- SOPA's author, Rep. Lamar Smith, also authored a bill purportedly tries to stop child porn by requiring ISPs to store 18 months of customers' usage data. It has more co-sponsors than SOPA and is farther along in the legislative process. http://danwin.com/2012/01/the-sopa-debate-and-how-its-affected-by-congresss-understanding-of-child-porn/ 70 comments politics

- Back in the 1960s, General Motors tried to discredit Ralph Nader by having a prostitute solicit him at a grocery store, and then later, trying to prove he was gay. Not that that has anything to do with a certain anti-corporate/military crusader today. http://danwin.com/thoughts/did-wikileaks-julian-assange-get-ralph-nadered-in-swedish-rape-case/ 93 comments politics
- NYPD increased its stop-and-frisks from 100,000 a year to almost 600,000/yr. 44% of the stops were justified because of "furtive movement" 9 out of 10 stops resulted in no accusations. Until last week, even if you were found innocent, your personal info was permanently stored into a police database. http://danwin.com/thoughts/the-nyts-cop-stop-and-frisk-graphic/ 5 comments politics

- NYTimes had a story today about a man who accidentally was able to log into a stranger's American Express account. AmEx said it was b/c they coincidentally had similar account names and passwords. Well, maybe their password space should be bigger than 8 alphanumeric case-insensitive characters. http://danwin.com/thoughts/american-expresss-security-problem-awful-password-system/ 12 comments technology
