*** French DRM Law Gets Ugly - Protest May 7/2PM Place De La bastille
<http://www.boingboing.net/2006/04/28/french_drm_law_gets_.html>
Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

A French proposal to change the way DRM is protected under law has been hijacked by entertainment companies and DRM vendors, and now promises to be one of the worst DRM laws in the world... "There's bad news for a revolutionary proposal (Article 7) that requires DRM makers to allow anyone to build interoperable technology. This was strenuously objected to by Apple and the US department of Commerce but it was unanimously voted in at the last moment during the first meeting. Now it stands to be completely neutered."

Ling How Doong and Chee Soon Juan, Singapore Election Watch

The reports about Mr Ling How Doong saying that Dr Chee Soon Juan should be sacked as Secretary-General of the SDP is completely untrue.

*** First World?

A sense of superiority is something that I'm sure the PAP identifies with quite easily, but I'm kinda disappointed that some opposition candidates have also fallen into using the same language in response, instead of critiquing it.
