Your Privacy Online - What They Know - WSJ.com - 9 views

  •  
    A must-read series on online privacy by the Wall Street Journal.  If you browse the web, if you write email, if you have an ISP you should know about this

    I know we've discussed in class how Google (and other entities) seems to know so much about us, but isn't it a bit naive to assume the opposite? We expose a piece of our private lives in every way: credit cards for example track where we go, where we eat, what we buy, and the like. Even if paying cash at places, we're signing up for list servs, blogs, campaigns, donating to charities that require contact information, filling out surveys. Given this, is it all that surprising that we are being "watched"? I don't think it's possible to function in today's society without exposing much of ourselves (when you want to pay cash somewhere, the bank knows when, where, what time of day you withdrew money), unless we change our names or deliver false information.

In Praise of Copying, CC-licensed book from Harvard Uni Press - Boing Boing - 0 views

  • Although generosity is a wonderful thing, this isn't especially intended as a utopian gesture towards a world in which everything is free. It's recognition of the way in which copies of texts circulate today, a circulation in which the physical object known as the book that is for sale in the marketplace has an important but hardly exclusive role. A PDF of a book is not an illegitimate copy of a legitimate original but participates in other kinds of circulation that have long flourished around the book-commodity: the library book; the photocopy or hand-written copy; the book browsed, borrowed or shared.

    Google Editions launches!  This should be fun to watch.

    Strange how there is no Arts/Culture subject category to browse (film? music? art? photography? painting? dance?), since they have other categories defined...

Goodbye to bricks and mortar - 1 views

  •  
    Jul 4th 2011, 21:43 by E.B. | LONDON TO DESCRIBE the woes of bricks-and-mortar bookstores is to join the dirge-singing chorus. Everyone knows the tune: sales at bookstores have fallen because buyers are ordering books online or downloading them to e-readers. Bookstores may be great places to browse and linger, but online is where the deals are.
