Wanking to lewd Web videos now a crime in the Philippines!

Now that there is an anti-Cybercrime law in the Philippines, stuff published online is now subject to the same libel laws that have for some time been applied to stuff published on traditional media like newspapers and magazines and broadcast on TV and radio. I suppose the principle there is that computers and their networks…

Time for some nipple activism!

Time for some nipple activism!

Gadget envy: Why Tito Sotto’s plagiarism fails the ‘So What? Test’

Not to put too fine a point to it but Philippine Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III is now the laughingstock of the country. His consistent failure to recognise the errors in the way he allegedly lifted material verbatim from several bloggers’ works to use in a speech he delivered to defend his position against the…

App.net: Would you pay to be social online?

Tech entrepeneur Dalton Caldwell is betting that after free social networking services like Friendster, MySpace, then Facebook and Twitter had succeeded in turning social media into something as essential to the 21st Century human being as air, people will now be willing to pay for it.

Is Pinterest the first of a new breed of Facebook-killers?

I remember back when Facebook was still a nice site. By nice, then, I don’t mean it is unpleasant now. It was “nice” then because it didn’t mean to be anything else but a place for people to get togther. It was social in the purest sense of being social. People re-connected with old friends…
