 The Australian: Unkindest cut to Big Brother [October 13, 2005]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
TEN'S publicity generating machine, Big Brother Uncut, has been effectively switched off by broadcasting authorities after the network was found guilty of serious breaches of the commercial television industry code.
The ruling is a blow for the network because Big Brother Uncut was the main source of interest in this year's relatively tired format.
Big Brother Uncut - prerecorded, edited and censored - is a bit like Australian Idol without a scathing judging panel or Dancing With the Stars without sexy costumes.

 Perspective: If Big Brother has a name, it's Bill McCollum
From giving the FBI expanded wiretapping authority to trying to give the agency a window into our encrypted data, McCollum has decided his role in Congress is to make sure our telephone conversations and e-mail are all within easy earshot and eye-shot of the government.
In 1997 Freeh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the proliferation of strong encryption threatens "the public safety of our citizens." His gripe with encryption is that it allows people to communicate without the FBI and other law enforcement agencies being able to eavesdrop.
So, in the same way the FBI (with a big push from McCollum), got Congress to force the telecommunications industry to retrofit their phone system to accommodate wiretapping, Freeh called on Congress to impose a "key recovery" scheme on all manufacturers of computers and software with encryption capabilities.

This morning's edition of the Fayette County section of the Atlanta Journal Constitution alluded to your “new plan to encourage higher voter turnout.” By obtaining a list of voters who participated in elections (or conversely, who don`t participate), you are apparently going to determine who will merit your attention and support.
I am not a constitutional attorney, but something here smells of Big Brotherism, and if opening voters' records to the public is not illegal, it certainly should be.
And, yes, I am a registered voter; yes, I voted in the school sales tax referendum; and yes, I have voted in virtually all elections in the past several years.

 Scribbler: Big brother is an insurance agent
This wouldn't be the first time Texas has tried to make sure that all drivers have auto insurance by creating a database of private insurance information, but this may be the most egregious example.
A Texas blogger, Grits for Breakfast, has some interesting thoughts on DPS security as it relates to the agency's effort to also collect biometric information on drivers [disclaimer: “Grits” is my husband].
Consumers Union has consistently opposed creating a big government database of insurance information—even the much more limited ones proposed two years ago—due to security concerns and because current insurance practices make it very difficult for some people to get the insurance that is mandated by law at anything like an affordable price.
