Facebook is evil, says Eben Moglen, and what we really need are personal web servers. His argument is typically overstated (I don't think Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has really "done more harm to the human race than anybody else his age"). But I agree with this: "We need a really good web server that you can put in your pocket and plug in any place. It shouldn't be any larger than the charger for your cellphone. You should be able to plug it into any power jack in the world or sync it up with any wi-fi router that happens to be in this neighborhood." Thanks to Gary lewis for the link; he also sends this link with audio and video of Eben Moglen, and this Slashdot discussion of the $100 server.
