Anger about new Flickr filters - "If you use a Yahoo ID from Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea, you cannot turn off the safe search due to local business conditions.

Yahoo shareholders reject human rights proposals - "The shareholders of the internet service provider Yahoo have followed the board's recommendations and rejected two proposals at their annual general meeting (PDF file) that were intended to push the company towards greater human rights engagement. The proposals, supported by Amnesty International, demanded, on the one hand, resistance against censorship efforts in countries like China and, on the other hand, the establishment of a company-internal committee for human rights." - it's all about money, not about rights or the consequences of one's own greed. They just sell out dissidents to the governments of the countries where they smell big money. Doesn't matter, they're not shareholders.
ZFS is in MacOS X 10.5 - Golem.de - "ZFS is only equipped with read support and can only be used via the command line - integrated ZFS partitions cannot be written with Apple's operating system." - damn. That's useless.
