The statements, written by people from a variety of backgrounds and political persuasions, incorporate many of the same broad themes: SOPA will threaten perfectly legal websites, stifle innovation, kill jobs, and substantially disrupt the infrastructure of the Internet. Here is a small sample of what they had to say

This is a sample of T-Drive trajectory dataset that contains a one-week trajectories of 10,357 taxis. The total number of points in this dataset is about 15 million and the total distance of the trajectories reaches 9 million kilometers.

Street View time-lapse (Los Angeles) | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
I started off using a sample from Google's code repository, modified the
javascript to load a php page via an iframe. For each stop in the driving directions I
pass the php page the panoid, iterator, etc.
and construct the urls to the 21 tiles,
download them and call:montage $tempTilesdir/* -tile 7x3 -geometry
128x128 $basedir/$itr.jpg"Each tile sized down from 512x512 resulting
in the equirectangular panorama at 896x384
(easier to work with when there are a few
hundred frames).Once the driving directions reach the
destination I call:ffmpeg -f image2 -i %d.jpg -s 896x384 -r 5 -b
2000kbs $basedir/$datestamp_5-2000.aviWhich generates an avi encapsulated movie,
mpeg-4 encoded @ 2000kbs (5fps)I'd be interested in collaborating on
projects. PM with what you have going on.
thx.

But another interesting implication here is what would happen (or will happen) when the majority of vehicles are electric? If our use is typical, it means about a 25% increase in electricity consumption just for transportation. What does that mean for the electricity infrastructure? Would we be able in the U.S. to add 25% more capacity in say 10 years without resorting to coal? How much of that increase can be met through conservation?
Réduire notre utilisation des énergies fossiles, c'est augmenter notre consommation électrique. Produire suffisamment d'électricité (et la distribuer) pour arriver au même niveau de confort est un problème qui reste à résoudre.

Google Code Blog: Make your websites run faster, automatically -- try mod_pagespeed for Apache
So today, we’re introducing a module for the Apache HTTP Server called mod_pagespeed to perform many speed optimizations automatically. We’re starting with more than 15 on-the-fly optimizations that address various aspects of web performance, including optimizing caching, minimizing client-server round trips and minimizing payload size. We’ve seen mod_pagespeed reduce page load times by up to 50% (an average across a rough sample of sites we tried) -- in other words, essentially speeding up websites by about 2x, and sometimes even faster.
