February 5, 2012
After a serious conversation with a friend, and that it resembled many others before it with other friends, I began to doubt whether I got my career, as well as the direction of life, on the right path. Since I did not have the time to go to some county fair to see some gypsy with a crystal ball, I went online for it. Because it wasn’t simply that gypsy, but her method. In other words, I did the lazy and path

Google Warns Against State Censorship

January 10, 2012
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt informed Dublin summit delegates that some states would like to have control over the Internet. This form of government response was initiated by the increasing use of technology in democratic protests in the Arab world.
