terms such as "Tiananmen" and
| "Dalai Lama."
