Tecnologia Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Tecnologia (do grego τεχνη — "técnica, arte, ofício" e λογια — "estudo") é um termo que envolve o conhecimento técnico e científico e a aplicação deste conhecimento através de sua transformação no uso de ferramentas, processos e materiais criados e/ou utilizados a partir de tal conhecimento. Dependendo do contexto, a tecnologia pode ser: A tecnologia é, de uma forma geral, o encontro entre ciência e engenharia. Sendo um termo que inclui desde as ferramentas e processos simples, tais como uma colher de madeira e a fermentação da uva, até as ferramentas e processos mais complexos já criados pelo ser humano, tal como a Estação Espacial Internacional e a dessalinização da água do mar.

The Relationship Between Facebook and Privacy: It's Really Complicated: Tech News « The tension between Facebook and its users — and governments, and advocacy groups — over privacy is one of the biggest thorns in the company’s side right now, as it tries to balance the demands of the network (and of advertisers) with the desires of users, and with the law. And all of this is taking place in an environment where the very meaning of what is “private” and what is “public” is being redefined, by Facebook and other online giants such as Google, and even users themselves sometimes can’t decide what information they want to share with the world and what they don’t. Over the past few weeks, the social network has been caught at the center of a privacy maelstrom, with consumer groups attacking it — 15 of them filed a formal letter of complaint with the Federal Trade Commission late yesterday — senators sending threatening letters, and growing numbers of users canceling or deactivating their accounts over privacy concerns. And privacy?

Internet censorship Internet censorship is the control or suppression of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet. It may be carried out by governments or by private organizations at the behest of government, regulators, or on their own initiative. Individuals and organizations may engage in self-censorship for moral, religious, or business reasons, to conform to societal norms, due to intimidation, or out of fear of legal or other consequences.[1] The extent of Internet censorship varies on a country-to-country basis. While most democratic countries have moderate Internet censorship, other countries go as far as to limit the access of information such as news and suppress discussion among citizens.[1] Internet censorship also occurs in response to or in anticipation of events such as elections, protests, and riots.

Launching a Nonprofit News Site There's been an explosion in the number of nonprofit news sites, and now you're considering joining this exciting movement. Here's a word of caution: You won't just be doing journalism. You will be an employer, a manager, a grants writer, a negotiator and sometimes a bookkeeper. You'll have a steep learning curve. But if you decide to go ahead, you'll be in good company: Scores of enthusiastic and dedicated people have gone before you and formed journalism nonprofits that are carrying out good work. This module sets out to identify the hurdles you'll face and guide you through the process of creating a nonprofit newsroom.

Exclusive: Google, CIA Invest in ‘Future’ of Web Monitoring The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future. The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.” The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down.

Tablet Rumors Multiply as iPad Sales Soar It may have taken a long time for the competition to respond to Apple's iPod and iPhone. Not so with the iPad: All sorts of companies -- Google, Sony and Research in Motion, to name a few -- are sitting up and taking notice of the iPad, thanks to Apple's claim that it sold a million of its tablets in less than a month. Since then, rumors of half-a-dozen new tablets have leaked out. Tablets haven't been this hot since Moses came down from Mount Sinai. But with all the news, there's a lot of confusion. And, so far, none of the tablets are available for purchase, and most haven't even been officially announced.
