Nokia N73, it's good.

I just got my Nokia N73, it’s pretty damn sweet. It’s the one with a 3.2Mp camera and uploads directly to flickr.

It’s also neat that the new Nokia brower uses WebKit. Kinda weird too.

Too bad it doesn’t really render this page correctly, you can only see half the page. I guess it’s CSS suppor isn’t super hot. Or my CSS is really broken. Probably that.

The Politics of Piracy in Sweden

We all know the situation with copyright law world wide is fucked. And we know about The Pirate Bay being shut down temproarily due to pressure from the US government. Well, it looks like they fucked up pretty bad on that one, but then, what has they done right lately?

While I normally think Dvorak is an ass who just says stupid shit to get people pissed off so they will pay attention to him, I think he’s right on this one.

He writes about the explosive growth of The Pirate Party in Sweden and how they just might be in a possition of real power after the next election. Multiparty political systems make for some very interesting times when coaltion governments must be formed.

I’m happy to see this kind of ham fisted authoritarian governing start the avalance they were trying to prevent. Hopefully it can spread to other parts of Europe.
