Draft Chapters (with comments, blog style) of Dan Gillmor’s We the Media (Making the News)
Silicon Valley – Dan Gillmor’s eJournal – Making the News: Draft of Chapter 1
I have had this link sitting around for a while now, it is certainly less relevant now that the book is out but I think it is valuable to see how the book progressed. Dan of course must agree, hence the posting of the chapters in the first place and the fact that he has left them up.
Oh yeah, the book has a Creative Commons license (Kenyatta should be glad to note that an audio version is up at Archive.org). In fact the whole thing can be downloaded at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wemedia/book/index.csp and the book website is available online at: http://wethemedia.oreilly.com/.

Wi-Fi Acacia’s next patent target | CNET News.com
Acacia, a representation of all that is wrong with our patent system, having successfully extorted companies using streaming technologies has turned to companies using WiFi, attempting to enforce another patent that they apparently have purchased.
I heard a while ago that they Acacia was short on money. Hopefully a couple of high-profile legal battles will drain them and we can sing good night Acacia, good night (until they sell their patent portfolio to another company willing to sue sue sue).
