Here are links I found interesting on July 29, 2010:

  • Redefining Empathy In Light Of Web’s Long Memory – "In an era when 75% of employers research applicants online, erasing youthful indiscretions is next to impossible. Jeffrey Rosen accepts that parts of private lives become public on the Internet, but hopes that it will lead us to be more forgiving of one another's missteps." Read more on NPR.org.
  • Oversight Of Immigration At Heart Of Arizona Ruling – "Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says her state will ask the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday to let all of its controversial immigration law take effect, a day after a federal judge in Phoenix blocked key parts of the measure." Who is going to pay for this legal battle? Arizonans? American citizens? I'm a member of both groups and I'm sick of throwing away my tax dollars on political posturing. Read more about the ruling on NPR.
  • 100 million Facebook users’ details published online – " The personal details of 100 million Facebook users have been collected and published online in a downloadable file, meaning they will now be unable to make their publicly available information private." This is just the kind of thing that should teach people to keep their private info OFF social networking systems. As for the guy who made this available to the world, I think he should be sued from here to Pluto. On MSNBC.com.
