Bill Would Keep Big Brother’s Mitts Off Your GPS Data | Danger Room The reauthorization of the Patriot Act looks like a forgone conclusion. But next month, a bipartisan band of legislators will try to mitigate a different kind of damage done to civil liberties: the government’s warrantless collection of location data beamed out by your car or mobile phone. The courts aren’t sure whether so-called “geolocation” data taken from GPS devices or cellphones is covered by the Fourth Amendment, as Wired.com’s blog Threat Level has extensively reported. That ambiguity has largely enabled law enforcement to snatch it up without getting a warrant or showing probable cause. Sen. “GPS devices are everywhere and that’s a good thing,” Chaffetz tells Wired.com. A bill they’ve collaborated to draft prevents the government from getting tracking data sent by your smartphone, GPS unit or other device — including any “successor device,” a nod to as-yet-unimagined tech — without a court order. Chaffetz and Wyden plan to introduce the bill the week of June 15. And how.
Network News Art School The last explosive change in art education came nearly a century ago, when the German Bauhaus was formed. Today, dramatic changes in the art world—its increasing professionalization, the pervasive power of the art market, and fundamental shifts in art-making itself in our post-Duchampian era—combined with a revolution in information technology, raise fundamental questions about the education of today's artists. Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century) brings together more than thirty leading international artists and art educators to reconsider the practices of art education in academic, practical, ethical, and philosophical terms. The essays in the book range over continents, histories, traditions, experiments, and fantasies of education. Questionnaires: Thomas Bayrle, Paul Chan, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Piero Golia, Ann Hamilton, Matthew Higgs, Mike Kelley, Guillermo Kuitca, Shirin Neshat, Paul Ramírez-Jonas, Dana Schutz, Brian Sholis, Fred Wilson
Who Really Invented Rock n Roll Little Richard once said, "The blues had an illegitimate baby and we named it rock 'n' roll." This is a fair and clever summary of what happened between 1949 and 1954, when black and white musical traditions cross-educated each other, and then disc jockey Alan Freed popularized the phrase "rock and roll," which was black slang for having sex. Now along comes Rolling Stone magazine, huckstering a commercial myth to sell magazines, get advertising, and make a buck. Along the way, they falsify and simplify the history of America's music. The current issue, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the creation of rock 'n' roll and is stuffed with advertisements, declares that Elvis Presley invented the music. This is revisionist history as a marketing gimmick. No one person started rock 'n' roll. Presley himself never claimed to have invented rock 'n' roll. In his remarkable biography of Mr. These records, purchased by the young Elvis, included "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" by Lloyd Price. Mr.
Automática Editorial Righthaven files emergency appeal to block auction - Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011 | 5:01 p Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas newspaper copyright lawsuit company, filed an emergency appeal Tuesday to block an auction of its copyrights — an auction Righthaven says is aimed at dismantling the company, even though the copyrights are “allegedly suspect.” A federal judge in Las Vegas last week granted Righthaven defendant Wayne Hoehn’s motion that Righthaven turn its intellectual property — including copyrights — over to a receiver so they could be auctioned. Hoehn wants them auctioned because Righthaven owes him $63,720 for his legal expenses in defeating Righthaven’s copyright infringement lawsuit against him — one of 275 such suits Righthaven filed since March 2010 over Las Vegas Review-Journal and Denver Post material. Any money raised in the auction would be applied toward the debt to Hoehn. Righthaven, in Tuesday’s appeal to the 9th U.S. Righthaven reiterated claims it has been unable to obtain a bond. It’s unknown when the 9th Circuit will rule on the emergency request.
Ganan las finanzas, pierde la economía real: el futuro ya está aquí - Desde Londres Durante las últimas décadas se ha venido produciendo un cambio en las economías occidentales. Del capitalismo industrial se ha pasado al financiero , de la preeminencia de la actividad productiva a la crediticia y de mercados. Acaba de concluir su primera fase que ha implicado la casi desaparición de la economía “real” en favor de la financiera y la concentración de poder en reducidas manos de este sector. Ahora, con esta crisis, se está entrando en la segunda fase de esta transformación, la de la total ocupación de los fondos públicos. Primero, a través del miedo . Empecemos por el descenso de los costes salariales . Sigamos con el déficit público . Entre los miembros de esta Comisión hay ex vicepresidentes de la FED, ex directivos de Morgan Stanley y profesionales de perfil similar. Se busca convencer a los ciudadanos de que la situación actual no permite el déficit del Estado, que son inviables las estructuras públicas de pensiones o de salud.
