Last week I shared with you the examples of disinformation in the unfunny recent Cracked.Com parody of Walt Disney giving a TED Talk. I only got through a fraction of the video before I reached 2,000 words! So I went back to the video (I sacrificed so you don't have to watch it) and found even more examples of the type of disinformation that the Left makes up to try and destroy Walt Disney. Here are four more of them, along with rebuttals based in fact.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition of Palestinian civil society organisations that leads the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, has condemned the Canadian government's ramped up disinformation campaign and repressive measures against the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights.
They are currently discussing whether to combine armies with Lithuania and Poland. This vast force increase will provide equipment and personnel to cover Kiev's heavy losses in the war Poroshenko is waging in Donbass. I don't know what combining armies with NATO member countries will ultimately mean. I do know that both countries are very close to following in Ukraine's Ultra-National footsteps internally because of pressure from their own nationalist diasporas.
The policy applies to school system employees who post on the following: Social networking websites (including, but not limited to, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook), blogs, Wikis (including, but not limited to, Wikipedia) and other websites and message boards.
The available range of tools also resembles those found in web content management solutions. Enterprise social networks all include wikis, blogs and similar website type widgets. T
The Wikimedia Foundation has just announced that it has reached a settlement with new media company Internet Brands to put a stop to all litigation between the two parties concerning the creation and recent launch of free wiki travel site Wikivoyage.
The identities of the feminist editors weren't specified in the article, and with good cause: They didn't exist. At no time in the entire case were there "five feminist editors" up for a ban. But understandable outrage at the supposed misogynist move blew up on the Internet. And more stories followed-in Gawker, Raw Story, the Mary Sue, Inquisitr, and ThinkProgress-all sourcing the Guardian, spreading the myth of the fabled five feminist editors who were the only thing holding off Gamergate's takeover of Wikipedia.
Cybrary.it, the free cybersecurity MOOC program that launched last week in Greenbelt, has already enrolled more than 10,000 students, according to CEO Ralph Sita.
More than 6,500 people have already signed up for the massive open online course being offered by SUNY Buffalo State, the first MOOC administered by a local college.
In 1996, Bill Gates declared that "content is king." Gates was talking about the Internet, and the publishing, creating, and accessing capabilities that came as a result. However, the same has been true in education for a very long time. Education - from elementary to college to corporate learning - has relied on the "sage on the stage" approach: one teacher, explaining content to a class of students. The primary value, often assumed, of the teacher is his or her content knowledge and the ability to transfer this content effectively to the students in the class.
The Samsung example is just the latest privacy-related concern involving smart TVs - many of which routinely require users to agree to having their viewing data sent back to the TV maker and shared by them with advertisers and others simply in order for them to gain access to the service. But the clarity of wording in Samsung's privacy policy is impressive - given it amounts to a warning not to talk about private stuff in front of your telescreen because multiple unknown entities can listen in.
Parks and Recreation has never shied away from addressing real-world topics and the intricacies of geek culture. But a small time jump (this season takes place three years after the last) has given it the ability to comment on our society like true science fiction. And I'm not kidding when I say sci-fi. Everyone on the show now carries transparent smartphones and tablets that have the ability to project holograms (which seems crazy, but it's something that we may see soon). Plus, there are those aforementioned drones flying around and delivering unwanted packages, an obvious play on Amazon's very real, very fantastical drone concept.
