Stephen Wolfram , a scientist and entrepreneur, wondered: Could all of that information be compiled into a personal database, then analyzed to tell us something meaningful about our lives? Maybe it could suggest when we tended to be the most creative or productive, along with the circumstances that led up to those moments. Dr. Wolfram runs Wolfram Research, which is deeply steeped in data analysis, along with Wolfram Alpha , a computational search engine that provides many answers for Siri, the personal assistant for Apple’s 4S. Computers are good at spotting patterns, and Dr. Wolfram thought an analysis of his own personal data might reveal patterns in his life — for example, when he was most likely to come up with new ideas, “preferably good ones.”

Facebook Kills Social Roulette, The App With A 1/6 Chance Of Deleting Your Facebook Account
If you want a digital detox, you’re going to have to pull the trigger yourself. Social Roulette is an app that would delete one in six users’ Facebook account data, but its founder confirms it’s been blocked by Facebook so it no longer functions. While there’s no specific policy prohibiting apps from deleting your data, Social Roulette is clearly counter to Facebook’s mission and business model.I met you first at a Kinko’s in 1996. All those copies – seems a bit wasteful now.

Cloud computing today typically means that we have to hand over our data to big companies who decide which features they give us (and sometimes force on us), and who can and do unilaterally change their terms of service on us whenever they like.

Réutilisation des données personnelles (1/4) : Rendre leurs données aux utilisateurs
Par Hubert Guillaud le 19/06/12 | 9 commentaires | 2,000 lectures | Impression A l’occasion d’un voyage d’études organisé par la Fing dans le cadre de son projet MesInfos , nous avons rencontré des acteurs du projet britannique MiData . Dans le même esprit que MesInfos, le projet MiData engage plusieurs grandes organisations vers le partage des données personnelles entre les organisations et les individus que ces données concernent. La baseline de ces deux projets pourrait être la même : “Si vous savez quelque chose sur moi, alors je dois le savoir aussi et faire ce que je veux de cette information”. D’où vient exactement ce projet ambitieux ? Pourquoi s’engager ainsi sur cette voie de la réutilisation des données personnelles ?Le ministère de la santé ne pourra pas longtemps rester sourd à la demande de transparence sur les données de santé publique en France. La pétition lancée, jeudi 24 janvier, par des associations de consommateurs ou de défense des patients et déjà signée par des professeurs de médecine , des économistes ou des chercheurs pour réclamer la "libéralisation" de l'immense base d'informations collectées depuis des décennies par l'Assurance-maladie ne peut rester lettre morte.
