    The death of the idealist. I had never heard of SOPA being so close before, thanks to Aaron, otherwise, even if I climbed out of the ladder, I would find that it was already dark outside before I knew it. What's even more funny is that I climbed the ladder just for a simple Access to knowledge. PS. The cut was so good, my dad was reluctant to see that he was called out for a walk in the second...

But today I'm here to tell you that you are powerful. Yes, sometimes you feel like no one is listening to what you have to say. But I am here to tell you that someone is listening. Your voice can be heard and you are changing...

    Opinions on Kai-Fu Lee

    Kai-Fu Lee pointed out that MIT's role as an excessive plaintiff and the problems of American justice led to this tragedy: 1) How should Internet crimes be dealt with?

    Personal Movie List #30. Children of the Internet

    Personal rating: ★★★★

    A new documentary, telling the story of a genius boy who fought for the rights and interests of online public information and fell under political accusations. Of course it will not be an entertaining movie, but it is enough to make us think deeply in the Internet age.

    After...
