Tech at Night: Anonymous hackers still lie, Obama administration still plans to ignore Congress
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 11th at 02:00 AM |

Out of control. It seems like only defeating Barack Obama in an election will truly stop this administration. Sure, for now they’ve been scared off of the Internet Tax, but with Net Neutrality and the Cybersecurity Executive Order still brewing, the Obama administration has more power grabs up its sleeves than we should ever have allowed.

Tech at Night: Lieberman-Collins is dangerously wrong, Republican Governors backing Sales Tax compact, new Internet policy alliances forming
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 26th at 02:15 AM |
Right now the top issues are both getting lots of attention in the Senate. One is the cybersecurity bill. It’s been difficult for me to find out much about what’s going on with it, and it turns out there’s a reason. Sources familiar with the situation indicate to me that Harry Reid has been negotiating with Republicans in bad faith. Even Republicans who love to | Read More »

Tech at Night: A good old FCC roundup on Independence Day
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 5th at 12:00 AM |
It’s Independence Day, which was very nice for me since I kept on resting and feel just about healthy now. No Tech on Monday thanks to my cold that wiped me out since Sunday. Unfortunately Google decided today was the day to celebrate a song that, while American, was specifically designed to carry political meaning as well as to reply to the Christian and patriotic | Read More »

Tech at Night: The Lieberman-Collins Cybersecurity bill is just that extreme
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 28th at 12:30 AM |
John McCain. Lisa Murkowski. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Saxby Chambliss. Richard Burr. Dan Coats. No, I’m not listing the centrist wing of the Senate Republicans.

Tech at Night: Pirate Bay DDoSed by copyright defenders? Net Neutrality continued. Issa takes on another treaty.
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 17th at 12:30 AM |
Earlier we covered Microsoft’s new Pirate Pay, which I said sounded like a DoS attack against copyright infringers. Others agree and say it may be illegal, which is true. Sure enough, Pirate Bay is under DDoS attack. Has Pirate Pay gone rogue? Cybersecurity and copyright, all in one issue.
