Power to the Wiki-People





The conflict that erupted between French intelligence authorities and the Wikimedia Foundation over its refusal to remove a "sensitive" Wikipedia page goes right to the heart of free expression, says Geoffrey Brigham, the foundation's general counsel. Decisions on takedown requests are based less on filing the right paperwork or adhering to a particular country's laws than on the Wikipedia community's principles.



Earlier this month, agents for France's top intelligence agency, the Direction Central du Renseignement Int�rieur, or DCRI, were accused of trying to force a Wikipedia volunteer to remove a Wikipedia page describing a French military radio relay station. The volunteer, a library curator, reportedly was threatened with jail unless he complied.
Before any of the bullying took place, the DCRI had gone the conventional route, contacting the Wikimedia Foundation, which is Wikipedia's parent organization. The Wikimedia Foundation declined to remove the material but said it would be happy to comply upon the receipt of proper legal documentation.
The saga had a few unintended consequences. For one thing, the French authority hoping to stymie the spread of information about the station ended up increasing traffic to the page 1,000-fold. The events also raised interesting questions about what, exactly, constitutes a legitimate Wikipedia takedown request. If a national security-related request from France -- which is not some backwater, totalitarian regime -- is not heeded, then what is? What makes a takedown request legitimate?
In this TechNewsWorld podcast, we talk with Geoffrey Brigham, the general counsel and board secretary for the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts a number of projects, including Wikipedia. Brigham explains the logistics of a Wikipedia takedown request, what the criteria for legitimacy are, and how Wikipedia's linguistic expansion -- which invariably means a geographic expansion -- affects this process.

Provo Is Next Stop on the Google Fiber ExpressGoogle's ambitious plan to spread its speedy fiber optic broadband service across the country will next head west to Provo, Utah. The company and Provo's mayor announced the proposed deal that has Google removing the millstone of an existing debt-ridden, unfinished fiber network off its budget. That current network may actually make the upgrade to gigabit technology easier for Google, which means Provo may enjoy better quality video and Web interactivity before Austin.

AMD nabs Apple graphics chip designer


AMD nabs Apple graphics chip designer

The PC and server chipmaker will soon announce Raja Koduri is joining AMD's team to work on graphics chip design, CNET has exclusively learned.

Advanced Micro Devices will soon announce it has hired a former Apple graphics chip designer to bolster its engineering leadership bench as it turns itself around, CNET has learned.
Raja Koduri, who most recently served as director of graphics architecture for Apple, will be rejoining AMD four years after leaving that company, people familiar with the hire told CNET. He will be taking on a role in AMD's graphics business, though it wasn't immediately clear to CNET what his title would be. AMD is expected to make the announcement next week.
The move is the latest in a series of behind-the-scenes shuffles among some heavy hitters in the chip market. Last August, AMD named Jim Keller to be its corporate vice president and chief microprocessor architect, reporting to former Apple hardware chief Mark Papermaster. The month before it was AMD chip designer John Bruno, who joined Apple.
