Rudd and Arbib duck the North Korea of the internet This morning's revelations from the Sydney Morning Herald, that Mark Arbib slipped around for the odd chat with the US Embassy during the Rudd government's term, largely conform to the orthodoxy of WikiLeaks, which is that the information is not massively surprising in itself, but the shock of seeing it in print is palpable. Much like the material concerning the control freakery of Kevin Rudd, who by the way is definitely not upset. He couldn't care less, give a damn, a hoot, a fig, or anything else. Welcome to Infowar version 1.0 The pressure being brought to bear on WikiLeaks, through fair means and foul by powerful governments around the world speaks volumes that cannot be ignored about the state of modern warfare.

Open letter: To Julia Gillard, re Julian Assange ThereÂ's no doubt that WikiLeaks and its figurehead-on-the-run Julian Assange are among the hottest items for discussion on the planet right now. Feelings are running high, and many in this country take the view that the Australian Government ought do more to assist its vilified, beleaguered citizen. Assange has become a cause celebre, as evidenced by the signatories to this open letter, a whoÂ's who of sorts, from Noam Chomsky to Helen Garner...

By Jesus Diaz Why the Dragon Spacecraft Success Opens a New Era In Space Exploration The Dragon spacecraft is now the first private spaceship to reach orbit and return safely to Earth. It just splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, after a perfect mission. This is a huge milestone in the history of space exploration. After aborting the first launch attempt because of a false telemetry reading, the Falcon 9 rocket zoomed up flawlessly from Cape Canaveral (">watch video here), flying over the Atlantic Ocean and reaching orbit in under ten minutes. Seconds after shutting down its second stage, the Dragon spacecraft separated from the Falcon 9 rocket. Dragon orbited the planet gathering crucial data for future missions. Then it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, opening its parachute and splashing gracefully in the Pacific Ocean, right on its projected target—this hasn't happened since the Apollo years! The SpaceX crew has already recovered the capsule. But the important thing here is the fact that this feat—launching a spacecraft capable of carrying seven astronauts and returning it safely to Earth—has never been achieved outside of state agencies. By completing this mission, SpaceX has demonstrated that any private company with the needed resources could fly a spaceship into orbit. Like NASA Administrator Charles Bolden just declared: While rocket launches from the Cape are considered a common occurrence, the historic significance of today's achievement by SpaceX should not be lost. [...] These new explorers are to spaceflight what Lindhbergh to commercial aviation. We're witnessing the dawn of a new era whose ultimate result could be routine, safe access to space, with industry, academia, other agencies and other governments regularly sending payloads and people to low Earth orbit. The Dragon capsule will enable the United States to stop depending on the Russians for launching astronauts to the space station. After the end of the space shuttle program, this will be badly needed. It may very well be the main way to ferry both astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other private space stations in orbit, like the ones now being built by Bigelow. This launch signals a new beginning in the age of space exploration. Congratulations, SpaceX. Share this:

Julian Assange and the slow stupefaction of the state As to the rights and wrongs of WikiLeaks, whether Mr Assange is a criminal, a traitor, a terrorist or a champion of global liberty, everyone will have his or her own view. Though he's certainly no terrorist it may be that Assange's object is far more subversive than the revelation of embarrassing truths - at least, if a document purportedly written by him four years ago is to be believed. WikiLeaks, the web and the power of the people The power of WikiLeaks does not come from its secrecy or the new technologies it uses. The core power of WikiLeaks is you. Free trade online The suggestion that we should pay GST on everything bought online from overseas is outrageous and should be opposed. U2 are so over it U2, itÂ's time to call it quits with the stadium act or at least spell it until you get your mojo back. Rudd stung by the WikiLeaks whip You have to hand it to the Americans. They were on to Kevin Rudd long before most of his colleagues and most of the media. Among other things, the WikiLeaks cables have revealed how the former US ambassador was critical of Rudd's 'control freak' tendencies and his ambition to direct Australia's foreign policy. But the problem for Kevin Rudd now is not embarrassment but credibility.
