"This plugin is basically an improved version of the built-in text widget. It allows you to display some arbitrary text or HTML on your site - but instead of showing it everywhere on your site, it allows you to limit its display to certain section(s) of your site, including fine-grained per-page control. This plugin features an easy-to-use widget interface and there is no coding involved"

There is no giving up the internet now. And truly no logical reason exists why you couldn't be a thorough reader of both Proust and Gawker—both, after all, are interested in gossip—or couldn't exchange, by snail-mail, long, unbosoming letters with the same friend with whom you trade ticklishly glib text messages. A regular visitor to YouTube—a realm of mostly short, grainy clips pitched to amusement—can in theory also be a fan of Tarkovsky's long, eidetic, and solemn productions. The internet, as its proponents rightly remind us, makes for variety and convenience; it does not force anything on you.

Only it turns out it doesn't feel like that at all. We don't feel as if we had freely chosen our online practices. We feel instead that they are habits we have helplessly picked up or that history has enforced, that we are not distributing our attention as we intend or even like to. The experience of being online has at least as much to do with compulsiveness as with liberty.

Lawrence Lessig rightly excoriates Helprin's new book on copyright. "Mark Helprin has demonstrated no understanding in this book. And between a copyright system that fails to give royalties to grandchildren, and a culture of publishing that spreads the sort of ignorant raving that this book is, I should think we should be more concerned about the latter rather than the former."

"In this enlightening book James Boyle describes what he calls the range wars of the information age—today’s heated battles over intellectual property. Boyle argues that just as every informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment or civil rights, every citizen should also understand intellectual property law. Why? Because intellectual property rights mark out the ground rules of the information society, and today’s policies are unbalanced, unsupported by evidence, and often detrimental to cultural access, free speech, digital creativity, and scientific innovation."

"The number of literary intellectuals who know the second law is probably slightly higher than in Snow’s time, thanks to writers like Thomas Pynchon and Tom Stoppard, who have incorporated it into their work. And certain new scholarly fields, such as science and technology studies, span the two cultures. Yet these are small developments that leave the two poles essentially intact. The pertinence of the phrase “two cultures” continues; the science kids and the humanities kids, as it were, still sit at different tables in the lunchroom. Anosognosia still afflicts them both, as well as the shameless asymmetry in which “culture” is associated mainly with humanities education. Most disturbingly, however, the nagging continued relevance of Snow’s phrase should force us to rethink our intended solutions to today’s moral concerns, including energy policy, global warming, and genetic engineering."
