Big Brother on Amazon
August 6th, 2009
I’m currently in my yearly military reputation course (called WK). So I have a lot of time to read the newspapers. At Thursday the 21 of July there was a nice article in the “Tages Anzeiger”, one of the best newspaper in Switzerland. Amazon has a nice e-book reader called Kindle. The device has a kill switch which allows Amazon to gain full control over the device. Many of the next generation devices have this kind of access port like the iPhone, Vista, Xbox and PS3…
So Amazon sells books without having the digital publishing rights and afterwards uses the kill switch to delete these books from the customer’s Kindle devices and gives their customers the money back. The book that has been deleted was “1984″ from George Orwell. I strongly recommend to read this book for all those who haven’t read it. The story is about a boy who meets a girl in London who is living in a totalitarian society led by the Big Brother. The Big Brother controls the mind of all citizens. To enforce his control the Big Brother deletes books.
Nice Irony I guess
Request for comments
May 12th, 2009
The requests for comments (short RFC) stays for a series of technical and organizational documents of the RFC-Editors for the Internet (originally ARPANET) which was founded on the 7. April 1969. Most of you guys I’m sure know what RFCs are and might have already read of the famous RFCs on the editors page.
But did you know that there is also a set of humoristic RFCs available on the editors page?
