We all have goals to meet in order to consider myself successful. Today we were sent a link to a video about a guy with no house, no car, with two small bags of belongings and being made to move around a lot. Our automatic response is to think that this poor fellow was down […]
Whilst the internet goes mad about the arrest of Megaupload founders, and the extradition of TVShack’s owner to the US for trial, one point left us wondering about the freedom of the internet.
