Did Facebook just school the Internet?

Facebook pulled an Apple. Apple releases something, and everyone in their space rushes to do the same thing. But they never realize that it’s a losing position. They’re skating to where the puck has been. Apple skates to where the puck is going to be. Facebook is skating to where the puck is going to be.

MG Siegler's assessment on Techcrunch of the new Facebook is pretty bold, but makes a lot of sense. And the Apple analogy is apt. If only we all knew where the puck was going to be next.

Proof that literally EVERYTHING exists on the Internets.

Some serious butterfly knife skills, there, chief. For those of you dying to know, the song is "Banano" from the album "Smoker's Dubstep 100".

God bless the Internets and their exuberance.

Former CIA Director: Build a New Internet to Improve Cybersecurity

Several current federal officials, including U.S. Cyber Command chief Gen. Keith Alexander, also have floated the concept of a ".secure" network for critical services such as banking that would be walled off from the public Web. Unlike .com, .xxx, and other new domains now proliferating on the Internet, .secure would require visitors to use certified credentials for entry and would do away with users' Fourth Amendment rights to privacy. Network operators in the financial sector, for example, would be authorized to scan account holders' traffic content for signs of trouble. The current Internet setup would remain intact for people who prefer to stay anonymous on the Web.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Makes the Internet work like the real world. When you need security (and you choose it), you get it -- in a much more guaranteed way than you do now.
