Very strange goings-on.
“Russia” is apparently “cyber-warring” “Estonia”!
The Loose Wire writes that Russian hackers have been carrying out denial of service (DDos) attacks on Estonian websites.
The Insights Blog gives us a bit of ..insight!..into the Estonian/Russian background and tensions.
The BBC says Estonia wants to stick this at the top of Friday”s EU-Russia summit agenda.
So what do the techies out there think about this funny business?
you may have noticed a new addition to my links over on the sidebar - my del.icio.us
I”ve just started it recently, so it”s very short and sweet - but watch the space as it will be growing exponentially, i”m having lot”s of fun with it.
i think this whole google debacle and backlash highlights one thing:
independent media
–> and more importantly - the need for it.
as we all know and can see, this is of paramount importance. essentially Google in going down this route is seriously compromising any independence it may have had.
State-sponsored media - ah well..not very interesting for a lot of us.
