Allowing the ISP to “Double Dip” Does not encourage competition it stifles it down to only those who can afford to pay the tax. As customers we need to make our service providers know that they need to remain dumb pipes because that is what they are. All this crap (Data caps, Charging websites to reach customers, cutting people off the internet), it’s all about making money and nothing more. Internet in the U.S. is shitty and it’s shitty because our ISP’s refuse to upgrade their infrastructure all the while wanting to charge us more for less. You might think this doesn’t effect you, but it will. Time Warner cable throttles both the connections for Netflix & Youtube, if you experience buffering when trying to watch either, it’s because they are purposely limiting your connection, preventing you from watching High Def videos on line.
AT&T’s Sponsored Data is bad for the internet, the economy, and you
AT&T today announced a new "Sponsored Data" program that lets developers and brands pay to deliver content to your mobile device outside of your data caps. It sounds great for consumers on its face — you'll be able to get more stuff without paying for it! — but in reality it's a huge blow to the free and vibrant market of the internet economy, and the first step towards a new era of carrier control.

Activists push for juvenile justice system reforms
Critics argue detention centers wrongly focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation for young people

Japanese Astronaut Koichi Wakata shared this image from the International Space Station on Twitter this Saturday morning saying “the sun does not set on low earth orbit for another few days as the ISS is tracking parallel to the terminator.” The expansive International Space Station is a working laboratory orbiting 260 miles above the Earth, traveling at 17,500 mph, and is home to an international crew. It is the most complex scientific and technological endeavor ever undertaken. As a research outpost, the station is a test bed for future technologies and a research laboratory for new, advanced industrial materials, communications technology, medical research and much more.
