Tech at Night: Twitter targets activists, SAFE data act expands regulation, California anti-tax referendum, Google, Apple, Anonymous
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 20th at 11:00 PM |
Twitter has a credibility problem on its hands, all of a sudden. Even as I’m getting blind link spam sent to me every single day on the site, Twitter has singled out a conservative activist group to have its accounts wiped out. Not only was the Empower Texans feed shut down, but every single employee’s personal feed was targeted as well. Twitter’s response has been | Read More »

Tech at Night: Anonymous picks on the troops, HTC loses ruling against Apple
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 18th at 11:30 PM |
Short Tech at Night tonight, and boy do I need it. Unsurprisingly, when you’re running a massive calorie deficit to lose weight, exercise gets harder! I’m going to put two stories out here. If people are inspired to a course of vigilante action, well, then that’s not my fault. Anonymous’s Antisec is picking on the troops. Anonymous is launching a Google+ competitor for its members | Read More »

Tech at night: Upcoming battle in copyright, Sad defeats in patent and taxation
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 7th at 03:30 AM |
I remember when the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed. It created a boatload of new rules and restrictions on Americans, in the name of tightening copyright online. One of the key provisions of the DMCA is the “safe harbor” rule, which effectively turns ISPs into agents of copyright, by making them honor so-called DMCA takedown notices in exchange for not being held responsible for what’s | Read More »

Tech at Night: FCC puts ideology first, Lulzsec punks out, Conservatives like Mike Lee must help Google
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 28th at 02:00 AM |
And we truly are back. Friday night was a night off thanks to some maintenance at RedState. It was nice because I could rest on a Friday night… but it’s not so nice now when I have a whopping 20 Firefox windows to sort through tonight. So here we go. With so many big stories going on, it’s hard to pick which one to start | Read More »

Tech at Night: Shoot the Hackers, Defeat the Patent Ripoff, Reform the FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 23rd at 01:30 AM |
Can we just start shooting the hackers? It seems like it’s war on the Internet these days, and the more there is for me to cover, the more work it is churning out Tech at Night! Lulzsec denies the allies are in Baghdad the leader is arrested despite an earlier claim on Twitter that it was true. Anyway, Shame on the Daily Mail for trying | Read More »

Tech at Night: Amazon Tax in California, George Soros and OSI loom behind the AT&T opposition, Net Neutrality, More problems with the FCC’s 706 report
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 26th at 03:00 AM |
This week I already called upon Rick Perry to veto the Texas Amazon Tax, and now I’m left to hope that California Democrats will be less stupid than Joe Straus. Sigh. Meanwhile the posturing around the AT&T/T-Mobile deal continues. We find from a press conference with COMPTEL CEO Jerry James that the Rural Cellular Alliance is joining with radical left, George Soros/OSI-funded group Public Knowledge | Read More »
