U.S.: Wikileaks.org becomes too hot to handle after cyberattacks

  • crazy Days after Amazon shut down its access to Wikileaks, they came under an attack so strong that their domain name distributor, EveryDNS, had to rescind their ownership of Wikileaks.org. WTF?
  • crazier As of right now, the very controversial site remains up at wikileaks.ch, but it only forwards to an IP address. Wonder who wants to force them offline? The U.S.? Nah, that simply couldn’t be. source

Tech: We’re following Topeka’s lead, changing our name to Google

  • We’ve thought long and hard about it these last fifteen minutes. Dear Google, we want on the fast broadband gravy train just like Topeka, and we feel that we have a surefire way to ensure that we get on said gravy train. That’s right. We’re changing our name to Google. ShortFormBlog had a good run these last fourteen months, but we all know that you can’t take anything to chance when fast internet is on the line. We’re still working out the details of transferring the domain name over from the old owner (they won’t sell, but we hope we can get them to budge), but let us from now on be known as Google. Unofficially.
