Obama doesn't want you to have privacy using a cellphone
The Obama administration is arguing in court that there is no expectation of privacy while using a cell phone. That is, the administration wants to track you without probable cause or a warrant. As usual, the EFF and the ACLU seem to be the only people that care...

What a great day!
No, really. For once, I'm being sincere. How has my day been great? Let me count the ways:
- Music sales, especially CD sales plunge Take that, RIAA! Your demise is imminent!
- News Corp and NBC announce plans for YouTube clone File this under "We're a bit late to the party" and "We don't get this community-driven thing... this service will work, right?"
- University of Nebraska asks RIAA to pay its processing fees Take that, RIAA! Although they did ask rather politely, don't you think?
- Child Online Protection Act struck down No censorship in the guise of anti-porn filters! Yay!
- EFF sues Viacom over DMCA YouTube request The EFF, always fighting the good fight.
- It's California weather in DC... time to go outside!

There is a 6.5% chance that you are a terrorist
According to CNN, every American and person travelling through America gets assigned a score when travelling corresponding to how likely they are to be a terrorist. Never mind that it's a massive privacy invasion, of questionable value to law enforcement, and according to an EFF lawyer " probably the most invasive system the government has yet deployed in terms of the number of people affected"... at least people will now have something to talk about at airports: threat score comparison! Mine is a .072, what's yours?
