Dear YTL WiMAX, I am writing this to clarify my blog post that was written on 26 July 2010 with the title "YTL WiMAX to offer Android devices, launch might delay till next year". The reason I wrote that article is simply because I was so excited to find out that you are working on Android devices, and to be specific, its WiMAX Android devices. Something that I find very interesting since these are true mobile internet devices without mobile voice services.

Reviewers in the mainstream media have been really kind to "The Fever," for which I'm tremendously grateful, as their comments are getting the book out into the world. But I've awaited reviews from scientific journals with the most trepidation. Not only because the scientific community is notorious for its harsh judgments--scientists rarely give unreserved approval, especially when called upon to critique--but because I really wanted to get the science of malariology right in the book.

Australia's path to Internet filtration has become darker even after the new Prime Minister has taken office. After replacing the previous and unpopular head of Australia, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, the new PM, has a lot on her plate right now. Besides the challenges of being the first female PM in Australia's history, and the fact that the religious right is on the attack after she openly expressed her atheism, the debate on Australian Internet filtration seems to get only more complex each day, and she is providing no new hope for Internet rights activists, and freedom watchdogs.

My location might be France, or Denmark or somewhere else, but when I'm searching for something the language I require most of the time is English. That's my mental location. So it drives me nuts that Google sends me to http://google.fr, even when I log into iGoogle and get my personalized Google index page.

On average, Americans who work in the private sector are struggling financially. Millions are unemployed and the rest may be looking at an additional decade of toil before they can retire (since their houses and 401ks are worth so much less). Should we feel sorry for these folks in the same way that we might feel sympathy for Zimbabweans or other victims of an incompetent government?

Given the outcry (is that too strong a word? I dunno) about the new D&D Essentials line and the ongoing changes to the system made by the Errata and Updates, my question is a simple one: Should Wizards of The Coast introduce public playtesting for key changes to D&D before making them official?

Whenever we take a road trip, we make sure that an FM radio transmitter is in our vehicle. Shuffling around CDs is an outdated form of listening to music quickly on the way to joining cassettes and 8-tracks. Almost every music connoisseur that walks the planet owns an MP3 player whether its a pocket-sized device like an iPod, a mobile computer, a smartphone, or a media center. Not every car has an auxiliary port. This is where the FM radio transmitter bridges today's electronics with the tried and true functionality of a car stereo system.

What if you could own your internet connection? It may sound strange, and it's certainly not what we're used to. Today we have a "carrier-centered" model; phone and cable companies spend billions to build, operate, and own the "last-mile" connection — the copper, cable, or fiber wires that come into your house. Individual consumers then pay for particular services, like phone service or Internet access. In turn, we tend to think about broadband deployment in carrier-centric ways.

This is a huge turning point. Jim Griffin has been telling everyone to "monetize the anarchy" for essentially the entire decade. This solution was on the table dating back to Napster.

Jailed for over 25 years in apartheid South Africa, Mandela celebrates his 92nd birthday. To be honest, I do not remember hearing anything about him until my early teen years when this song came out. Mandela's release from prison, the changes in South Africa, and his election to the government all seemed too good to be true.
