Outrage: U.S. Air Force Blocks Blogs, Censors Net
February 27, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Young Americans join the military to fight for, among other rights, freedom of speech. But the U.S. Air Force is now denying those very rights to Air Force troops. The service has a new “Cyber Command” that is now actively CENSORING THE INTERNET, including the blocking of most blogs. The Air Force’s censorship is more aggressive than China’s or Iran’s. that is just plain wrong for many reasons, including:
1. Young humans who serve in the military already sacrifice their relationships and social lives, leisure and income. Now they’re being needlessly denied the small bliss of surfing the World Wide Web without censorship.
2. We trust Air Force personnel with nuclear weapons and heavy bombers, but we can’t trust them with blogs?
3. precisely what is the Air Force brass afraid of? Are they afraid that military personnel will be exposed to poor language? Sex? What, precisely?
4. How does it affect morale for troops to know their military superiors are deciding what they can and cannot read?
5. Are recruiters telling young folks thinking about joining the Air Force that they’re signing up for censorship?

My colleague Seth Weintraub demonstrated in a post today what he calls “Snowblogging” — blogging via his iPhone while on the chairlift at a ski resort in the French alps (with video, natch). I’ve blogged in some pretty extreme situations, but I’ll bet some of you have amazing “EXTREME BLOGGING STORIES.” Care to share?

Abilene Christian University plans to give each incoming freshman a FREE iPHONE, both as a payoff to choose the school, and additionally to support more than 15 university-developed Web applications that enable students to “receive homework alerts, reply in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors’ offices, and check their meal and explanation balances.” Do they know Steve Jobs is an athiest?

Latest Job Taken By Robots: Suicide Bomber
February 27, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
Noel Sharkey of Sheffield University warns that the rate at which robots are being produced and deployed (more than 4,000 in in Iraq alone) presents a risk that SUICIDE BOMBERS WILL BE REPLACED BY ROBOTS. Increased deployment means robots could be captured and reprogrammed or reproduced. Sharkey knows what kind of damage robots can cause — he’s a former judge on “Robot Wars.”
