Internet anonymity for Windows power users High performance access to file storage Our previous article, "Do-it-yourself Internet anonymity" was targeted towards average Windows users. It generated a startling number of e-mail requests for some advanced tactics, which I'm happy to supply. However, power user or not, I'd recommend at least skimming the earlier article if you haven't read it, just to ensure that you're not forgetting something obvious and useful. I'm not going to re-cap much of it here. Anonymous browsing Why Open Government Is Occasionally Undesirable - Joshua Green - Politics On Wednesday, I argued that the sudden push to throw open the negotiations of the congressional "supercommittee" charged with finding $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction was a bad idea that would make a deal less likely. A number of good-government types objected to what I wrote and insisted that openness was an imperative. I admire many of these people and organizations and support the important work they do to open up government; I suspect I'd share their views on almost any issue, so let me explain further why I differ with them on this one. Often in Washington what happens behind closed doors is not in the public interest -- Dick Cheney meeting with oil company executives in the White House; lobbyists pressing a congressman to slip an earmark or a tax break into a bill, that sort of thing.

Windows hack for Web-surfing privacy High performance access to file storage Those who read our article "Internet anonymity for Windows power users" know that I've been in quest of a way to assign the IE browser cache, cookies, typed URLs and history to RAM so they're never written to disk. Of course you can set your browser to delete the cache on exit, but there will be traces on the HDD; and you can block cookies or use a cookie management program, but blocking them makes surfing inconvenient, and cookie managers also leave traces on the HDD.

Open Government Partnership should foster accountability and social justice Senior government officials and campaigners from about 60 countries gathered in London last week for the second annual summit of the Open Government Partnership (OGP). Voluntary commitments were announced on increased political transparency, and talks planned about freedom of information, civic participation, whistleblower protection and corporate accountability.

Making the true owners of companies part of the public record will enable journalists, campaigners and others outside government to expose these dark networks and the money that flows through them.
