The Washington Post waxes poetic about the pure, lower-case-d democratic nature of the September 11 Commission.
The New York Review of Books slams the President’s space initiative, on several disparate grounds.
This InvisiBlogger has been on a tear lately, what with a two-part series on how Trusted Computing can be beneficial beyond just punitive DRM (part 1, part 2); how the recent combination of RSS and BitTorrent is a start, but still kinda misses the boat; and how the EFF‘s proposed Voluntary Collective Licensing for file-sharers is hopelessly optimistic.
