The Morning Reboot:
- Proving that social media is more than just a marketing word, Senator Hillary Clinton has turned to Yahoo Answers for some ideas on how normal Americans would improve health care in the United States. In the two days since Clinton posted her question nearly, 35,000 responses have been offered up.
- In a move that takes hypocrisy to astounding new levels, North Korea says that South Korea's ban of 30 pro-North websites violates “freedom.” We at Monkey Bites abhor all forms of censorship, but this is a bit like black calling itself a kettle. Or words to that effect.
- IBM will donate its new “Identity Mixer” software to the Higgins open-source project. The software is designed to let people keep personal information secret when performing online business transactions. Anthony Nadalin, IBM's chief security architect tells Cnet, “the idea is that people provide encrypted digital credentials issued by trusted parties like a bank or government agency when transacting online, instead of sharing credit card or other details in plain text.”
- Pain in the Tech has a post on how you can store your iTunes library using Amazon's S3 service and access it from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Yesterday in pointing out a Gadget Lab post on the possibility of new DeLoreans I made a joke about Flux Capacitors. Well it turns out someone at DeLorean has a sense of humor — you can order one from the Delorean parts store. Just follow that link and search for “flux.”
