   If you live in the UK or have any personal or professional interest in the UK internet, I'd encourage you to make a regular donation to the Open Rights Group. They do fantastic work and the money goes a long way.

   The Washington Post blog had an article the day before called "40 maps that explain the world" that has more depth around why the maps are the way they are. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/

   I'm not advocating that people move now. The value of Gmail definitely outweighs current costs for many people so it makes sense to keep using it. But to buy a domain and forward email to a Gmail address does not require a VPS or maint

    Very much agreed. My point is more that the cost to prepare to switch is very low. We have a high degree of certainty that email will be used for the foreseeable future so why not make the addressing movable? How can we make the preparation

    We're currently in the stage of the Internet where we can choose our feudal masters[1]. Want Google? Fine. Prefer Apple. No problem. Microsoft? Why not. For me, the issue is that people are becoming more entrenched as time progresses.

    Interestingly, the link from the BBC News main page under the Most Shared and Most Read tabs has the title as "The light inventor who is poor but proud" which seems far more appropriate than the one on the article.

    This has some interesting legal implications. The UK has a Data Protection Act that requires organisations to register with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) and comply with a number of requirements. Renew London is not registered

    This is somewhat true. RFC3207[1] describes opportunistic TLS encryption for SMTP communications. Our postfix deployment uses this and a fair amount of our email is sent over TLS-encrypted SMTP. Of course, an MITM attack could hide the STAR

    Nice idea as a faster incremental development tool, but not something that one should run in production.

    I would respectfully disagree. One of the ways that I assess whether to use a service is based on its reliability. There is not a great way to look at historical records for when a particular service was down to understand how this might im

    Interesting attack that uses the fact that when duplicate data is present in the returned packets, it will be compressed so will make the packet size smaller. This means that it's possible to quickly converge on secret session tokens.

    This seems to have come out over 2 years ago so the price may be far too high. I do wonder whether it would have been far more successful if they'd created a snazzy Kickstarter video and required people to pre-pay for it.
