The National Security Agency wants your kids to know that it's cool to be "cyber smart.
" As part of the agency's outreach to promote interest in technology and recruit a future generation of computer security experts, the NSA has links on its homepage to two sites targeted at children and adolescents. The "Kids Page," intended for elementary age children, appears to be down at the moment—either that, or the error code reference (Reference #97.887ffea5.1374616699.dc7bfc5) is an encoded message to grade school operatives that it's time to report in. But the "Change The World" page, targeted at middle and high school students, is chock full of crypto-clearance fun. There's a word search, a PDF to print to make your own letter substitution code wheel, and a collection of tips on how to be a good cyber-citizen.

This Is the Most Detailed Picture of the Internet Ever (and Making it Was Very Illegal) Why would you need a map of the Internet?
The Internet is not like the Grand Canyon. It is not a destination in a voyage that requires so many right turns and so many left turns. The Internet, as the name suggests and many of you already know, is nothing but the sum of decentralized connections between various interconnected computers that are speaking roughly the same language. To map out those connections and visualize the place where I spend so much of my time may not have any clear use, but it intrigues the pants off me.
An anonymous researcher with a lot of time on his hands apparently shares the sentiment. The resultant map isn't perfect, but it is beautiful. Influence sociétale d'INTERNET ? Les trolls, ou le mythe de l’espace public. Survey Shows Growing Strength of E-Books. E-books continued their surge in popularity last year, surpassing hardcover books and paperbacks to become the dominant format for adult fiction in 2011, according to a survey of publishers released Wednesday.
For several years, consumers have been rapidly switching from print to digital for reading novels, a sign of the growing strength of the e-book for narrative, straightforward storytelling. Over all, digital books kept up their explosive growth in 2011, the survey confirmed. Publishers’ net revenue from sales of e-books more than doubled last year, reaching $2.07 billion, up from $869 million in 2010.
E-books accounted for 15.5 percent of publishers’ revenues. But as digital revenue grew, print sales suffered, dropping to $11.1 billion in 2011 from $12.1 billion in 2010. 4chan Users Get Burger King Employee Fired For Defiling Lettuce in Photo. The employee, whose name has not been released to the public, originally posted a picture of himself standing in the restaurant's supply of lettuce with the caption, This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King.
The photo caused an uproar on the site. While 4channers are an anarchic lot, they don't like people messing with their food. Users checked the photo's metadata to determine where and when it was taken. Within nine minutes, the original poster was tracked down to Mayfield Heights, Ohio. After another three minutes, users had tracked down the contact information of the Burger King in question. Plans were made to call local news agencies. Another user wrote, The bar code on the box will tell everything. Un algorithme pourrait traquer les fausses rumeurs sur Twitter jusqu'à leur source. Mardi 21 août.
Le sciento, le flic et le Vicieux anonyme. A l'occasion du méga-raid européen des Anonymous contre l'église de Scientologie, qui se tient ce samedi 25 août 2012 à Paris, Vicieux, l'un d'entre-eux, a raconté à Owni comment un policier l'a récemment bousculé, avant d'infliger à plusieurs Anonymous des contraventions pour avoir manifesté masqués.
Le port du masque de Guy Fawkes ne relève pas que d’un folklore potache de geeks biberonnés au soi-disant “anonymat” qui régirait le Net. C’est d’abord et avant tout un moyen utilisé par les pionniers du mouvement Anonymous pour se protéger du Bureau des affaires spéciales (Office of Special Affairs, ou OSA), le service de renseignement de l’église de Scientologie. C’est ce qu’avait expliqué Vicieux, l’un des rares Anonymous français a avoir accepté de passer à la télévision, lorsqu’il avait été interviewé par Thierry Ardisson dans son émission Salut les terriens, sur Canal +. Does the Internet Know More About Us Than We Do? Did you ever wonder how LinkedIn generates that list of “people you may know?”

In the vein of what Google has done for a few years now, Twitter released a “transparency tool” on Monday.
The company showed the public for the first time exactly how many times governments ask for user information or ask for content to be taken down. The tool also shows how many DMCA takedown requests are made. The new tool's release comes on the same day that a New York criminal judge denied Twitter's motion to quash a subpoena request for an Occupy Wall Street protestor's data. Not surprisingly, requests from the United States government top the list, coming in at 679 (out of 849 requests made in 2012). Les Anonymous publient une liste de pédophiles présumés.

Paiement. TweetLevel & BlogLevel: 'GPS' for navigating influence online - TNW. Edelman, one of the world’s largest independent PR firms, today launches two web-based platforms designed to enable companies to identify key online influencers on specific topics. TweetLevel and BlogLevel are free to use, and are designed to be used by brands as social media planning and measurement tools. TweetLevel finds the influencers on Twitter, and BlogLevel does the same for the blogosphere. The new tools build on the original TweetLevel, launched back in 2009, which MTV later used to select its first ‘Twitter Jockey’.
But Twitter later placed greater restrictions on third-party access to its API, which meant many platforms were affected by this – including TweetLevel, which was forced offline. It seems that rather than throwing in the towel, Jonny Bentwood, Director and Head of Influencer Engagement at Edelman and who is also the creator of TweetLevel (and now BlogLevel), changed tack and the platform now procures its data from social search engine Topsy’s API. Smartphones are taking over wallets in Canada [Infographic] Canadians are adopting banking apps on their smartphone rapidly and are slowly ditching wallets in favor of banking on the go, according to a report. Toronto-based Solutions Research Group reveals that over 2.5 million Canadians are already banking on the go, which shows remarkable traction given the first mobile bank app launched only a year ago.
Interestingly, it took online banking four years to reach the same level of penetration in Canada. According to the report, banking apps are well-positioned, already surpassing music, news, video, and entertainment apps, virtually all of which have existed since the first iPhone was introduced, in downloads. About eight percent of Canadians who download banking apps don’t end up using them, most likely due to security concerns.
