Japan bans American GM-tainted long grain rice.

The BBC reports on Japan banning American long-grain GM rice. The ban will remain in effect until the US can say the rice no longer contains the genetically engineered variety. This ban will not affect the majority of American rice imported by Japan which is short and medium-grain. The US agriculture secretary Mike Johanns said: [...]

BusinessWeek parades their ignorance.

The BusinessWeek article is valuable in that it touches on some incompatibilities amongst the parties speaking up about the GPLv3 drafts. Unfortunately some of the conclusions the article draws give undeserved credit and misreport others’ intentions.

You need to see “The Corporation”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Corporation is one of the most underrated movies. I concur with C. Middleton who said I believe this is one of the best and most important documentary films to be made in many years. This is an extraordinary film about the creation of the American [...]

The fruit of the ACLU’s labor: ending G.W. Bush’s warrantless wiretaps.

You should be glad that the ACLU is on the case. Myriad links about the case courtesy of the EFF which sued AT&T for its role in illegal spying.

Should Planet blogs ask permission? Today, yes. Tomorrow, no.

A Planet blog is a blog where all the posts come from other blogs. Visit the GNOME.org Planet blog for an example. On one side you see a list of all the people whose blogs make up planet.gnome.org, on the other side you see the blog posts. The question I’d like you to consider is: [...]

Google: the proprietor of your programs and your data, at what cost to your privacy and civil liberties?

Occasionally I come across articles about Google that say they can’t understand Google’s business plan. Google’s business plan seems obvious to me and has for some time now—collect and index data about a large number of people and then deliver interesting summaries of that information to their paying clients. They’ll acquire the information by providing [...]

The dangers of DRM for children

Here’s a nice book for you to share with children: The Pig and the Box. It’s licensed under the Creative Commons NonCommercial ShareAlike license so you can share it non-commercially as much as you like. You can even build on it, remix it, translate it, and make new stuff based on it so long as [...]

Freedom or power?

Someone who apparently works for Novell (a distributor of a GNU/Linux system) named “dobey” asks I continue to see people blog about how site foo doesn’t use open source software to play videos, or how company bar won’t release some piece of code as open source. And the big argument here is always how it [...]

Apple building its iPod popularity on the backs of its abused labor force.

The BBC reports that despite Apple’s alleged zero tolerance policy for any instance, isolated or not, of any treatment of workers that could be interpreted as harsh, Apple has been found to support workers: working more than six consecutive days 25% of the time, working more than 60 hours a week a third of the [...]

Will it become illegal to digitize analog video signals?

Ars Technica reports on a developing case where Macrovision, developers of a well-known video anti-copying technique preventing easy duplication of DVDs and videotapes, sued Sima, developer of a well-known anti-Macrovision device one can plug in between a DVD player and a VCR (or two VCRs) to make copies. If Sima loses, what rights do you [...]
