Let's Talk About the 1995 NEWSWEEK Piece That Says the Internet Will Fail
,----[ Quote ]
| Stoll also complains at length that it is nigh
| on impossible to use this Internet contraption
| to find the date of the Battle of Trafalgar.
| The headlineâTHE INTERNET? BAH!âreads as if
| Montgomery Burns was working the NEWSWEEK copy
| desk that night. And so on. You get the idea.

Google convictions reveal two flaws in EU law, not just Italian law
,----[ Quote ]
| Criticism of last week's conviction of
| three Google executives has focused on
| Italy's legal system. That focus risks
| missing a wider point. Web hosts are
| unfairly exposed all across the EU and two
| legal changes are needed.
|
| It could be three months before we get the
| court's full explanation for convicting
| Google's Chief Legal Officer David
| Drummond, Global Privacy Counsel Peter
| Fleischer and former Chief Financial
| Officer George Reyes. That judgment will
| explain why they were held responsible for
| a video that showed an autistic child
| being bullied by Turin school pupils, a
| video that appeared on the Italian site of
| Google Video in 2006.

Soldier Sues Because He Insists Movie 'Hurt Locker' Must Have Been Based On His Life
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, it's amusing to note that while
| he claims the movie was based on him, he's
| also claiming defamation, in that the
| movie portrays him in false light (such as
| in that the character is a bad father).
