+[Boddit is a new bargain shopping site][1] designed to help you find the best deals on the internet. One part search engine, one part price tracker, Boddit offers some nice features that could help you save some money during the holiday shopping period.
+In my experience Boddit works best for casual browsing rather than targeted searching of specific products, but your milage may vary.
+Boddit works by pulling in prices from a number of big discount internet retailers like Dealnews, Slickdeals, Fatwallet and many more. Rather than searching all those sites individually Boddit lets you search them all at once.
+Boddit also offers what they call "web search, Boddit-style" which amounts to creating a frame with a toolbar on the left of your browser window and performing searches of other sites in another frame. Normally I hate anything that creates frames in my browser, but Boddit's was actually helpful and made searching multiple sites much quicker.
+For instance with a single click I was able to jump from searching Pricegrabber to Froogle to Yahoo! Shopping and more. Unfortunately because Boddit apparently sends the search info as POST data, you back button will warn you about resubmitting a form, which is annoying, but worth the trade off in my opinion.
+Boddit will also search and browse auctions on Ebay, Half.com and Yahoo! Auctions. You can also search Craig's List, but unfortunately this only seems to work when you start from the Boddit homepage.
+Boddit also has a section called "Extras" that tracks various coupons and freebies available around the web, with deals range from printable coupons to mail-in rebate offers.
+One thing Boddit lacks is RSS feeds for tracking prices, but even without them, Boddit offers an impressive array of search options and might well save you both time and money  this holiday season.

+A new tool, [Psiphon][1], from a University of Toronto a team of software engineers and computer-hacking activists allows users to bypass internet censorship imposed by countries like China.
+Psiphon works by connected the user in an internet restricted country to a user in a none restricted country. The software needs to be installed on the host computer in a non-restricted country and then the user in the restricted-access country can then log into that computer through an encrypted connection and use it as a proxy to bypass any government filters.
+According to the designers there is no way to trace the restricted user's tracks from their computer, though the host computer will know what sites the user has accessed. 
+The network works on a premise of connecting to trusted users found through a social network, but this seems to me somewhat vulnerable to exploitation. I'm sure China would have no problems setting up fake hosts outside of China to trick users into logging in.
+That said, the Psiphon model does sidestep a number of pitfalls that have plague other attempts to bypass internet filters, the biggest draw being that it leaves no tracks on the censored user's machine. 
+Psiphon also has a distinct advantage of being easy to use and requires no software on the censored users end, just login to the host and you're done.
+As the Psiphon site notes, bypassing censorship could violate national laws and have legal (and I'm sure much worse than legal) repercussions for users in restricted countries.
+Reporters Without Borders recently released a list of thirteen countries they believe are suppressing freedom of expression on the internet including China, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Vietnam and more.
+Psiphon will be publicly available for [download beginning December 1st][2].

+*	Reuters reports that [nine out of ten emails worldwide are spam][1]. The United States, China and Poland are the main originators of the more than 7 billion spam messages sent this month. Remember when spam was just a funny sketch from Monty Python?
+*	Opera Software has [announced version 3.0 of its Mini browser][2] intended for mobile devices. The new version features enhanced photo sharing, an RSS feed reader and secure connections for mobile banking.
+*	The New York Times reports that [YouTube will finally be going mobile next month][3], partnering with Verizon. Unfortunately the service will involve a $15-a-month subscription to a Verizon's VCast service and will only feature films "approved by both companies." So more or less expect that to suck.
+*	Hot on the heals of the [UK SlingMedia/3 partnership][5] to stream video to cellphones comes a new company, [Phling, which claims it can do the same for music][4] and works here in the U.S. Found via [Lifehacker][6].
+*	[Ethernet will be speeding up to 100 gbps][7], which should make it up to ten times faster than the current 10-gigabit version. A study group from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently agreed on a target speed bump for the networking technology, but it may be several years before new products hit the market.

+[Rootly, a news search engine][1], recently relaunched with some new customization and sharing features.
+Anyone can create a custom Rootly homepage which will pull in news stories matching the topics you select. If you register with the site you'll also be able to bookmark stories for later reading, share them with friends and browse other users' bookmarks. 
+The personalized features more or less mirror those of a typical social bookmarking site, but the focus in Rootly is on breaking news rather than general web pages.
+Rootly also offers a news search engine, but unfortunately, in my experience, the news search was dog-slow and didn't yield nearly as many results as a similar search on Google News typically returns. 
+The ability to customize the news feeds can make for some nicely targeted RSS feeds, though again, Google News and others offer nearly the same functionality. Rootly has a slightly less confusing interface than Google News, but the functionality isn't significantly different.
+The Rootly homepage does have a nice AJAXy scrolling headline ticker that updates with new headlines about every ten seconds.
+In the end Rootly seems like a nice start, but it's entering an already crowded market and doesn't have much in the way of standout features.
