• Ein Texteditor mit Workflows: Editorial "In den ersten 24 Stunden mit Editorial konnte ich alle meine eingeschliffenen Arbeitsabläufe vom Desktop auf das iPad übertragen und den bereits bestehenden Blog-Alltag vom iPad erweitern. Editorial ist mächtig."
• Once Again: Just Because You Can Search For Infringing Content Via Search Engines Doesn’t Mean Many People Do "We look where it is easiest to look. By definition, one of the easiest places to look for something online is a search engine. If one uses terms like “torrent” and “free download”, it is possible to find search results that linking to infringing content. Because search results are easily observed, the streetlight effect tells us, this is where the observation occurs. As a result, some will fixate – like this RIAA memo – on infringing search results, notwithstanding the fact that pirates tend not to use general-purpose search engines for finding infringing content."

• Phil Zimmermann: “Ich dachte nicht, dass es so schlimm kommen würde” "The surveillance landscape is far worse than it has ever been and I feel like everything we do is now observable.

As we noted with President Obama's speech, it's not just more transparency that people want here – they want less spying. And, as a part of that, they need to know that companies will stand up and fight for their users' rights. And while a few tech companies have shown signs of doing that, it's still be fairly muted."

• Press Suckered By Anti-Google Group’s Bogus Claim That Gmail Users Can’t Expect Privacy | Techdirt "The press release from Consumer Watchdog fits along its typical approach to these things: take something totally out of context, put some hysterical and inaccurate phrasing around it, dump an attention-grabbing headline on it and send it off to the press." Erinnert mich an ein deutsches Blog.

• 10 Thesen zum Neuen Spiel | ctrl+verlust "Vielmehr schaffen die Snowdenleaks durch das Internet eine zivile Weltöffentlichkeit. Sie war laut Snowden der Adressat seiner Enthüllungen und als solche sollten wir auf die Enthüllungen auch reagieren. Das Neue Spiel heißt “Vernetzte Weltöffentlichkeit vs. Staaten”.
