Tech News Round-up

James Robertson

Since I don't have much time these days to craft an eloquent treatise on the merits and perils of technology, you get links!  Here are some of the recent tech news that could have an impact on your life.

• Drupal Tuesday, a few days late: ProsePoint.  It's a Drupal package I'm playing with for a professor to run on for her High School Workshop.
• Time Warner cable decides to "uncap the tubes" of the Internet after establishing a trial of bandwidth caps in certain areas.
• Just in case you're not sick of hearing about pirates, the verdict came down on the Pirate Bay trial in Sweden.  These were intellectual property-pirates, rather than ship-pirates, but still.  It was a case similar to the Napster case of old, with similar results.
• A neat travel piece on Silicon Valley in the New York Times.  Thanks to Meera for pointing it out to me through Facebook.  One more reason I want to go to San Fransisco on my honeymoon.
• An interesting discussion about robots in the military.

Hope you enjoy the reading material, and I hope to be back next week with one of the last Drupal Tuesdays of the year.
