In the fall out of Prism some things have really changed

In the fall out of Prism some things have really changed

By Dan Morrill on October 25, 2013

In the fall out of the NSA Government spying row a number of things have become readily apparent from both the business security viewpoint and the personal security viewpoint.

Why is Quora Censoring our Questions and Answers?

By Mark Fidelman on December 27, 2010

Answer: They are too smart for their own good and not smart enough for everyone else’s. Molly Ivins once quipped, “The strongest human emotion is neither love nor hate.  It is one person’s desire to f#ck with another person’s copy” Well we’re not talking Farenheit 451, more like a quarter of that temperature but complaints […]

W​ikileaks & Amazon – and Why That Was Good for the Rest of Us.

Google's Shot at the Waterline with China

Google's Shot at the Waterline with China

By Dan Morrill on January 13, 2010

Yesterday Google dropped the biggest corporate bombshell in recent memory with the announcement that they are reviewing their operations in China following a very sophisticated cyber attack against Google and some 20 other companies (including Rack Space) that targeted intellectual property and the Chinese dissident community.
