Tech at Night: We won a battle on SOPA; LightSquared heating up; OBAMA shows sense on privacy
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 17th at 02:30 AM |
Wednesday night I put off all Tech at Night topics except for SOPA because the critical mark up votes in Committee were coming up. We weren’t supposed to be able to stop SOPA, but we could at least raise awareness, put up a fight, and prepare for the floor votes. And sure enough, the vote to keep the Internet censorship provisions went in favor of | Read More »

We must defeat SOPA: Tech at Night Special
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 15th at 03:30 AM |
Ordinarily I use Tech at Night to cover a variety of topics that come my way, and I have them in my queue for tonight. But with over 30 items to consider and integrate, most of them on SOPA, I’m shelving the rest for Friday, and discussing just one topic tonight: We must defeat SOPA in the House. It is entirely unacceptable, and I believe | Read More »

Tech at Night: One great idea and two bad ideas in the House
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 19th at 09:30 PM |

Tech at Night: Free Press, FCC, Net Neutrality, Comcast, Level 3, OpenBSD, Wikileaks
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 16th at 03:00 AM |
Once upon a time I used to be sleep at midnight. Of course, if I’d buckle down and get Tech at Night out the door a few hours earlier, then I’d be able to be asleep right now at midnight, I suppose. Regardless, here we go. The FCC’s Net Neutrality vote is still on for the 21st, that is, Tuesday. Of course they’d miss the | Read More »
