Dave sez, “Spotted this Google-themed sari in a fancy shopping mall in Gurgaon, India (the tech hub south of Delhi). I couldn’t get the backstory because (proving that India is nearing Western standards in every way!) a guard started rushing over to bust me for taking pictures.”

After the brilliant Radiohead move, the Nine Inch Nails are following suite with their latest album “Ghosts.”
In March, the Nine Inch Nails released their album ‘Ghosts’ under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, meaning that it can be shared freely. The band confirmed that they had uploaded the album themselves to sites like The Pirate Bay, Waffles.fm and What.cd.
Even better yet, thanks to the Nine Inch Nails, the free music vibe is going to get a fresh boost today. A brand new track from the band entitled “Echoplex”, is now available for free download on Facebook. Yes, Facebook.
If that’s not cool…

Microsoft walked away from a bid to acquire Yahoo when its increased, $45-plus billion offer was rebuffed by the pioneering Internet company as not enough by half.
The surprise Saturday announcement came after a week of tense negotiations and about three months after Microsoft informed Yahoo that it intended to buy it, the better to compete with internet ad behemoth Google.
“Despite our best efforts, including raising our bid by roughly $5 billion, Yahoo! has not moved toward accepting our offer. After careful consideration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo! do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,” said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft in a prepared statement.

Apparently though, this is not the last we will here about this deal.

According to the OpenNet Initiative:
“Access to Internet content in Jordan remains largely unfettered, with filtering selectively applied to only a small number of sites. However, media laws and regulations encourage some measure of self-censorship in cyberspace, and citizens have reportedly been questioned and arrested for Web content they have authored.”
The report also says that there isn’t much transparency. Personally, I think that there is a lot less internet freedom these days than when there was 5 years ago in Jordan. To me, it is not just the official channels though, it’s also society at large, which most Western-based reports do not take into consideration.
It’s an interesting report, although it seems to be slightly outdated when it comes to dates and figures, and you can read it all here.
