The personal computer may soon be not-so-private, with the U.S. and some European nations working on laws allowing them access to search the content held on a person's hard drive.
President Obama's administration is keeping unusually tight-lipped on the details, which is raising concerns among computer users and liberty activists.
Almost everyone today owns a music player and a laptop. But what if the Government decided to allow itself to access these personal devices for no specific reason whatsoever?

ATLANTA — A Northern Georgia District judge sentenced T.I. to one year and one day in prison on felony weapons charges Friday (March 27), calling the rapper's plea deal "experimental" but a success.
Judge Charles Pannell Jr. told the rapper he had more than exceeded the court's expectations, and he hoped his case would inspire similar plea deals.
Tip is scheduled to report to prison voluntarily within the next six to eight weeks. However, the judge acknowledged that the rapper has agreed-upon commitments what will not allow him to enter prison before May 19.
Shortly before 9:30 a.m., the rapper arrived at the 23rd-floor chamber. His manager, Jason Geter, was present beforehand. The sterile building was largely quiet as federal workers, lawyers, and citizens slowly filed in. The courtroom was filled with a mix of teens, curious employees from the building, and the rapper's family, including his longtime partner, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. A hushed tone overtook the room with T.I.'s entrance. Lawyers were still entering.
T.I., wearing a charcoal grey suit, dark dress shirt and matching tie, was greeted warmly by his legal team. His spirits appeared up as he flashed a smile to different people as he scanned the room.
T.I. — who will discuss how he feels about his upcoming jail time on "T.I.'s Road to Redemption: The Reckoning," airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV — made a plea deal last March that suggested if he completed 1,000 hours of community service before sentencing, paid a $100,000 fine and agreed to complete another 500 hours of community service after his time behind bars, he would be sentenced to a year and a day in prison.
The sentence is notable, according to legal experts, because of the specific length. If T.I. were to be sentenced to one year in prison, for example, he would be required to complete the entire sentence. The sentence of one year and one day could allow T.I. to be released earlier for good behavior, if warranted.
Don't miss "T.I.'s Road to Redemption: The Reckoning," airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP T.I. .....

Since Kevin from ‘To the Dogs or Whoever’ quitted blogging, i’m no longer getting great tips about aussie bands, until… Until my browser loads this early morning, the bric-à-brac cdbaby.com new arrivals folk page… And for the first time, the very first click was the right one : Jess Ribeiro and the Bones Collector !
Alternative country folk from the tropical northern territory of Australia, with a diverse saddlebag of mature, enchanting, mesmerising and playful songs.
The opening track from this too short ep - the kind of frustration reminded me one of my best ep last year released by Jess’s fellow country songwriter Phillip Bracken ) is totally bewitching : an amazing voice à la Alela Diane is floating over a delicate fullstrings composition. Then the first listening of “It’ll Come to Pass” leave me with no voice and confirmed - as the following two tracks - the extent of such a dazzling talent !
Well I guess I won’t be the only one awaiting for the first full length which should be released later this year… In the meantime, buy the EP, read and listen to her interview on ABC here.
