Submission + - Is OpenMoko dead? (openmoko.com)

internet-redstar writes: "The OpenMoko project promised to revolutionise the GSM experience and it even made me forget all about the iPhone. But while the project homepage reads that shipping would start at the end of april, we didn't see anything move at all. If I hadn't seen one for real at FOSDEM, I would have put this in the hoax-category. What's going on at OpenMoko? I still want one!"

Submission + - iTunes Censorship - Artists, Lyrics and Videos

Submission + - France bans citizens from reporting violence

An anonymous reader writes: InfoWorld has reported that the French Constitutional Council has approved a law that prohibits anyone other than "professional journalists" from photographing, filming and/or broadcasting acts of violence. Activists are concerned that bloggers and website operators could also be targeted for prosecution if they post violent content... The article describes how the timing is unfortunate since it comes exactly 16 years after the filming of the Rodney King beating by Los Angeles police. Will professional journalists in France be required to seek a license from the government? Just who is a "professional journalist"?
