Caught in the Network - it begins. A professor receives a visit from security for using TOR. We also have isolated instances of targeting TOR and other systems. Not entirely unimportant given the current paranoia and control freakery of the authorities.

Politicians against Kurnaz's naturalization - the last trash, our politicians. First, they sell a human being, then they don't care what happens to him, and then there are "security concerns" against naturalization. Could someone deport Schönboom and Wiefelspütz? Their reliability and attitude towards the democratic basic order is more than questionable ...
Schäuble: Trojans should also search private diaries - in my opinion, Schäuble's attitude towards the democratic basic order and the constitution is no longer questionable. He has, in my opinion, long since completely left the framework to which he swore an oath of office.
Yahoos kleine Mashup-Revolution - Zombies are just not dead to kill. How often I have seen programming systems that claimed "not to have to be able to program" and instead relied on the much-invoked flowcharts - none of the projects really survived. ProGraph was an early data flow language on the Mac with graphical representation and at least really usable as a complete language - but of course difficult to understand for non-programmers. Novell's AppWare was once again brewed and sold as Mindbrew, but that is also bankrupt. Labview is probably one of the few providers of a comparable solution, which, however, is also used in rather special areas (measurement and control technology, laboratories, etc.), but even there programming knowledge is required. And now all of this as Web 2.0. Cute.
