Spinning the Web: Alex Kazim puts another thumb print on online biz
Abracadabra Alex Kazim... or so it seems for the Silicon Valley exec who's brought an entrepreneurial vision to online business. Kazim was a guiding force behind PayPal and Skype as the companies were locking in their sector positions. And now, Kazim is aiming his prowess toward the beleagured publishing industry which has struggled with profitability in an environment where the core competency of content is largely free in a wired world . Kazim's new company, called Ongo, is fundamentally a news aggregate site in much the same way as Drudge...
Wrooom finishes with a stunning exhibition
Ducati Team riders Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden faced Scuderia Ferrari F1 stars Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa in an ice-race on the final day of the Wrooom Press Meeting.
Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden connected Ferrari?s Formula 1 drivers for a stunning exhibition on Madonna di Campiglio?s frozen lake in front of an enthusiastic crowd of over 5,000 people.
?This week has been a fantastic event, and the races at the end were a lot of fun,? said Valentino. ?In the end, I determined to take part because the atmosphere here at Wrooom was so fantastic, and because the fans deserved it. I got a few jolts from the holes, but nothing too bad. It was value it.?
"This was my third Wrooom, and I believe it was the best one yet," echoed Nicky Hayden. "It seems like they just make it better every year. They really treat us good, and we make a lot of friends, and it?s great to see them each year. This is a great way to kick things off, but there?s been sufficient talking about everything now. It?s time to get out there and do the real thing. I look forward to it."

Skype 5 for Mac leaves beta, now charging for group video calls
For people who've been using Skype 5 Beta, the final version has some pluses and minuses. The good news is that Skype has slimmed down the huge main window from the beta, and decreased the (frankly enormous) amount of whitespace in the contact list and the chat interface. The bad news is that the new group video calling feature has become part of the Skype Premium package, so you'll need a $4.99 day pass or an $8.99 monthly subscription to use it. If you haven't tried out group video chat yet, you still have a chance: new users will get 7 days free.
For a closer look at Skype for Mac 5, check out Skype's promotion video, embedded after the break.

Apple website updated with HTML5 goodness
The only big usability improvement here is the new magically-expanding search field that shows suggested results as you type. Page load times don't seem noticeably different, either. Also, as TUAW points out, the changes aren't iPad compatible yet. Is this the kind of revamp that only die-hard Apple fans and software bloggers will even notice, or are the changes in the site obvious to the average customer? More importantly, do you like the new site better than the old one?
UPDATE: The site now seems to be displaying properly on the iPad.

No return for UK terror suspects
Lawyers condemn increased use of deprivation of citizenship orders, as eight people are served notices while out of the country
Eight people suspected of terrorist links have been banned from returning to Britain under deprivation of citizenship orders, described bya lawyer for some of them as "far more draconian" than control orders.
A freedom of information request by the Guardian revealed that, since 2007, eight people have been issued with these orders and had their passports cancelled while out of the UK, the same number as currently are subject to control orders. Often they were visiting family members abroad in school holidays when the notices were served, followed within a day or two by a signed order and an exclusion order preventing them from returning to the UK.
The use of deprivation of citizenship orders has increased: of the eight orders since 2007, five were served last year.
Rights lawyers said that the recipients had suffered injustices, and that the orders were part of the "post-9/11 industry": while allegations of terrorist links might be justified, recipients had difficulty defending themselves because they were banned from the UK without warning.
The Immigration Law Practitioners' Association has made a submission to the parliamentary joint committee on human rights, condemning the increased use of these orders. In at least one case, it said, an attempt to communicate with lawyers in the UK from where the individual was stranded put them at risk.
Amanda Weston, a barrister dealing with some of the cases, said: "You get to see very clearly the impact of injustice on the lives of those on the receiving end and their families. There is increasing use of secret evidence, and national security considerations are having an impact on procedural fairness.
"Control orders are issued to people the government can't remove from the UK. Similarly, deprivation of citizenship orders are a way of making British citizens subject to immigration controls on very wide 'public good' grounds ? a far more draconian measure and a low-cost option for the secretary of state."
Derrick Agyeman, a security-cleared Met police employee born in Britain and of African descent, had his passport confiscated by Dutch officials on holiday in Amsterdam in 2006 because they thought he looked different to his passport photo. He was charged with using a false identity but the case was swiftly thrown out. Although his employer vouched for him, the Foreign Office refused to return his passport. He was denied entry to the UK for three months, and was allowed to return only when he lodged legal proceedings.
The Home Office said: "National security is the government's top priority and the home secretary will take any action necessary to protect the public. This includes depriving dual nationals of their British citizenship. Any individual deprived of citizenship has a right of appeal which will be fully considered by a court. They do not need to be in the country in order to exercise this right."
