Google News just announced that Spain’s recently passed link tax has forced the net giant to remove Spanish publishers from Google News and shut off the service in Spain come Tuesday. Thus a link tax intended to protect Spain’s publishers will only end up harming them — depriving them of untold audience — and could even end up killing the weakest among them. Spain will also bring damage to the web itself and to the country’s reputation, establishing itself as a hostile environment for investment in technology. Be careful what you wish for, you old, threatened institutions of media and government, huddling together against the cold wind of the new.

Watch along with them & see how entirely out of touch you are. This is the 20teens equivalent to us (70s kids) watching the TOTP XMAS special & being amazed at how unhip our parents were (to all the chartbusting sound #NotArf).

I went to see Interstellar last night. Enjoyed it very much. #FT

I went to see Interstellar last night. Enjoyed it very much. #FT Big, emotional ride through inner & outer space. So many big themes & so much to take in. Possibly destined to be labeled: 'flawed masterpiece' Kudos to Nolan for taking it on & delivering a film like this on such a big scale. Loved the robots :) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_(film)
