This week’s privacy related news items are well worth the read, covering a pretty broad spectrum of issues. The most eye-catching topics were: Information Week Firefox Add-On Simulates Great Firewall Of China Aram Bartholl, Even Roth and Tobias Leingruber’s recent Firefox add-on has been getting lots of buzz, since it lets people get a glimpse [...]

Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while.

Follow-up to the last post, the billing system is completely functional again. Happy Tuesday!
