First come black boxes, then comes the abuse. In a legal process filed earlier this week, American campaign group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has highlighted the dangers of allowing the Government to install it’s own ‘black box’ hardware into the communications network – as currently proposed by the draft Communications Data Bill.

First come black boxes, then comes the abuse.

In May, Mozilla's browser market share had dropped below 20 percent. It was just 0.14 points ahead of Google's Chrome. But Firefox has somehow fought back. Chrome's share is down, Firefox's is up, and there's almost a point separating the two. Internet Explorer dropped slightly while remaining dominantly in first, down 0.05 points to 54.00 percent. Three little words. A few days ago, I was reading Chris Skinner’s then-latest post on the Financial Services Club’s blog, headlined Never Mind The Channels, Here’s the B&**&^ks.

Disconnect: Ex-Googlers Raise Funding To Stop Google, Facebook & More From Tracking Your Data

(And a few of them are former Googlers no less!) In October 2010, Google engineer Brian Kennish created Facebook Disconnect, a Chrome extension that disables all traffic from third-party sites to Facebook servers but still allows you to access Facebook itself. The extension was an immediate hit, racking up 50K active users in two weeks (it now has 200K+), prompting Kennish to leave his job at Google to focus full-time on helping the average web user take back control of their data.

Welcome to the Post PC Era

In 1975, Gates and Allen form a partnership called Microsoft. Like most startups, Microsoft begins small, but has a huge vision – a computer on every desktop and in every home. The existential crisis facing Microsoft is that they achieved their mission years ago, at least as far as the developed world is concerned. When was the last time you saw a desktop or a home without a computer? 2001? The Case Against Google.

Financial repression: Then and now. In light of the record or near-record levels of public and private debt, debt-reduction strategies are likely to remain at the forefront of policy discussions in most of the advanced economies for the foreseeable future (Reinhart and Sbrancia 2011).

Financial repression: Then and now

Throughout history, debt-to-GDP ratios have been reduced by: Economic growth.Fiscal adjustment and austerity plans.Explicit default or restructuring of private and public debt. “Surprise” inflation.Steady financial repression accompanied by steady inflation. As coined by Ronald McKinnon (1973), the term “financial repression” describes various policies that allow governments to “capture” and “under-pay” domestic savers.

A céder : deux ans de tweets en parfait état (please RT) Que vaut un tweet? Pas grand-chose. Par contre, deux ans de tweets archivés et ordonnés, ça vaut un beau pactole.

Et ça fait beaucoup de matière: plus de 250 millions de messages s'échangent chaque jour dans le monde selon les derniers chiffres fournis par le réseau social. Jusqu'ici, Twitter ne permettait aux entreprises du secteur du data mining d'exploiter que la dernière semaine de tweets. Bien entendu, les tweets sont par défaut publics, mais ils sont inexploitables en tant que tels. The Personal Analytics of My Life.
