Wikileaks fights to stay online after US company withdraws domain name

In today's Guardian, it was reported that the California-based Internet hosting provider, Everydns, dropped Wikileaks at 3am GMT on Friday (10pm EST Thursday).  It says it did so to prevent its other 500,000 customers of being affected by the intense cyber attacks targeted at WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks and the cache of secret diplomatic documents that have proved to be a scourge for governments around the world were only accessible through a string of digits known as a DNS address. The site later re-emerged with a Swiss domain, WikiLeaks.ch.

 

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to give '60 Minutes' interview about 'Social Network'

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will appear on "60 Minutes" in his first television interview since the Hollywood film "The Social Network" debuted in October.

The interview with "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl will air Sunday night, 12/5. In it, Zuckerberg talks about the film (and presumably the unflattering portrait it painted of him), as well as his company’s direction and his rising profile as its CEO.
