Julian Assange would make a great Doctor Who villain.

Am I the only one who thought Blake's 7 when I read "Liberator"? Now *that* would be a cool thing to get 3D-printed.

I would be surprised if it was Twitter's intention to block links being included in private DMs to sites which weren't in the holy trinity of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram.

Like you said, it would rather be admitting defeat and something of a sledgehammer to crack the "acai berry diet" nut. And isn't Twitter largely all about about sharing links to interesting sites and news anyway?

Unless we see an official announcement about this, I think I would assume that it's a flaw in their message filtering system.

I agree with you on the DM thing - although enabling the option of allowing strangers to DM you might be attractive to support teams and corporate brands, I can only imagine it will open the spam floodgates for regular users.

"NASA might be picked on simply because it represents low-hanging fruit."

Sounds to me more like they can't tell the difference between the NSA and NASA.

Which means that the Nantucket Shellfish Association and all Non-Smoking Areas should now go on high alert.

Thanks Duck. I ended up downloading the combo-update. Peculiar that "Software Update" never seemed to register there was an update available...

Is Apple staggering the roll out of this security update via Software Update?

It's still not available on my Macs here in UK, and I've seen other users online asking the same question.

Last month, Gawker popped up an "error 451" for UK readers after they published something rather scandalous about Rebekah Brooks and the Murdoch family that possibly could get them in legal trouble.

:)

There are others of course. Perhaps the most well known is Hushmail.

Others include Switzerland-based MyKolab, Neomailbox (also in Switzerland), Countermail (Sweden, which allows you to buy an account with Bitcoin), etc.

Of course, look at using PGP or GnuPG locally if the message is going to travel outside of their servers.

Note - I haven't used all these services, and am not endorsing any of them.

If Google is guilty of using automated systems to scan email, then which are the popular webmail systems that are innocent?

Surely all the big names are scanning the emails passing through their systems for spam, phishing, malware...

And some, like Yahoo (which never seems to get as hard a time about this) and Google, are scanning to offer context-sensitive advertising too.

I can't remember, because it's been so long since I created a Google account, how visibly they warned me of what they were planning to do with any email I received, but my advice to users is... if you don't like it, stop using webmail and start encrypting your email.

I'm very disappointed to see that Naked Security isn't hip enough to realise that "Jay-Z" now prefers to be called "Jay Z".
