HA! Student protestors using hi-tech to outwit police in London (GB2010)

a few days ago i suggested the protesting students could do with some kind of "anti-kettling app", to outwit the efforts of the police to stop them protesting (they've also been keeping students detained out in freezing subzero temperatures, well after bedtime).
it turns out i was over engineering things in my head. the students on the anti-fees protests in London are now using this simple google map:
i got sent it by this guy
if you watch it, you can follow what's happening in london right now. with audio/video/image updates and stuff, it could also become a chaotic unflitered news repository.
there may be others from around the country, do post if you've seen them.
don't let me get carried away, but what i find interesting with this, with wikileaks, and going right back to older underground video news outlets like undercurrents, is that it does feel a bit as if the tools traditionally only available to the state for things like surveillance, evidence gathering, coordination and dissemination are being democratised. 
i also very much enjoy the appearance of Godzilla in the Thames

Julian Assange: The history of Warfare (2006)

The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, although here the phases
are Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy. Thus:

Retribution:
I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
Anticipation:
I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother.
Diplomacy:
I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you on the
pretext that your brother did it.
