			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Federal Bureau of Investigations does not like the fact that its Wikipedia entry has a high-resolution image of its seal, but Wikipedia says there&#8217;s nothing illegal about posting it online.</p>
<p>The FBI apparently has no big international crime rings or investigations to conduct, because it now has free time to send a letter to Wikipedia that reads, &#8220;The FBI has not authorized use of the FBI seal on Wikipedia. The inclusion of a high quality graphic of the FBI seal on Wikipedia is particularly problematic.&#8221;<br />
<img class="alignright" title="Wikipedia: FBI" src="http://www.tgdaily.com/sites/default/files/stock/450teaser/fbi-wikipedia.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="188" /></p>
<p><span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>The letter, obtained by the New York Times, goes on to say, &#8220;Failure to comply may result in further legal action. We appreciate your timely attention to this matter.&#8221; The FBI references section 701 from the US Code, which prohibits the &#8220;manufacture, sale, or possession of any badge, identification card, or other insignia&#8221; of a government agency.</p>
<p>Wikimedia, the organization that runs the user-driven online encyclopedia, has called the letter and related legal threats completely baseless.</p>
<p>In a stinging response, Wikimedia general counsel Mike Godwin wrote, &#8220;While we appreciate your desire to revise the statute to reflect your expansive vision of it, the fact is that we must work with the actual language of the statute, not the aspirational version of Section 701 that you forwarded to us.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The use of the image on Wikipedia is not for the purpose of deception or falsely to represent anyone as an agent of the federal government,&#8221; he continues. Godwin says Wikimedia is prepared to go to court over this issue.</p>
<p>It is truly ridiculous that the FBI, which stands to gain absolutely nothing from this issue, is wasting its time with this. Hopefully someone in there will realize how pointless this is and just drop it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although likely 39.99999 Gigabits more than she actually needs, Sigbritt Löthberg now has a 40 Gbps internet connection. She’s never owned a computer until now but she did give birth to some famous Swedish internet guy.</p>
<p>How fast is the connection? She can download a full high definition DVD in two seconds. That would take many, many, many seconds (minutes or hours, even) over your typical broadband connection. And get this – her house is over 1200 miles away from the connection’s original source.</p>
<p>According to the technology’s creators, the distance is theoretically unlimited. The data is pumped over fiberoptic lines using a “new modulation technique” and apparently wasn’t all that expensive to deploy.</p>
<p>If it can truly go an unlimited distance from the source without experiencing any loss of transmission speed, might we one day get our internet access from Sweden? I’d sure as hell go for it.</p>
<p>First beautiful women, then Ikea, and now this? Sweden, you’re spoiling us!</p>
