The evolution of the web - 0 views

  •  
    "The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible. Over time web technologies have evolved to give web developers the ability to create new generations of useful and immersive web experiences. Today's web is a result of the ongoing efforts of an open web community that helps define these web technologies, like HTML5, CSS3 and WebGL and ensure that they're supported in all web browsers."

The Filter Bubble - 0 views

  • disable the “tracking cookies” that are a common way for ad networks to learn about you:
  • 2. Erase your web history. Those who remember their web history are doomed to repeat it. Much of Google’s search personalization (though not all) is powered by your web history
  • Never tell Facebook anything you don’t want the whole Web (and world) to know about you. To add additional protections, set your Facebook privacy settings all the way up.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • As it turns out, one of the most common “keys” for identifying particular people is your birthday
  • y the same token, always using “firstnamelastname” as a username also makes it easy for companies to match data about you from many different websites.
  • Turn off targeted ads, and tell the stalking sneakers to buzz off. If you’d rather not be followed around the internet by merchandise you’re vaguely interested in, the major ad networks offer a relatively easy opt-out. You can quickly alert many of them in one place here (this is a voluntary restriction, so undoubtedly there are other ad networks that don’t abide by these rules.)
  • This one’s easy: most recent browsers have a “private browsing” or “incognito” mode that turns off history tracking, hides your cookies (and deletes the new ones when you close the window), and logs you out from sites like Google and Facebook
  • Sites like Torproject.org and Anonymizer.com allow you to run all of your browser traffic through their servers, effectively removing some of the signals that come through when you’re in incognito mode.
  • As it turns out, every request to download a web page reveals a lot about how your computer is configured — and many of those configurations are unique. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) makes it easy to see how unique your settings are here. And they give some good guidelines on how to make your settings harder to track here.

    "So you want to pop your filter bubble - to see the neutral, un-filtered, un-personalized web. How do you go about it? Unfortunately, there are no magic bullets: The ad companies and personal data vendors that power and profit from personalization are far more technologically advanced than most of the tools for controlling your personal data. That's why The Filter Bubble calls on companies and governments to change the rules they operate by - without those changes, it's simply not possible to escape targeting and personalization entirely. But that doesn't mean all is lost. Here are 10 simple steps you can take to de-personalize your web experience. They won't work forever, but for now they'll take you out of your own personal echo chamber."

Chrome Experiments - Home - 0 views

  •  
    We think JavaScript is awesome. We also think browsers are awesome. Together, they can do some beautiful, magical, crazy things. And that's why we created this website. Chrome Experiments is a showcase for creative web experiments, the vast majority of which are built with the latest open technologies, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and WebGL. All of them were made and submitted by talented artists and programmers from around the world. We hope the projects on this site provide inspiration for anyone interested in experimenting creatively with the web. And we hope they show how the web has become faster, more fun, and more open - the same spirit in which we built Google Chrome. All of the work here is user-submitted, so naturally we're looking for more. If you've made something fun and fast in JavaScript, please send it in. We can't post everything, but we'd love to see it. Thanks for visiting, and happy experimenting.

Anonymous' Megaupload Revenge Shows Copyright Compromise Isn't Possible - Technology - ... - 0 views

  •  
    "Anonymous' devious and speedy campaign to undermine the defenders of copyright yesterday served both as revenge for the loss of Megaupload and a demonstration of the futility of trying to police the Wild West of the Internet. Within minutes of the Justice Department's triumphant announcement about the seizing of the massive file-sharing site, their own website was taken offline by a massive denial of service attack. The Web presences of the FBI, the MPAA, the RIAA, and several entertainment corporations involved in the case soon followed, as those tasked with protecting the Web from piracy were once again unable to protect themselves.
