Baby's First Internet
<a href="http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/galleries/babys_first_internet/">Baby's first internet</a> comes amidst other, less illustrated, <a href="http://www.bigcontrarian.com/2008/07/21/tacky/">concerns</a> about the all-consuming 'blogosphere' and increasingly online life. The problems, it seems, are somewhat <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/20/magazine/20wwln-medium-t.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&ref=magazine&pagewanted=all">novel</a> and (one assumes) <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/">almost endless</a>.

Lost Souls
According to a new report, children in Sweden are becoming increasingly concerned by their parents' internet habits. <em><a href="http://www.thelocal.se/12640.html">"This summer she has been sitting up all day and all night and she forgets what's important to me. And when she's not at the computer she's like a lost soul. She just looks straight ahead and says nothing. I'm not doing so well."</a> </em>Dr Jerald Block from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland is pushing for <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/112374.php">internet addiction</a> (and its three subtypes: excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations and e-mail/text messaging) to be included as a common disorder in the next update of the DSM (<a href="http://www.psych.org/dsmv.asp">DSM-V</a>). <em><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2152972/Internet-addiction-is-a-'clinical-disorder'.html">"The relationship is with the computer.

Suspension de labonnement internet
<a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20080618-france-try-web-subscription-suspension-against-piracy-internet">"There is no reason that the Internet should be lawless,"</a> President Nicolas Sarkozy told his cabinet, as <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/acteurs/biographie_5/christine_albanel_ministre_culture_56390.html">Culture Minister Christine Albanel </a>presented <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/chantiers/culture_851/lutter_telechargement_illegal_oeuvres_1072/christine_albanel_presente_projet_60336.html">a new bill </a>designed to encourage responsible use of the Internet. The legislation would set up a new administrative body that would receive complaints from the music and film industry and track down offenders through Internet service providers. An e-mail warning would be sent to suspected downloaders followed by a registered letter. After two strikes, offenders would risk losing their Internet subscription for up to a year. "We know that we are not going to eradicate piracy 100 percent, but we think that we can reduce it significantly," Albanel told a news conference. Minister of Culture and Communication, Christine Albanel, has made <a href="http://www.ifacca.org/national_agency_news/2008/05/26/albanel-celebrates-french-spirit-responsibility/">the French spirit of responsibility</a> a cornerstone of her portfolio. The new bill follows agreements signed on the 23 November 2007 at the Elys&#0233;e Palace, in the presence of the President of the Republic,<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> by 47 businesses and organisations representing cinema, music and television, and also by all the Internet service providers, </a>who the Minister has compelled to fulfil the agreement. Firstly, the Minister<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> revealed </a>that 74% of French people are in favour of the mechanism of the bill, which would, in the first instance, consist of sending numerous educational advertisement messages to Internet users who use their Internet connection to pirate works. Then, in the case of this behaviour being repeated, the temporary suspension of Internet access. The Minister also revealed that the projected mechanism will be useful from the preventative phase, since 90% of French people would stop downloading after two advertisements. This study also shows the adherence of the majority of French people to the defence of the right of the author, without which ‘creation’ would have its existence threatened, against those who support openly the law of the jungle and permissiveness on the Internet.

Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.
<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/publications/2008/Mapping_Irans_Online_Public">Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.</a> From the abstract: <blockquote>We used computational social network mapping in combination with human and automated content analysis to analyze the Iranian blogosphere. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that Iranian bloggers are mainly young democrats critical of the regime, we found a wide range of opinions representing religious conservative points of view as well as secular and reform-minded ones, and topics ranging from politics and human rights to poetry, religion, and pop culture. Our research indicates that the Persian blogosphere is indeed a large discussion space of approximately 60,000 routinely updated blogs featuring a rich and varied mix of bloggers. Social network analysis reveals the Iranian blogosphere to be dominated by four major network formations, or poles, with identifiable sub-clusters of bloggers within those poles. We label the poles as 1) Secular/Reformist, 2) Conservative/Religious, 3) Persian Poetry and Literature, and 4) Mixed Networks.</blockquote>

How Do Those No Fax Payday Loans Work?
By George Hubka
The traditional forms of payday loans involve those small walk-in offices that you find in strip malls or smaller plazas; often they are not the friendliest looking place. They provide small term loans of a few hundred to possibly one thousand dollars. Typically they are for just a couple weeks or a month and coincide with your next payday, hence the name payday loans. You have to walk in, fill out some papers, they run a couple computer queries, you write a check that matches you next payday and eventually you get to walk out with a few hundred dollars. You end up wasting a lot of time just trying to get the little money you need. The modern is challenging this traditional form of payday loan.

At first the forms of payday loans required you to fax in your ID, pay stubs, and possibly a number of other paper forms. Again this took time and money. How many people have a fax machine at home? You might as well just go to the payday office…
