  • Health consumers are increasingly shopping online for doctors through peer-based sites like FindADoc.com, DoctorScorecard.com, and even local city search sites
  • Reese says that about half his new patients find him through sites like Yelp, a social networking site that has a section where users can share their experiences about doctors.
  • After being misdiagnosed with a rare, fatal lymphoma, she urges patients to search several different review sites.

  • There's no doubt that doctors can procure positive reviews from friends, relatives, or even patients. So Victor checked to make sure the reviewers had written about other doctors or topics and weren't just online to rave about Reese. Victor ended up giving Dr. Reese a try and writing a favorable review himself.

      (IT systems: communication system): the idea that 90% of the pharmacies advertising online through the internet are fake and illegal , and is providing people with a unreliable communication system.
  • "We were able to purchase potentially addictive drugs without a prescription or any age verification via Bing.com ads," LegitScript President John Horton told CNET News. "We also received counterfeit medication. Microsoft profits from these illegal ads, which put Internet users at risk."

  • Microsoft disputes LegitScript's claim that 90 percent of the sponsored Internet pharmacy ads on Bing are fake or illegal, adding that it is working to weed out the rogue advertisers that do slip through. The company uses an Internet pharmacy verification service called PharmacyChecker--a competitor of LegitScript--to ensure that its sponsored prescription drug advertisements are legitimate.

  • The technique, called highly predictive blacklisting, uses data from past attacks to create a network-type graph out of the pattern of links between victims . It then runs a Google PageRank type algorithm for each victim looking for the most relevant attackers.

Apple + iPad + Huxley = Orwellian nightmare (Guardian) - 1 views

    "WATCHING STEVE JOBS unveil the Apple iPad, what came to mind was something that Neil Postman, the most influential media critic since Marshall McLuhan, once said. Our future possibilities, Postman thought, lay on a spectrum bounded by George Orwell at one end, and by Aldous Huxley at the other: Orwell because he believed that we would be destroyed by the things we fear; Huxley because he thought that we would be undone by the things we love. As the internet went mainstream, the Orwellian nightmare has evolved into a realistic possibility, because of the facilities the network offers for the comprehensive surveillance so vividly evoked in 1984. Governments everywhere have helped themselves to powers to read every email or text you've ever sent. And that's just the democracies; authoritarian regimes are far more intrusive."
