Facebook has new and improved ways of generating ad opportunities and stalk you. Now that all the pages added facebook widgets for “engagement” those widgets will start announcing to the world your browsing habits without even needing you to interact with them.

If you can’t file immediately you better not invent anything.

Oh Noes. More CAs hacked.

Nominet decided police can shutdown the Internet. It’s not that dire but it’s a weird move by a registrar.
