The RP’s Weekly Web Gems: The Politics of Tech

The Politics of Tech

This week we are back talking about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) again. Now it appears that Microsoft is opposing it, a very good sign. [CNET]

Opposition to the proposal is also gaining international traction. Check out this blog post from Sweden. [.SE]

Just an FYI, back in June the United Nations declared access to the Internet a human right. [The Atlantic]

One last bit on SOPA: Nancy Pelosi and Ron Paul both recently expressed their opposition. [ars technica]

Switching gears now – take a look at Canada’s new $100 bill. Very fancy. [LA Times]

A student at MIT is developing a lie detector to be used for the Internet. Genius. [The Next Web]

A cell phone with a 2.5GHz, quad-core processor?! This could be the HTC Zeta. [engadget]
