Thoughts on the social impacts of information and communication technology policy.
Apple Banning iPhone Hackers from iTunes? | TiPb.

John doesn't update his blog often, and many of the thoughts are probably half-baked. While the web has sort of an eternal memory, the current and future reader is urged not to take all of this too seriously.
Think of this blog as "John thinking out loud."
