5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading in the information age 3 Nov 2010
2600 is a great source of information and opinion, whether or not you consider yourself to be a hacker.

The magazine takes an in-depth look at the information and communications technology which has become an integral part of our lives. While some articles require a level of technical expertise (it'll help if you know your way around a Linux distribution and a programming language or two), much of the information is accessible to anyone with reasonable computing proficiency.

Where 2600 really excels is in its examination of the effects of technology on society. Issues including Wikileaks, intellectual property law, privacy, data protection and media manipulation are frequent themes, and the magazine provides a platform for a range of views which sometimes aren't heard in the mainstream media.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a subscription option. 1 Nov 2010
By James T. Freeman - Published on Amazon.com

I have read 2600 off and on for more than 17 years now. I read this before I even owned a computer, learned a few tricks to call home for free when I was short on change but needed a ride. Glad to see they have jumped into the new format. But they really need to get a subscription going.

I've always had issues locating copies of 2600 magazine at the local book stores. I'm glad it's available for the kindle. My only complaint is that I can't have it as a subscription with auto delivery.

SFML (look it up) which does media related stuff, but also has nice helper classes for doing HTTP GET and POST related things. &quote;

Not only is Wikileaks doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing, but its existence is essential for any society that professes to be democratic. The word of the authorities should never be the final one and the contributions of the individual must always be valued. &quote;
