Senate hearing on Net Neutality

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation is having a hearing on the Future of the Internet. I am following the proceedings on Twitter.

Edit -
CNet reports on the morning's proceedings. EWeek says that FCC Chair Martin accused Comcast of widespread throttling. IP Democracy has a similar account. Save the Internet focuses on the testimony of representatives of the Writers Guild. Technology Liberation Front dismisses the Writers Guild representatives as celebrities.

Attorney General Gonzales congressional melt down

Potomac Flacks has a good analysis. My favorite part:

When the emails comes out, so will the truth - Once you have to start handing over emails, there is blood in the water.


I also like this comment at Slashdot:

Take the US attorney firing. I'm not a lawyer, but even I know enough never to tell an easily refuted lie when you can get by with a uselessly vague truth. I'd have been saying things like "It was time for new blood." or "David Iglesias did a fine job, but a shakeup will keep everybody on their toes, and Larry Gomez deserves his chance to show us what he can do."


Edit-
Very funny analysis form Colin McEnroe:
Some answers are so bad as to resist analysis. If I ask you what 9 times 7 is and you say "rhubarb," I'm no longer in a position to correct your math.
