I thought it was odd that i didnt hear anyth reported on the news at all about this tradgic story, so i thought i should confirm it since i mentioned it. At 1st, it almost seemed like no such occurrance, as i googled just that & had to go thru 2 pages of results (directly about Reddit) b4 i found below article.
Seems the gentleman who took his life was a cofounder of reddit & also helped develop RSS feeds. Similar to the Julian Assuange (sp?) story, this man, only in mid 20's was a fighter for the free public dissemination of internet info, someth that opera also helps to faccilitate in their way, via these great browsers.
Ironically, seems that in most concerned circles, other than gov't procecutors, the charges against him were thought to inappropriate to ridiculous.
The last sentence of the article provided even more irony, as MIT (i believe it was) where the documents were obtained from, by Swartz, which is what brought about the 13 felony charges, just announced they are releasing, for free, the millions of documents in question. How sad.
I thought i would post the article & a couple thoughts, since apparently, most ppl would not know about this, due to its absence in the news (as far as i know..), while every freakin movement & silly action of beiber, kardashiuns, the lohans, etc etc....is ubiquitous, in all media formats.
