It’s Monday again. That means we have another batch of links for the NDItech News and Notes Roundup. Once again, we’ve organized things into three categories: Popular Tech News, ICT and Development, and Mobiles. As always, please tweet at us - @nditech - or email us - [email protected] - with any comments or suggestions for future roundups.

 

Before we get to the links, we should take some time to reflect on the past with This Week in Tech History. On November 24, 1859, Chuck Darwin published his explanation of evolution in “On the Origin of Species”. And of course who could forget November 28, 1948, the day when the first Polaroid Instant Camera was sold.

 

And now, time for the links:

  • Google launches ad-free net experiment
