When the publisher of the News told his staff about the decision, he said they must be prepared to be ridiculed and vilified for putting their content behind a paywall. “This is a big risk — I’m not confident we’re going to succeed,” Moroney told me. “But we’ve got to try something.

WikiLeaks is about to publish more classified documents today. “We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack.” said WikiLeaks in a tweet. WikiLeaks also said that even if the website goes down, the documents will be published through newspapers. Today’s release of classified documents may harm the US relationship with its allies. The cyber attack is suspected to be initiated by the United States to prevent those classified documents from going public. United States had previously asked WikiLeaks to halt the release of documents today as it may “endanger people’s lives.” WikiLeaks already released about 400 k files on the Iraq war with proof of human rights violation by US troops and its allies.]]> http://blog.daype.com/news/wikileaks-website-under-cyber-attack.html/feed 0 http://blog.daype.com/articles/ipad-newspaper-look.html http://blog.daype.com/articles/ipad-newspaper-look.html#comments Tue, 23 Nov 2010 07:53:31 +0000 Editor http://blog.daype.com/?p=7587 News Corp is taking the iPad very seriously as a new way to distribute the news.
