Haystack and the Myth of the Boy Wizard 127
Jamie sent in an interesting writeup about
The Myth of the Boy Wizard. No, it's not about Hogwarts, but rather about Haystack and its creator, Austin Heap. Last summer the media covered the programmer, the software, and its supposed effect on Iranian censorship. But as is often the case, truth is less interesting than reality. What happened is that the story managed to press some magic buttons, and the media ran with it. This one is worth a read.

The truth is just a small set of boring facts, mostly about frogs and Arthur Dent. Reality is much more interesting.
