Major Source of Online Scams and Spams Knocked Offline - Security Fix:
"Two hours later, I heard from Benny Ng, director of marketing for Hurricane Electric, the Fremont, Calif., company that was the other major Internet provider for McColo.Hurricane Electric took a much stronger public stance: 'We shut them down,' Ng said."

Hurricane Electric is a great service provider. Plenty of power. No frills. The dark side I guess is this is a spammer's dream.
What an Obama Presidency Means for Technology — RoughlyDrafted Magazine:
"Rather than answering to big contributors, Obama now faces a different constituency: the people of the United States. The new president will now face an expectation for the same level of support that individuals have come to expect from companies on the web."
(Via Roughly Drafted Magazine.)
One of the sea changes this election made in my view is that Obama showed that technology can be a real democratizer. Accelerating this process will make government more transparent and directly accountable to the people.
