		<title>Deep Packet Inspection and Mobile Discrimination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If last year was the year of wireline network management/neutrality in Canada, we might get lucky and see this one as the transition year that leads to a public discussion about Canadian telecommunications companies' wireless network management/neutrality practices, with discrimination as the focal topic.

IPv6 could be a threat to privacy is the security and marketing lobbies have their way. This post outlines the tech, the threat, and the solution.

		<title>Applecare and the Time Capsule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple support was fast to respond once they realized I was covered under the Apple warranty, but it took some doing in 2/3 cases to get them to help me under that warranty. In those 2/3 cases, I was told upfront that I needed to just purchase a new device, or the Applecare extension on my Macbook Pro to get the Time Capsule serviced. I don't think that this was an attempt at an 'upsell', but that the service staff weren't trained in this element of the Applecare warranty. I wasn't disappointed by the actual service I ultimately received, but would advice owners of Macs to read their warranty's before going in to get devices repaired: it could save you a lot of money in unncessary product and warranty purchases.

Like most people who are active online, I read a lot off the web, and there isn&#8217;t any way for me to analyze and critique much of what I&#8217;m reading on this site; I touch on items here and there, but I can&#8217;t be systematic on many topics. For some time I&#8217;ve used delicious to [...]

Badly formed privacy complaints aren't just ineffective: they risk jeopardizing privacy principles, which include anonymity in public spaces.
