Orson Swindle, Commissioner of the FTC has said he would lead the charge to prevent regulations regarding privacy. He went on to say that the consumer should be the guard of his own privacy. (Someone needs to give this guy an education. With companies like RealNetworks ripping your information without your knowledge we need laws. How can the consumer hope to guard himself against something he does not know about?)

After posting our rumor yesterday HNN received this email:
"After a year and a half, Parse and its host Shamrock have parted ways. The split was amicable. Within the next few weeks, Pseudo will be launching "ParseTV.com", the digital subCULTure channel. As we prepare programming for Parsetv, we are committed to working with hosts and producers who can devote the time necessary to make Parse a top resource for hacking culture and technical information related to hacking and security. Unfortunately, Shamrock was unable to make such a commitment at this time.

I myself, still believe that Shamrock has a very valuable role to play in hacker media. His outspokenness and pranks were refreshing to the community. Perhaps down the road, he might return to Parse in an undetermined role, but that will have to be worked out at some later date. Additionally, I want to state that his departure so soon after the airing of the MTV hacker show is purely coincidental."

- Rinz, Producer of Parsetv.com"
