Interviewing Chomsky

"This is a novel event in world history, not because of the scale of the atrocity, but because of the target"

Conex�o Israel?

David Stern, an expert on Israeli intelligence operations (like Mossad) has claimed that this attack was too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute. Stern was basing his claim on a US military source that has revealed details of an internal memo that point to the Israeli Mossad intelligence having links to the terror attack on America.

Anti-globalists search soul after US attack

Following the attacks, a chilling slogan was sprayed on the walls of a Genoa building, flanked by a red star, the signature of extreme anti-globalisation groups.
It read: "Fly Osama Airlines".

jamjams00 writes "Fashion as a whole, seems to rely on brands for the success of a firms product. This is particularly evident through the marketing devices used to promote clothing and footwear, including television adverts which predominanty sell us a lifestyle asociated with their product. However, more and more fashion as a whole is drifting into a 'logoless' utopia, as more brands are opting to focus on understated designs where the product is the focus of attention. Take Prada, Gucci, Donna Karan, Yves Saint Laurent, and even Tommy Hilfiger (who are renowned for their in-your-face advertising) for example. You would be hard pushed to find even a discreet logo the size of a fingernail on this seasons collections. Does this mean an end to our obsession with becoming walking taking mini billboards?"

Carnivore

Como se n�o bastasse o Echelon, agora tem mais essa. Carnivore (nome sugestivo, hein?): Segundo a Wired, "The FBI's controversial Carnivore spy system, which has been renamed DCS1000, is a specially configured Windows computer designed to sit on an Internet provider's network and monitor electronic communications. To retrieve the stored data, an agent stops by to pick up a removable hard drive with the information that the Carnivore system was configured to record."

A Plastic tamb�m est� falando sobre o Carnivore.

Alfarr�bio

Eu sei que todos j� falamos muito sobre o 11S, mas vale a pena dar uma lida no Alfarr�bio do Paulo Bicarato

"(...)Al�m de todas as an�lises de especialistas que tomaram conta de todos os tipos de meios de comunica��o, um aspecto ganhou corpo ap�s a trag�dia: talvez pela primeira vez na hist�ria tantos an�nimos puderam expor suas opini�es. Inevitavelmente, as discuss�es ganharam as ruas e os balc�es dos bares e, na internet, n�o houve uma s� pessoa que estivesse conectada que n�o tenha expressado sua opini�o. Diferentemente das discuss�es 'dom�sticas', no entanto, os coment�rios dos internautas atingiram, e atingem, um n�mero muit�ssimo maior de leitores.(...)"

Algu�m sabe quem foi o g�nio que escreveu isso? um pouco de shameless self-promotion n�o faz mal a ningu�m

N�o restam d�vidas de que o mundo est� mudando. Todas as �reas do conhecimento est�o passando ou prestes a passar por transforma��es sem precedentes. E talvez a grande quest�o n�o seja mais "onde vamos parar", mas "por onde vamos passar". Porque parar soa algo anacr�nico, talvez algo caracter�stico dos mil�nios que precederam nossa �poca. E esse come�o de terceiro mil�nio mostra uma valoriza��o do ser humano enquanto agente ativo do processo cultural. As diferentes opini�es sobre qualquer assunto passam a ser vistos como est�mulo a um di�logo que aponta para o desenvolvimento da cultura em geral. Sem uma fonte centralizadora, como foram os modelos de comunica��o, informa��o e educa��o t�picos do s�culo XX.

11S

Marcelo Estraviz, do Tipuri: "11S ser� marcado como o dia estaca zero. Onde, ou tudo se transforma em espet�culo midi�tico ("o" espet�culo), ou ent�o, e preferencialmente, as vidas passam a ser consideradas como o real valor. O dia que a economia humanizou-se. O dia que caiu a ficha. E o WTC." Leiam o artigo no Nova-E.
