Faves for this Web page
"Lakehead University in Canada was one of the first large-scale adopters of Google applications, but a storm has broken out after staff were told not to use it for personal or sensitive information. The problem arises because the information is stored on Google's servers in the US where authorities have the right to read everything Google stores under the Patriot Act."
Ah, the ugly side of cloud computing is emerging. And Google wants to get privacy standards unified? Fat chance, but with all of Google's resources, they should be able to built distributed datacenters in each country... they maybe open it up like Amazon has so ew can all benefit?

"Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to students and faculty of eligible education institutions."
Although Flex 3 is open source, there isn't a decent IDE out there for it apart from Adobe's commercial Flex Builder 3. Luckily, they've made it free for students here - just fill in the form and attach a scanned copy of your student card. Only takes a day or two to get the key. Pretty neat stuff.
