There is a new security update for Word Press 2.0 and 2.1.3 and you should download it as soon as you can. It will fix problems that hackers have been trying to use to get I to word press blogs.
There are many people that argue that the pay days are coming to the Internet that the free interne is over. I do not know about that I have not seen any rise on paid content but maybe its because I am not living in USA.
I think before people will start paying for the sites we need an world wide payment system that is easy to use and open for everyone. But we all know that not going to happened because “they†will stop it claiming it can be used for terrorists.
One site where you never need a credit card or other payment system is a new dating site called Just Say hi. This internet dating site apparently works against the trend since it is totally free and never going to ask for payment.
Governments are all the time trying to block website and in the same time your freedom. If you are a website owner and have the host or domain name in the same country they can easily shut you down and if not they will block your IP or domain name.
If you are a surfer and visiting this blocked site government can monitor your habits and they will also find out where you live and work.
Some government like the Thai and Turkish government has in recent month taking this to extreme by blocking Youtube.com owned by Google.
Youtube.com and other blocked sites that is outside the governments reach can easily be viewed by a proxy but governments can then block the proxy sites they see visiting this site from within for example Thailand.
The government can as America and EU now does save all email and surf you do on big super computer for 10-15 years and they can later use it to track you or anyone else down or find information about you. Think about the next time you write something “private
in your email.
So how can you trick the governments, the easiest way is to use internet café or something like that. Then they can never track you down to that computer but if you have a computer at home you can use a Swedish program called Relakks. It will encrypt all your programs and surfing in 128 encryption and give you a totally different IP address then the one your are using now. Even p2p traffic and other programs will be protected by this system.
