Backdoors placed in encryption for government use make all of us less safe. Security holes put in place for legitimate police purposes can be abused by corrupt cops, computer crooks, and oppressive governments. This is settled fact. The fact that the government keeps asserting the contrary is one of the reasons that people don’t trust government... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

The UK makes it legal to make copies of media for personal use, such as backup.
This seems like a huge deal, and a big step in the direction of common sense.
Is it legal in the UK to break DRM for personal use or security research? Can I break the DRM on an Amazon ebook so I can make a backup copy or read it on an ereader other than a Kindle? - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

+Evernote is reportedly announcing a Microsoft Office-killer Thursday. I’ve been less and less satisfied with Evernote over time. It’s become a big, slow program.

Firechat, the mobile messaging app that doesn’t require an Internet connection, is being used by protesters in Hong Kong, Iraq, and Hong Kong.
It was downloaded 100,000 times in Hong Kong over the weekend.
Firechat uses WiFi and Bluetooth to connect with other users. Because it doesn’t require an Internet connection, it circumvents censorship. - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

The Incomparable has great, silly fun talking about ideas for rebooting old TV shows. Josh Hollaway, who played Sawyer on “Lost,” was born to play Jim Rickford. And John Hodgman is certainly a creative choice for Magnum PI.
