Technology and Internet Culture in Silicon Valley | Columns | Technology News Annalee Newitz feels cheated by the walls that have gone up on the web—not the walls that protect her personal information, but the ones that prevent her from finding friends.

Public Intellectuals Annalee Newitz will offer part autobiography and part cultural analysis in her exploration of the ironic and neurotic relationship between the booming new economy and subversive communication on the Internet. Newitz presented examples of what she called "sort of subversive" sites on the Web including Godhatesfigs.com, Fury.com/aoliza (a reference to MIT's own early artificial intelligence project, ELIZA) and Fuckedcompany.com. While parody and satire have their place in cultural clashes, Newitz said that "progressives" have to "understand that just because it's online doesn't mean it's corporate." As an example, Newitz pointed to the online magazine Salon.com (for which she has written). web.mit.edu /comm-forum/forums/public_intellectuals.html   (1121 words)

[No title] Newitz' self-justification -- e.g., she purchases multiple CDs when she can be sure the money goes to the artist -- does not bear scrutiny. Regardless of the deal the artist struck with the record label/studio that distributed her music (or produced her film, etc.,) that does not for an instant change the fact that Newitz' infringing actions are nothing more than theft against those who paid for the right to sell that product. Newitz for what she is -- a petty thief and a third-rate intellect. www.politechbot.com /p-05009.html   (498 words)

Books at Duke University Press Newitz looks at representations of serial killers, mad doctors, the undead, cyborgs, and unfortunates mutated by their involvement with the mass media industry.

CNN.com - Cyber rights... and wrongs - May. 7, 2003 Using the U.S. News & World Report list of the nation's top 50 research universities, Newitz compared the schools based on three areas: how much privacy students had on university computer networks; the availability of privacy tools -- and whether they charged for them; and what the school's bandwidth limitations were.

Monster masher / Annalee Newitz / Tech columnist believes the beast under the bed in horror movies is capitalism Newitz, writer of the syndicated "Techspoitation" column as well as a contributing editor of Wired magazine, has written a book called "Pretend We're Dead."

We abolitionists may be guilty of many sins, but we do not patronize white working-class people, or treat them as specimens, the way some of our accusers make careers out of doing.

News & Features | The new outcasts In 1992, Newitz helped create Bad Subjects, a Web ’zine dealing with pop culture that she describes as somewhat "academic-y and pretentious." She’d also freelanced regularly for years, writing mostly about technology, pop culture, and sex for periodicals like Salon, Wired, and Nerve, and eventually became culture editor of the Bay Guardian. If it were, Newitz never would’ve penned a rant for the second issue called "Why NPR Is Evil." In the two-page spread, Newitz railed against how "NPR is the wholesome choice, like oatmeal instead of sugar cereal" and how it’s become default cocktail talk for lefties. These days, Anders and Newitz are back in the Bay Area — they returned to the West Coast in June, after Newitz finished her year at MIT. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/news_features/other_stories/documents/03315255.asp   (2265 words)

Salon | Letters to the editor In her struggle to make a place for herself, a struggle which seems all out of proportion to her obvious talent and passion, Newitz has run up against the oldest cliché in the book: Life is not fair. Indeed, it is the foundation of at least three major world religions (Buddhism, with its great teaching "suffering exists"; Judaism, with its eloquent and terrifying texts of Job and Lamentations; and Christianity, with its tragic central image of the crucified Christ). I have just read Annalee Newitz's article "Out of Academia."

[No title] Prolific tech writer Annalee Newitz reports, “For years, governments all over the world have secretly been collaborating with the high-end color laser printer industry in order to track the origin of every color copy made.

Linux News: Legal : Consumers Should Read Before Clicking 'I Accept' According to the author of the white paper, EFF policy analyst Annalee Newitz, overly broad EULAs in the high tech industry are one of the greatest threats to consumer rights. EULAs have been around for more than 20 years, Newitz noted, "but it's only in the last three or four years that we've seen so many terms coming into them which are such flagrant violations of privacy, and also asking people to sign away rights that they have under federal law."
