Tech at Night: Obama’s Cybersecurity is the new Global Warming
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 3rd at 04:35 AM |

Surprise:Obama’s cybersecurity plans don’t actually fix anything, they just expand government. And yet the administration shamelessly attempts to use the crisis of storm Sandy to try to achieve this end.
At this point the administration’s cybersecurity efforts are as delusional and straw-grasping as its global warming efforts. Though what’s sad is that unlike global warming, there actually is a kernel of truth there that we as a nation could be acting on, but Obama is distracting us with his attempts to expand government.

Tech at Night: A lot of tech legislation I hate, and a big win against the Fairness Doctrine
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 9th at 03:30 AM |
With fourteen articles to run through tonight, a near record, I don’t have time to waste. We’ll start with Joshua Trevino bringing us Bill Peacock on the Texas Amazon Tax.

So now they want to redefine high-speed Internet access as something new and | Read More »
