Censorship ‘changes face of net’ – BBC NEWS

Amnesty International has warned that the internet “could change beyond all recognition” unless action is taken against the erosion of online freedoms.

The warning comes ahead of a conference organised by Amnesty, where victims of repression will outline their plights.

The “virus of internet repression” has spread from a handful of countries to dozens of governments, said the group.

Amnesty accused companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo of being complicit in the problem.

You know the problem I see here is why is there no filtering software at this school? I mean hell most schools already filter myspace and facebook but not porn?? Oh right I forgot Myspace and Facebook let pedophiles talk to kids while porn just teaches them how to get extra credit.

The Games That Defined The Nintendo NES – racketboy.com

The Nintendo Entertainment System is legendary in the video game world. Nintendo virtually came out of nowhere to invade the world with a reborn love for home-based video games.

Dreamhost leaks 3,500 FTP passwords – Caydel’s SEO Blog

I just recieved this email from Dreamhost. It seems that they’ve leaked 3500 FTP account passwords somehow.

That explains a lot – about 2 weeks ago, someone used my password to upload tons of spam links to my sites. At the time, I contacted Dreamhost indicating the problem, and they assured me that their servers were secure, and it *must* be my problem. Looks like it wan’t me.
