The group, set up to oppose government cuts and corporate tax avoidance, has staged hundreds of direct action protests against companies and banks since it was formed five months ago, many focusing on alleged tax avoidance.

SourceForge , the popular project hosting site, has released  Allura , the software that powers its service, as  Apache 2.0  licensed open source. The project to develop Allura began in 2009 and currently an instance of the software, which has also been known as "New Forge" or "Forge 2.0" during development, runs on SourceForge's servers.

Allura was actually "soft launched" in February, in anticipation of a full launch this month, and...

CHINESE blogger and activist Michael Anti wants to know why he is less worthy of a Facebook account than company founder Mark Zuckerberg's dog. Anti, a popular online commentator whose legal name is Zhao Jing, said his Facebook account had been suddenly cancelled in January. Company officials told him by e-mail that Facebook had a strict policy against pseudonyms and that he must use the name issued on his government ID. Anti said his professional identity as Michael Anti has been established for more than a decade, with published articles and essays. Anti, a former journalist who has won fellowships at both Cambridge University and Harvard University, said he set up his Facebook account in 2007.

I can't function using my Chinese name. Today, I found out that Zuckerberg's...
