Denis Olivennes, le patron de la Fnac, devient membre de la mission d’études des moyens de lutte contre le téléchargement, mise en place par le gouvernement. En effet, son ouvrage La gratuité, c’est du vol, est dans la plus pure ligne idéologique du pouvoir en place. Nicolas Sarkozy a déclaré que « la gratuité tuait la culture« , et Valérie Pécresse, ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche a déclaré le 24 juillet sur France Inter : « Ce qui est gratuit n’a pas de valeur. » La culture que veut le gouvernement est donc une culture basée sur le mercantilisme, une culture produite par l’industrie culturelle, étroitement contrôlée par les grands capitaux.
La Fnac, acteur majeur de cette industrie, aura donc son mot à dire dans les nouvelles dispositions du gouvernement pour casser du hacker, comme Vivendi avait son mot à dire dans l’élaboration de la loi DADVSI. Le pouvoir a donc pris fait et cause pour une culture mercantile. . . . Auteur: Deneb Source: AgoraVox. Internet. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

The Washington Post Company (WPO) put out its quarterly numbers today. Wall St. loved the figures and pusked the stock up over 6% to to $841. Net income fell to $69 million from $79 million in the quarter a year ago. Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $1,046.8 million, up 8% from $969.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 The driver at the topline was the Kaplan education businesses which improved revenue by 23% to $503 million. Revenue at the company’s newspapers fell 7% to $228 million. Magazine revenue dropped 13% to $73 million. In an article run in Fortune last week, the magazine made the point that The Washington Post is banking on the internet to "save serious journalism.
" The new earnings report gives WPO a low grade in that arena. Not only is that a very small number relative to the size of the newspaper operation, but the revenue growth rate is very low. WPO shares may be up, but someone forgot to read the fine print. Douglas A. Washing. A-stat-a-day.com. World Internet Usage Statistics News and Population Stats. Scholz. Relying on inner teachers. Yesterday, Pete Reilly wrote: Economic Downturn Spells Trouble for Schools (and ed tech) where he foresees compounding problems with foreclosures, shrinking property values, and declining property tax revenues all impacting funds for public schooling.

He previously explored the alarming turnover statistics of new classroom teachers and the stark contrast with satisfying employment in their subsequent positions. While I continue looking at this problem, there's several more factors feeding an unstoppable decline: While blogging for the past year on related topics, I've come to the following realizations about the nature of a compounding solution in education: When we assume each student has an inner teacher within their minds, we will stop interfering with the discovery, cultivation and trust building with that inner teacher.
Trebor Scholz 'journalisms' - Collectivate.net. Last week, I spoke at Hacker Manifesto 10 Years On: A Ruthless Criticism of All That Exists at the New School. Here are my notes. Stephanie Costello, a 50 year-old nurse in the American Southwest, could not land a job in her profession, took an unsatisfactory office position where, during slow times, she started to work on Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). At the onset of the Great Recession that job fell through and she turned to AMT as her main source of income. Today, Costello spends at least 60 hours a week looking for and working on Mechanical Turk tasks for anywhere between 50 and 150 dollars, depending on how “lucrative” the work really is that week. Costello is not alone; there are 500,000 people with worker accounts at AMT and some 18% of them are trying to make a living Mechanical Turk, which is nearly impossible given the hourly rate of a miserly 2-3 dollars.

Introduction The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before.
This is intended to be a brief, necessarily cursory and incomplete history. In this paper,3 several of us involved in the development and evolution of the Internet share our views of its origins and history. The Internet today is a widespread information infrastructure, the initial prototype of what is often called the National (or Global or Galactic) Information Infrastructure.
Origins of the Internet The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Leonard Kleinrock at MIT published the first paper on packet switching theory in July 1961 and the first book on the subject in 1964. Proving the Ideas.
