Sur les traces de la PirateBox Échanger des fichiers librement, surfer sur le web en contournant la vigie Hadopi, c'est ce que propose la PirateBox, créée par David Darts, professeur à l'université de New York. Une lunch box punk en mode WiFi & DIY. Passer un week-end à la campagne a du bon : rien de tel qu’une randonnée pour entretenir vos muscles et voir les effets de la rurbanisation. Se mettre au vert, c’est aussi l’occasion d’un apéro au cours duquel vos amis vous soufflent votre prochain sujet de post. Samedi soir, c’est donc au pote/DJ/producteur de drum n’bass-dubstep Jean Zar de délivrer le précieux mot clé : PirateBox. Les corsaires du XVIIIe siècle auraient pu se cantonner aux cours de récré si leurs aspirations ne nourrissaient pas aussi celles des adultes. Hadopi, muse des hackers ? Intéressons-nous à Bey. Comme Gibson et Sterling, je ne pense pas que le Net officiel parviendra un jour à interrompre le Web ou le contre-Net. Une arme ? Elle revient à moins de 100 euros Le savoir, j’y ai droit !

Protesters Interrupt Obama to Sing Support for Bradley Manning | Threat Level Updated at 4:10 p.m to identify the female protester who led the song. Protesters supporting WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning managed to infiltrate a private fundraiser for President Barack Obama on Thursday morning in San Francisco, interrupting his remarks with a song. As Obama was speaking at the $5,000-a-plate breakfast fundraiser, California activist Naomi Pitcairn (above), sitting at one of the tables, began humming and singing a modified version of the song "Where's Our Change?", decrying Manning's treatment in prison. Pitcairn removed her blazer and shirt to reveal a T-shirt with a picture of the young Army intelligence analyst who is suspected of leaking a massive cache of classified and sensitive documents to the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks. As the rest of the group at Pitcairn's table joined in with her song, they held up signs that read "Free Bradley Manning". "Each of us brought you $5,000 – we'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true. Dear Mr. Photo: Logan Price
Ten Mindful Ways to Use Social Media For the last two years, I have provided a daily wisdom quote through a Twitter account called Tiny Buddha. Since the follower count has grown by leaps and bounds, people have suggested I tweet more often throughout the day. I’ve realized, however, that the greatest lesson we can all learn is that less is enough. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 10. Le citoyen augmenté par les réseaux sociaux Canevas de mon intervention lors de la journée Marseille 2.0, dernière conférence avant ma déconnexion totale. Churchill ne s’est pas trompé Nous avons tous en tête la fameuse citation selon laquelle la démocratie serait la moins pire des formes politiques. La plupart des gens en déduisent que nous devrions nous en contenter et ils refusent d’entamer la moindre réflexion politique qui questionne la démocratie. Cette citation sans cesse répétée a un effet inhibiteur. Mais qu’a exactement déclaré Churchill le 11 novembre 1947 devant la Chambre des Communes : Democracy is the worst form of government –except for all those other forms, that have been tried from time to time. Churchill n’a pas fermé la porte à l’innovation. La démocratie représentative Elle est à ma connaissance la seule forme de démocratie jamais expérimentée. La démocratie telle que je viens de l’esquisser n’est qu’une évolution sommaire de la monarchie, une monarchie tournante. La démocratie ne favorise pas l’intelligence

We Are the 99 Percent 14th October 2013 Question with 172 notes Anonymous asked: How can you claim to speak for 99% of people? We don’t claim to speak for anyone, we merely present stories. 14th October 2013 Photo with 186 notes I am 23 years old I am a female (not that it should make a difference, but apparently in our society it does…) From the day I moved out of my parent’s house, I’ve supported myself 100%, not because they don’t love me but because they can’t support my dreams financially. For over two years I schlepped 2-for-1’s and shots to pay for my rent, a used car, and tuition at a community college. Now I’m attending the University of MN and I depleted all of my savings just so I wouldn’t have to take out a loan this semester. I’m majoring in journalism, a profession I consider a civic duty.

The Three C’s of Social Networking: Consumption, Curation, Creation Over the years, social networks have lured us from the confines of our existing realities into a new genre of digital domains that not only captivated us, but fostered the creation of new realities. As George Bernard Shaw observed, “Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.” Such is true for social networks and the digital persona and resulting experiences we create and cultivate.
