» Because there isn't nearly enough control over the Internet, the cabinet approved setting up a new office to "prevent and suppress" anything on the Internet that is aimed at or might be aimed at the monarchy; with some help from Mr Orwell, the government decided the office should be called the Bureau of Prevention and Eradication of Computer Crime; Juti Krairiksh, the new MICT (Minister of Internet Censorship of Thailand) explained that any Internet provider who did not instantly comply with his "request" to block a website would lose its licence.

» In what looks to be the most hyped phone release of the year, Apple rolled out its highly anticipated iPhone 4 on Thursday in the US, UK, Japan, France and Germany. The world snuck an early glimpse of the phone when a drunk patron at a bar in San Francisco stumbled across a prototype in March after it was left by the now-infamous apple software engineer Gray Powell. But it has finally hit the shelves, and it's now up to critics and consumers alike to see if Apple can regain the smartphone throne.

» Who ever would have predicted that a million Thais would not be able to get ID cards because of a spat between the Ministry of Interior (MOI) and the Ministry of Internet Censorship of Thailand (MICT)?
