If  you’ve already placed an order for Amazon’s new Kindle Voyage, you’ll be happy to know the company just announced the device has started shipping out to consumers. That being said,  Voyage’s buy page is still showing late November ship dates for new orders, so its not clear when exactly everyone will have them, but it’s nice to see at least some customers should be getting theirs soon. We reviewed the $199 device yesterday and think its probably the best ereader around, if not a necessary upgrade from some older models. ➤ Kindle Voyage Starts Shipping Today [Amazon Press Room]

With the increasing prevalence of online blogging software from platforms like WordPress and Blogger, it’s hard to remember that regular folks and many small businesses still create websites — with traditional desktop software, no less. Apple’s abandonment of iWeb as part of the 2012 sunset of MobileMe and the rise of iCloud, cleared the decks for other Mac developers to pick up the slack on the consumer end. RealMac Software’s RapidWeaver was among the software packages widely touted as successors to iWeb, alongside competitors like Karelia Software’s Sandvox, Rage Software’s EverWeb and Softpress’ Freeway.

GCHQ
The outgoing Director of GCHQ Sir Iain Lobban took the opportunity during his valedictory speech today to reflect on his 31 years as part of the UK’s spy agency, with a particular focus on balancing individuals’ right to privacy with the need for access to information. Lobban joined GCHQ at the end of the Cold War and now oversees a vastly different intelligence landscape than existed 30 years ago. Indeed, now GCHQ comes under far greater press and public scrutiny than it ever has before, primarily as a result of Edward Snowden’s NSA revelations about mass surveillance, some of which GCHQ were included in….
