Does Facebook have a problem with women? | Life and style | The Guardian - 0 views

  • Facebook insists there's no place on its site for hate speech or content that is threatening or incites violence. So why do images that seem to glorify rape and domestic violence keep appearing?
  • users taking to Twitter in recent weeks to express their anger at Facebook's refusal to remove images that tried to make a joke of rape.
  • One showed a woman bound and gagged on a sofa and a caption that read: "It's not rape. If she really didn't want to, she'd have said something." The second showed a condom, beneath the words "Plan A"; an emergency contraceptive pill, "Plan B"; and then "Plan C", a man pushing a woman with a bloodied face down the stairs.

  • Over the past few years, women say they have been banned from the site and seen their pages removed for posting images of cupcakes iced like labia, pictures of breastfeeding mothers and photographs of women post-mastectomy.
  • Yet images currently appearing on the site include a joke about raping a disabled child, a joke about sex with an underage girl and image after image after image of women beaten, bloodied and black-eyed in graphic domestic violence "jokes".
  • There are countless groups with names such as "Sum sluts need their throats slit" and "Its Not 'rape' If They're Dead And If They're Alive Its Surprise Sex".
  • "Daddy f*cked me and I loved it"
  • A Facebook spokesperson insisted: "There is no place on Facebook for hate speech or content that is threatening or incites violence."
  • "We take reports of questionable and offensive content very seriously," said the Facebook spokesperson. "However, we also want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others. Groups or pages that express an opinion on a state, institution, or set of beliefs – even if that opinion is outrageous or offensive to some – do not by themselves violate our policies."
  • Each image normalises gender-based violence, sending the message to both victims and perpetrators that ours is a culture that doesn't take it seriously.
  • Facebook clearly accepts representations of some forms of violence, namely violence against women, as qualitatively different from others."
  • The Facebook spokesperson said: "It's not Facebook's job to define what is acceptable.
  • "You have a choice to have sex, I have the choice to rape you.""If you don't stop giving me shit I'll pay four of my friends to gang rape you.""Go ahead, call the cops – they can't un-rape you.""The only reason you have been put on this planet is so we can fuck you. Please die."

Zračenja iz mobitela i antena uništavaju našu DNK i stvaraju rak | 2012 Trans... - 0 views

  • Za sve one koji negativni utjecaj iz elektroničkih uređaja smatraju običnom teorijom zavjere bez ikakve veze s istinom donosimo najnovija znanstvena otkrića koja pokazuju vezu između novootkrivenih svojstava deoksiribonukleinske kiseline i bežičnih tehnologija.
  • DNK ima dvije strukturalne karakteristike fraktalnih antena: elektroničku kondukciju i samo-simetriju.
  • Kada se DNK našla u doticaju s EMF-om i RF-om, prvo su se pojavili visoki nivoi stresnih proteina u heliskima DNK, a nakon toga su znanstvenici promatrali kako se spirale DNK razdvajaju i raspadaju. Drugim riječima ne-ionizrajuće zračenje uništava ljudsku DNK.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Ljudska DNK je najburnije reagirala na ELF-ove (extreme low frequencies) ili radio valove ekstremno niske frekvencije, iako su efekti slični kao i s drugim oblicima RF i EMF zračenja, u slučaju ELF-ova reakcije su postajale puno kompleksnije.
  • povećanje različitih vrsta zračenja siguran razlog u povećanju kancerogene epidemiologije
  • povećanje broja kancerogenih oboljenja možemo zahvaliti različitim zračenjima iz okoliša koja su oštetila i još uvijek oštećuju našu DNK.
  • za 40% povećava rizik od dobivanja raka mozga u slučaju da korisnici provedu telefonirajući više od 1640 sati. U neovisnom istraživanju iz 2007., godine, koje je obavio tim iz Švedske je otkriveno kako se za 540% povećava rizik od dobivanja raka ako se mobilni telefoni koriste više od 2000 sati.
  • Svijet se treba osloboditi od mobilne telefonije, ne samo da je ova tehnologija opasna, ona je smrtonosna. Biološki učinak mobilnih telefona na ljudsko tijelo ne leži u jakosti signala već u njegovoj eratičnoj prirodi koja uništava rezonancu DNK i njenu mogućnost obnavljanja. Ovo je i najjednostavniji razlog zašto mobilna tehnologija stvara kancerogena oboljenja.
  • Izraelski znanstvenici su preko 30 godina istraživali povećanje tumora na parotidnoj žlijezdi, između 1970-te i 2006-te godine broj tumora se povećao za 400%.
  • dr. Siegal Sadetcki, glavni istražitelj senata SAD-a, je uspio identificirati glavnog krivca za tumore zaušne žlijezde. U njegovom izvješću stoji kako su mobilni telefoni glavni i najčešći krivci za: 34% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi na regularnoj bazi u vremenu od pet godina. 58% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi s više od 5500 poziva za vrijeme ljudskog života. 49% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi za više od 266,3 sata za vrijeme ljudskog života.
  • 03.05.2011., godine, WHO i IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) ili Internacionalna agencija za istraživanja raka, su priznale kako mobilna telefonija zaista uzrokuje rak, te su zračenje iz mobilnih telefona stavili u 2B rizičnu skupinu za ljude.
  • U istraživanju koje je objavljeno 2008., godine je otkriveno kako su trudnice i njihova nerođena djeca posebno osjetljiva na zračenje iz mobitela. Znanstvenici su analizirali 13 tisuća djece i otkrili su kako je zračenje iz bežične tehnologije uzrokovalo brojne probleme za vrijeme trudnoće te da je na koncu povećalo rizik od poremećaja koji izazivaju hiperaktivnost, nedostatak pažnje, probleme s emocijama, stvaranjem i održavanjem veza s ljudima i druge bihevioralne anomalije. Rizik je postajao još veći ako su djeca koristila mobilne telefone prije navršene sedme godine života. Sve trudnice koje su koristile mobilne telefone su imale 54% povećan rizik od različitih fizičkih i psihičkih anomalija u zdravlju i razvoju njihove djece.
  • U nedavnim istraživanjima se potvrdilo kako su djeca, pa čak i ona nerođena u najvećoj opasnosti od zračenja uzrokovanog bežičnom tehnologijom i mobilnim telefonima.
  • osobe koje su počele koristiti mobitel kao tinejdžeri imaju 400-500% veću mogućnost od razvijanja raka mozga u dobi od 20-te do 30-te godine.
  • U znanstvenom istraživanju koje je objavljeno 2009., godine se pokazalo kako nošenje mobitela u džepu hlača uništava kosti karlice, točnije stvara osteoporozu. Muškarci koji su nosili mobitele okačene o opasač ili unutar džepa od hlača su unutar šest godina ove prakse izgubili gustoću kostiju karlice.
  • RF-EMR (radio frekvencije i elektromagnetsko zračenje) bez obzira na jakost i frekvenciju mobilnih telefona, uništava mitohondrijsku generaciju kisika unutar ljudskih spermija, na taj se način smanjuje njihova pokretljivost, dok s druge strane uništava DNK i fragmentira je. Ovo istraživanje ima jasnu implikaciju o tome koliko je opasno korištenje mobilnih telefona za muškarce koji imaju namjeru imati djecu. Mobiteli potencijalno utječu na plodnost muškaraca i zdravlje njihovih potomaka.

Kako internet i nove tehnologije utječu na pažnju i koncentraciju kod djece? ... - 0 views

  • Nema uopće sumnje da nove tehnologije, predvođene internetom, oblikuju naše razmišljanje i načine na koje razmišljamo. Ponekad se to događa vidno i neposredno, gotovo namjerno, a ponekad suptilno i slučajno.

  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Tehnologija utječe na stvaranje drugačijih veza i drugačije povezivanje informacija u dječjem mozgu nego što je to bilo kod prošlih generacija.
  • Ono što je jasno znanstvenicima je da svaki napredak tijekom povijesti, odnosno nova dostupna tehnologija određuje kako će se razvijati mozak kod ljudi.
  • Hoće li tehnologija pomoći ili odmoći razvoju vašeg djeteta i načinima na koje razmišlja, ovisi koju specifičnu tehnologiju koristi, koliko često i na koji način.
  • Osim na usvajanje informacija, donošenje odluka i pamćenje (učenje), nove tehnologije imaju najveći utjecaj na pažnju kod djece.
  • U starijim generacijama, primjerice, djeca su veliki dio vremena posvećivala čitanju, a to je aktivnost u kojoj nema puno odvlačenja pažnje te zahtijeva intenzivnu i postojanu pažnju, maštu i pamćenje. Tu pažnju prekinula je televizija koja je novoj generaciji djece ponudila vizualnu stimulaciju, a za uzvrat tražila rascjepkanu pažnju i gotovo nikakvu maštu. Internet generacija s razvojem tehnologije našla se pred novim izazovima. Potpuno nova virtualna okolina djeci je ponudila svijet u kojem je odvlačenje pažnje na sve strane gotovo norma. Postojana pažnja je nemoguća, mašta je potpuno nepotrebna, a pamćenje ograničeno.
  • tehnologija uvjetuje mozgu da pažnju pridaje informacijama na potpuno drugačiji način od čitanja.
  • Čitanje knjige je poput ronjenja tijekom kojeg je osoba uvučena u tihi, vizualno ograničeni svijet, u kojem vrijeme prolazi sporije i bez nekih većih prekida pažnje. Rezultat je ravnomjerna pažnja i fokus te duboko razmišljanje o ograničenom broju primljenih informacija. S druge strane, korištenje interneta je poput jet-skija tijekom kojeg skijaš skija po površini velikom brzinom, izložen je širokom rasponu prizora, okružen mnogim distrakcijama i ne može se ozbiljnije fokusirati ni na jednu informaciju.
  • Studije su potvrdile da čitanje neprekinutog, ujednačenog teksta rezultira bržim završavanjem i boljim razumijevanjem, boljim prisjećanjem pročitanog i učenjem, u uskoredbi s čitanjem teksta koji je prošaran hiperlinkovima, oglasima i drugim ukrasima kakve nalazimo u tekstovima na internetu. Isto vrijedi i za prezentacije.
  • Još jedna studija pokazala je da su djeca koja su tijekom nastave imala pristup internetu zaboravila o čemu je bila tema predavanja i slabije su riješili testove od vršnjaka koji nisu tijekom nastave bili online.
  • Neka druga istraživanja pokazuju da, primjerice, neke video igrice i drugi sadržaji poboljšavaju vizualno-spacijalne sposobnosti, vrijeme reakcije na podržaje i sposobnost da se uoči detalj i izdvoji ono što je važno. Tehnologija djecu ne čini glupljima, već drugačijima.
  • Dok vrijeme ne pokaže kako će nove tehnologije i ubrazani razvoj promijeniti način razmišljanja kod naše djece, ono što roditelji mogu je dozirati stara i nova okruženja u odrastanju djece. Djeci treba ograničiti vrijeme provedeno pred ekranom i poticati ih na aktivnosti poput čitanja, maštanja i slobodne nestrukturirane igre.

We click and clack and turn and toss in an “ecosystem of interruption technologies.”   We become less able to think deeply, to encompass ambiguities, nuances, to hold with a single thought and parse it out.

Microsoft fined €561m for 'browser choice' error | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • Microsoft has been fined €561m by the European commission for failing to give users a choice of web browser when they logged into Windows computers in Europe between May 2011 and July 2012 – breaking a binding commitment it had made in 2009.
  • Microsoft made a five-year commitment in 2009 to offer users a choice of different browsers, after the EC's competition commission determined that the combination of its dominance on the desktop – where Windows runs around 95% of machines – gave the pre-installed Internet Explorer browser an unfair advantage over rivals
  • The commission implemented the "browser choice" system to create a level playing field - and said that once in use, it was very effective: "The choice screen was very successful with users," Joaquín Almunia, the competition commissioner, said in a statement. "For example, until November 2010, 84 million browsers were downloaded through it."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "We provided the commission with a complete and candid assessment of the situation, and we have taken steps to strengthen our software development and other processes to help avoid this mistake – or anything similar – in the future."
  • Microsoft said it took "full responsibility" for the technical error that caused the problem and that it had apologised for it.
  • ource close to Microsoft explained: "It was a single line in the code that triggered the browser choice program. It had a list of versions of Windows to test against: if the version was found in that list, the program would run. They didn't include Service Pack 1, which is effectively a different version of Windows, in that list. And so the program didn't run.

Kdaj hitri internet tudi v Sloveniji | MLADINA.si - 1 views

  • Kakšna so prihodnja pota interneta? Nedvomno zelo hitra, saj najnovejše tehnologije omogočajo že enormne hitrosti prenosa podatkov po internetnih hrbtiščih. Najnovejša transevropska povezava GEANT, ki so jo z 80 milijoni evrov požegnali tudi evropski komisarji, v katero bo vključeno 30 evropskih držav (med njimi tudi Slovenija), bo delovala s hitrostjo 2,5 Gbit/s, v prihodnosti pa naj bi jo nadgradili kar na 100 Gbit/s.
  • Onstran luže sicer še vedno prevladujejo kabelski modemi, predvsem zaradi ugodne cene neomejenega dostopa do interneta, ki znaša okoli 40 dolarjev na mesec. Toda že v nekaj letih naj bi ADSL postavil kabelske modeme na stranski tir. Toda v Evropi se ga telekomi bolj ali manj otepajo, saj naj bi precej omajal njihove mogočne položaje, ki so jih pridobili z dolgoletnim monopolom.
  • "Kabelski modemi imajo problem, da če se nabere preveč ljudi, začenjajo padati hitrosti. Uporabniki si delijo frekvenčni pas po istem sistemu kot lokalne mreže Ethernet. Iz tega pasu, ki ga lahko da kabel, se izreže neki frekvenčen pas in nanj so vezani "radijski" modemi. Vsi naenkrat, in lahko pride do konfliktov. Hitrosti pri preveliki obremenitvi začnejo padati in ta zadeva ni neomejena. V primerjavi z ISDN pa je zadeva cenovno še precej ugodna, saj si priključen 24 ur dnevno,"
