  • I like this one. A "terrorist suspect" decides to put his entire life online to stay out of Guantanamo. I’m sure they’ll still find a way. "You made an anti US remark between the 9:18 espresso and getting on the 325 bus at 9:23. You’re going down."
  • Here’s a mighty useful piece of software: Ibackup. Pay a few quid a month, Install it, within 5 minutes it’s backing everything up online, every night. Brilliant. I can finally go to sleep knowing that even if my flat goes up in flames I won’t lose all of last year’s invoices. Phew.
  • Cory Doctorow (congrats on the little one by the way!) on why personal data is as scary as nuclear waste.
  • And while we’re on the subject of nuclear waste, check out these designs for a system of signs and monuments to let future generations know to steer clear of particularly nasty areas. Beautiful.
