Refreshing, and more please: Emma Thompson's comments on lemmings, root canals and social media.
See over at NBC's TODAY Entertainment the short article "Emma Thompson blasts social media: 'I'd rather have root canal treatment' than join." Emma Thompson is smart, one the world's best actors and one of its most authentic human beings. Later we'll write more about her remarks--which appear in Thompson's recent Vanity Fair interview. Do note for now that the NBC item (just the print part) covering that interview has an astonished and slightly smug tone. Anyway, here's the accompanying video, which is free of small-mindedness.

Read Jeffrey Carr's analysis of DOJ's China cyber-spying indictment.
Three days ago, the U.S. Department of Justice announced its indictment of five Chinese military officers for cyberespionage and theft of trade secrets from six American companies. Yesterday, Jeffrey Carr, a well-known cybersecurity consultant based in Seattle, posted a company-by-company "Analysis of the Victim Companies in the PLA Indictment" at his blog Digital Dao. While we don't agree with every point Carr makes, his assessment (read: dissection) of the charges is compelling. Chinese cyberespionage, moreover, is big part of Carr's expertise. The writing is knowledgeable, smart, forceful. If you do IP, Internet law or international law, do read Carr's post.
