A Friday tidbit: Suing someone doesn't always reel in the cash. In a suit against Google Street View, the search giant has been found liable for damages as a result of trespassing on private property. Compensation was awarded: Google had to fork over $1 to Aaron and Christine Boring. On with the news:
1. Senator Joseph Lieberman ("Lovely man"!) introduced a new law called Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination designed to prevent WikiLeaks scandals, igniting a debate about censorship and freedom of speech. This won't affect Julian' Assange, but it will add fuel to the media feeding frenzy that is already underway.
2. The EU is thinking of quashing data roaming fees. Quote of the day goes to M.P. Paul Rubig, commenting on earlier legislation to cap the fees: "We should've used gigabytes instead of megabyte." Yes, Paul, the original rules were off by a mere factor of a thousand.
