  • The Cairo News Company, which provided satellite services and equipment for Al Jazeera, the BBC and CNN, was raided by police after it transmitted footage of the food riots.
  • But new media applications were changing the rules. This was demonstrated by the arrest of a journalism student from Berkeley named James Karl Buck, who was detained along with his Egyptian interpreter as he photographed a street protest. Buck used the Twitter application on his cell phone to send a snapshot of himself and the text message “arrested” to a list serve of his contacts. His friends used the message to prompt intervention from Berkeley and the U.S. consulate. Buck was soon able to Twitter the word “free,” and mounted an online campaign to release his interpreter.
  • police finally located him and tortured him for his Facebook password and names of the other group members (the vast majority of which he didn’t know).

  • But in the United States, many would-be activists have been frustrated by the gap between an online click and concrete participation. Facebook groups and causes often swell, crest and dissipate without leaving a mark on the outside world. 
  • As of August 5, 2008, Facebook listed 484,137 members in the Egypt Network. The 6 April group was alive and well with 72,274 members (six of them new).
  • There are still important differences in the way content is generated as well. The print tradition of knowledge creation tends to require more research, reflection and refinement in the process of transforming an idea from impulse to public distribution. The online environment encourages instant, reflexive responses. So the Internet as we know it has two powerful functions: as conveyor of its own immediate data, and as an extraordinary portal to traditional repositories of knowledge: the published books, reports, journalism, legal briefs and scholarly articles.
  • The Arab world has had a fundamentally different relationship to print culture, and modern published resources are sorely lacking.

    Proposals to limit anonymous communications on the Internet would violate free speech rights long recognized by the Supreme Court. Anonymous and pseudonymous speech played a vital role in the founding of this country. Thomas Paine's Common Sensewas first released signed, "An Englishman." Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison, Samuel Adams, and others carried out the debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists using pseudonyms. Today, human rights workers in China and many other countries have reforged the link between anonymity and free speech. Given the importance of anonymity as a component of free speech, the cost of banning anonymous Internet speech would be enormous. It makes no sense to treat Internet speech differently from printed leaflets or books.

  • The nature of knowledge cannot survive unchanged within this context of general transformation.
  • Along with the hegemony of computers comes a certain logic, and therefore a certain set of prescriptions determining which statements are accepted as “knowledge” statements.
  • thorough exteriorisation of knowledge with respect to the “knower,”

  • will one day fight for control of information
  • he form of value
  • Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold
  • Wittgenstein, taking up the study of language again from scratch, focuses his attention on the effects of different modes of discourse; he calls the various types of utterances he identifies along the way (a few of which I have listed) language games.
  • especially if it is to undergo an exteriorisation with respect to the “knower” and an alienation from its user even greater than has previously been the case
  • revealing that knowledge and power are simply two sides of the same question: who decides what knowledge is, and who knows what needs to be decided? In the computer age, the question of knowledge is now more than ever a question of government.
  • New legal issues will be raised, and with them the question: “who will know?”
  • the observable social bond is composed of language “moves.”
  • One can decide that the principal role of knowledge is as an indispensable element in the functioning of society, and act in accordance with that decision, only if one has already decided that society is a giant machine.
  • For brevity’s sake, suffice it to say that functions of regulation, and therefore of reproduction, are being and will be further withdrawn from administrators and entrusted to machines. Increasingly, the central question is becoming who will have access to the information these machines must have in storage to guarantee that the right decisions are made. Access to data is, and will continue to be, the prerogative of experts of all stripes. The ruling class is and will continue to be the class of decision makers. Even now it is no longer composed of the traditional political class, but of a composite layer of corporate leaders, high-level administrators, and the heads of the major professional, labor, political, and religious organisations.
  • This breaking up of the grand Narratives (discussed below, sections 9 and 10) leads to what some authors analyse in terms of the dissolution of the social bond and the disintegration of social aggregates into a mass of individual atoms thrown into the absurdity of Brownian motion.
  • It would be superficial to reduce its significance to the traditional alternative between manipulatory speech and the unilateral transmission of messages on the one hand, and free expression and dialogue on the other.
  • What is needed if we are to understand social relations in this manner, on whatever scale we choose, is not only a theory of communication, but a theory of games which accepts agonistics as a founding principle.
  • Rather, the limits are themselves the stakes and provisional results of language strategies, within the institution and without.
  • This, I think, is the appropriate approach to contemporary institutions of knowledge.

  •  Really. Fighting Anonymous is like fighting an omnicent and invisible monster. You don't know who they are, where they are, and you can never hurt them. Not enough of them to make a difference anyway. People always go around arguing about whether Anonymous is good or evil, but the answer is NEITHER. Anonymous is a force of chaos. They love overturning order, because they think it's funny. This makes the order people pretty nervious.
  • Whoa... anon posts are enabled for a bill against anon blogs? How interesting!

  • NeoMedia Technologies patented the technology behind camera phone barcode scanning a decade ago and they are in current litigation with ScanBuy, who saw their copyright infringement charges against NeoMedia dissmissed last year. Currently NeoMedia's Patent Infringement counter-suit against ScanBuy remains pending and will undoubtably be upheld later this year. NeoMedia has thus far won copyright infringement cases brought against Virgin Entertainment, LScan, and AirClick.

    Purchase Yelp Reviews at the Lowest Price If you want to buy Yelp reviews, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's important to know that the best way to get the lowest price for your product or service is by buying from a trusted provider like us. We only offer real reviews from real customers who have purchased our services and can testify about what we offer. Second, if you're looking for high quality products or services at an affordable price then look no further than this website because we pride ourselves on delivering quality products or services with best customer service standards in the market today! Thirdly, fast delivery! You will receive your order within 24 hours after placing it online (if not earlier). What is Yelp and Why Are Yelp Reviews Important? Yelp is a social networking site for local businesses. The goal of Yelp is to help consumers find the best local businesses, but it also helps business owners understand what their customers think of them. If you're looking to use Yelp reviews in your marketing strategy, here are some tips: Make sure that your listing has at least 5 stars (5 stars = excellent) and 4 or more comments from real customers. This will increase the likelihood that other people will be able to see it and read about what others think about your business. Include photos and detailed information about each aspect of your product or service so people can easily get an idea of what they're getting before buying anything online through other websites like Amazon Prime where there's no guarantee that everything was done right unless someone has already tried out different products themselves first hand before making any final decisions on whether they want something specific enough based solely off pictures alone without having any firsthand experience first hand either way (i'm speaking purely hypothetically here). Is it safe to buy Yelp reviews? The answer is yes. You can buy Yelp reviews safely and legall
