WTP 241: Google Book Search, World Digital Library, E-Books, Psiphon, and Yahoo’s Purple Pedals

We start out all bookish this week. We hear about Google’s plan to digitally scan every book in the world, and make those books available to everyone with an internet connection. Also, UNESCO wants in on that action too, with a project called The World Digital Library. Then, an in-depth look at e-publishing; are paper books a thing of the past? Then, we hear about some Internet filtering circumvention technology called Psiphon. And we end with Yahoo’s bid to trick out bikes with net cams and geo-location software.
