    We object to the Government’s plan to censor the internet for a variety of reasons – it won’t help parents, it won’t help police, it’s secretive, it costs a lot of money. Perhaps these points are debatable, but one isn’t – experts agree, anybody who wants to will be able to get around the censorwall, easily, on day one.

    Here is a demonstration of how ridiculously easy it will be. In two minutes, I demonstrate not just how to get around the filter, but 5 different ways to get around it.

    The first is to use the Google cache – Google’s stored copy of the page. Google  has proved a nuisance to would-be censors everywhere, and the cache is one reason why. Using a VPN and a proxy get a mention. The remaining two are so trivially simple they may surprise you.

    Will the ease of getting around the filter cause an arms race, with the Government tightening the law every further? We hope not. But one reason to worry about the filter, even if ineffective, is certainly that its very uselessness might lead to calls for more restrictive censorship.

    Want to show your support for an open Internet?  Here’s how

      Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

      Estuve leyendo el blog y me parece util y de gran interes. Por mi parte, me gustaría invitaros a conocer el camino inquivoco hacia la libertad del trading, la forma que a mi me llevo a salir de pobre, la inversion en divisas. Os invito a tomar tres minutos de tiempo para conocer el negocio de las divisas, al alcance para cualquiera desde casa..
