Posted about 23 hours ago by clementine to ReflectionOf.Me Thousands of people gathered Sunday in central Istanbul to protest the government's plan to implement an Internet-filtering system in August. Carrying posters reading "Free banned links now" and "Hands off our Internet," the crowd continually applauded to show their objection and held sit-down strikes during their two-hour march from Taksim Square to Tünel at the end of Istiklal Avenue. The government has said the filtering system will offer users the option of choosing between varying levels of access to the Internet with the main goal being to protect children from indecent content. Critics, however, have expressed doubt about the government's intentions. The group included w riters from "Ekşi sözlük" (Sour Dictionary) electronic platform. They said the Prime Ministry's Information Technologies Board, or BTK, plans to restrict people's right to reach unbiased information with the online-filtering system.   See the full gallery on Posterous This is paparazzo waiting outside my yoga class.

Well, as it turns out the claims are, for the vast majority of home theater users, utter rubbish. According to tests ran on five different HDMI cables, ranging in price from less than $5 up to more than $100, HDMI brands really don't matter." http://bit.ly/mU27S7" title="Share on Twitter" target="_blank"> Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Lamar Smith, is preparing a bill which would require internet service providers to retain information about their users to aid in criminal investigations. This particular bill would be a smaller part of a large measure to strengthen sanctions against acts such as child pornography. The most interesting part of this bill however is not who it targets but rather who it does not. The bill would make wireless companies exempt from the requirement to store user data."

Telehack Re-Creates the Internet of 25 Years Ago Posted about 9 hours ago by joelpomales to joelpomales's posterous Telehack Re-Creates the Internet of 25 Years Ago via Slashdot by timothy on 5/13/11 saccade.com writes "Telehack.com has meticulously re-created the Internet as it appeared to a command line user over a quarter century ago. Drawing on material from Jason Scott's TextFiles.com, the text-only world of the 1980s appears right in your browser. If you want to show somebody what the Arpanet looked like (you didn't call it the "Internet" until the late '80s) this is it. Using the 'finger' command and seeing familiar names from decades ago (some, sadly, ghosts now) sends a chill down your spine." http://bit.ly/jIOSuU" title="Share on Twitter" target="_blank"> Read more of this story at Slashdot.
