    Great discussion hosted by Charlie Rose (so professional) featuring friend and former co-worker Nico Pitney (blogger extraordinaire), Facebook friend and Chief Privacy Officer Chris Kelly (kelly2010.com), and one of my nerd-crushes Jonathan Zittrain (intellectual giant).

    \x0a
    A Nevada newspaper says it has been served a federal grand jury subpoena seeking information about readers who posted comments on the paper’s Web site.
    \x0a

    Thinking out loud… Newspapers can have anonymous sources, but you cannot comment on those anonymous sources anonymously?

    \x0a
    The comments are written under pseudonyms. Along with the real names of people who posted comments, the subpoena asks the newspaper for the writers’ gender, birth date, physical address, telephone number, Internet service provider, IP address and credit card numbers.

    Mr. Holt added that few lawmakers could challenge the agency’s statements because so few understood the technical complexities of its surveillance operations.

    This needs to change.

    Janko Nilovic: Space From Psyc’ Impressions (Montparnasse, 1970)

    \x0a

    The sample off of Jay-Z’s “The Death of Auto-Tune” on Blueprint 3 (via Soul Sides).

    \x0a

    I thought it was a Kanye beat first time I heard it (despite the No I.D. namecheck), as it seems pretty derivative of “The Takeover”. Which is all to say, it’s fire.

    \x0a

    The original though- the sample- it is the soundtrack to the slow-motion montage of this summer afternoon.
