We Own Nothing – The Broken Promise of the Information Age
by
From Animatronic Pumpkin: Remember in the 90s when we thought we were headed for an amazing Information Age? Instead we find the greatest engine of censorship ever invented.

by
In How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, Cory Doctorow asks the question, if Apple is so gosh darn awesome with keeping their software safe, and keeping your hardware safe with their repair facilities…why do they make it so hard for competitors?
