ArsTechnica: Goin' Mobile. I'm one of the 3% who don't have a landline. I have a friend who used to work at Qwest, and she said they call this "loss of primary access" and it really worries them. Let 'em burn, I say.

They also have a scary poll about the First Amendment. Hold on, Jefferson, half of those surveyed think the First Amendment goes too far and further more, about half of those surveyed think the press has been too agressive trying to get details from the government about the war on terrorism. Too agressive? I think I'll go calm down with a nice dose of Media Whores Online, even though it's a guilty pleasure.

Ray Ozzie has a good post on Digital Restrictions Management and the trouble that users have with the concept: Nondiscretionary Controls: can't live with 'em, can't.... I saw this on Ed Felton's weblog, Freedom to Tinker.

Felton also has some good posts recently.

I also really enjoy his Misleading Terms category, like "Content Owner".

This is an email to myself which should be posted in the Bloxsom blog that I am using. Being able to use autoformatting makes this much more useful, as I can include links and formatting and other stuff.
