So the FCC is meeting soon, and that’s probably going to produce some news. Some of us are hoping for the best under the new FCC Chairman, but he may yet be a radical extremist who will try yet again on Net Neutrality, after the FCC has lost twice in court when attempting that power grab.

Mt. Gox, the Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange that became a Bitcoin hub, may yet be a scam. Bitcoin and crime, Bitcoin and crime.
If people actually cared about privacy they wouldn’t ask their friends to give information to Facebook. But they don’t care about privacy. They just like to say they do. It’s fashionable, like saying you voted.
Wearing a computer on your face while driving isn’t less of a distraction than a phone, I don’t think. Some state legislators agree. I’ve worn Google Glass on my face.
