From New York Times:

here are about 10 million blogs out there, give or take, including one belonging to Niall Kennedy, an employee at Technorati, a small San Francisco-based company that, yes, tracks blogs.
Like many employees at many companies, Mr. Kennedy has opinions, even when he is not working. One evening last month, he channeled one of those off-duty opinions into a satiric bit of artwork - an appropriation of a “loose lips sink ships” World War II-era propaganda poster altered to provide a harsh comment on the growing fears among corporations over the blogging activities of their employees. He then posted it on his personal Web log.
But in a paradoxical turn, Mr. Kennedy’s employer, having received some complaints about the artwork, stepped in and asked him to reconsider the posting and Mr. Kennedy complied, taking the image down.

From MSNBC:

It happens all the time: You read an entry in an encyclopedia or other reputable source and think, “That’s not right” or “They forgot this!” Microsoft Corp.’s Encarta encyclopedia is testing a system that lets everyone be an editor — in theory at least.
Readers can suggest edits or additions to entries, although the changes are vetted by editors before they reach the page.

From itWorldCanada:

Each computer his company purchases may be as much as $30 more expensive today than they were this time last year, but you won’t hear Darren Ruhr complaining about the premium.
Ruhr, IT director at Precision Drilling Corp., a Calgary-based contract drilling supplier servicing the oil and gas industry, figures it’s money well spent. It’s a government-imposed fee, new this year. The extra money is supposed to support computer recycling efforts in Alberta.
According to the Alberta government, the $30 could go a long way to improving the collection, dismantling and disposal of computer parts in the province — pieces that could release harmful material (mercury, for example) into the environment if handled improperly.
