Rolling Stone's Archive Going Online
Dude! The icon of the sixties magazines is coming back strong....online. If you are having flash backs and need validation that it all actually took place way back when, check it out. The entire 43 year Rolling Stone history will be available in full print mode online. So is there a touch of mid-life crisis in all of this? A music magazine that planted itself in the countercultural zeitgeist of the 1960s now trying to prove that it\'s still relevant? The first thing a public relations representative pointed out to a visiting reporter recently was that the average age of Rolling Stone\'s readership is 30. It\'s not just old hippies! Comments

School Webcam Snapped 'Partially Undressed' Kid
This gives the term 'Home Schooling' a new kink...as in kinky. The District School System used remote activation reserved for stolen or missing school computers to spy on students. This kind of stuff is scary on any level. The school district explained that Blake Robbins' laptop Webcam was activated because his parents had allegedly not paid the $55 insurance fee. The latest accusations, however, put into ever-sharper focus the very nature and moral and legal probity of remote-controlled Webcams on school-distributed laptops. Comments

"You can really key into who they are," said Don Batsford Jr., who works on online advertising for the tax preparation company Jackson Hewitt, whose coupons include search information.

Norway's Prime Minister Runs Country With iPad
It seems you can run an entire country without having to multi-task. Jens Stoltenberg, the country's prime minister, was stranded Friday with thousands of other fliers at Kennedy Airport by a huge black cloud of volcanic ash that turned the skies over a large swath of Europe into a no-fly zone.

Cyberwar Commander Survives Senate Hearing
While I know this whole cyberwar commander confirmation hearing is no laughing matter, I can't help but look at the guy and think "The internet is serious business." Lieutenant General Keith Alexander has run the National Security Agency for the last five years, and was nominated to simultaneously head the military's newest command wing, the U.S. Cyber Command.
