SaneBox: Email Management Tool Review | Inc.com - 0 views

  • It's like Gmail's Priority Inbox feature in that it looks at your messages and prior history engaging with those senders and decides which emails you're likely to deem most important.
  • Priority Inbox is trainable in this way, as well; the more you move stuff around, the better it gets at categorization. But I prefer SaneBox.
  • SaneBox gives you a custom dashboard including a timeline that graphs how many important and less important emails you get every day. My current average, according to SaneBox, is 81 a day. If I took a minute to read, digest, and respond to each one of them, that's nearly an hour and a half a day going through email. If you figure there's at least 250 work days in a year, I'm spending 375 hours annually on email. That's not acceptable.

  • And it also has a nifty feature that lets you CC or BCC a message to @SaneBox.com to remind you if someone doesn't respond.
  • SaneBox also creates an @SaneRemindMe folder that lets you keep track of all the messages to which you still need replies. Use oneweek@SaneBox.com, June5@SaneBox.com or 5minutes@SaneBox.com; it doesn't matter, SaneBox will figure out the time frame you need.

Google's Sergey Brin: smartphones are 'emasculating' | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • Smartphones are "emasculating" – at least according to Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, who explained his view while addressing an audience wearing a computer headset that made him look slightly like a technological pirate.
  • Brin suggested that the way people today use their smartphones was unappealing.
  • "When we started Google 15 years ago," Brin said, "my vision was that information would come to you as you need it. You wouldn't have to search query at all."
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • At the website BoingBoing, the suggestion was that Google Glass would need an appropriately named version of the Android mobile operating system – whose robot-themed icon has pleased many geeks. But each version is named after a dessert (Frozen Yogurt, Jelly Bean) – insufficiently manly, suggested Rob Beschizza.
  • "My vision when we started Google 15 years ago was that eventually you wouldn't have to have a search query at all – the information would just come to you as you needed it," he said. Glass, added Brin, "is the first form factor that can deliver that vision". He said it had improved radically in the past two years since its first versions, which he said were "like a cellphone [mobile phone] strapped to your head".

  • Google representatives are to be summoned to appear before European data protection officials over concerns about the way it collects data on web users.
  • On Thursday, a coalition of 30 data protection officials, including Britain's information commissioner, demanded "significant progress" from Google before the summer
  • The authorities are concerned about changes Google introduced to its privacy policies in March last year. The changes were made to "unify" how information is collected across approximately 60 products, including YouTube GoogleMail, Google has said.

  • Internet in računalnike v nasprotju s splošnim prepričanjem več uporabljajo odrasli kot mladostniki. Najstniki veliko manj dostopajo do interneta in tam preživijo tudi manj časa kot odrasli. Raziskave so pokazale, da najstniki preživijo na internetu povprečno 303 minut mesečno, odrasle osebe pa kar 728 minut. Najstniki jih prehitevajo le po uporabi različnih spletnih strani. Medtem ko fante najbolj privlačijo igre, izdelava strani ter presnemavanje programske opreme in glasbe, dekleta internet uporabljajo v bolj praktične namene. Ukvarjajo se z zbiranjem online periodike, pošiljajo elektronske čestitke, uporabljajo ga za izdelavo domačih nalog in kot komunikacijsko sredstvo.
  • Z internetom se je seznanilo že 86,1 odstotka slovenskih srednješolcev, preostanek pa z njim še ni imel stika. Vendar je internet pri srednješolcih še vedno medij, ki mu je namenjeno najmanj poudarka in tudi časa.

  • Povprečna uporaba interneta med dijaki je 0,4 ure dnevno oziroma pol ure med vikendi, iz česar sledi, da slovenski dijaki na mesec preždijo na svetovnem spletu povprečno kar 768 minut.
  • V primerjavi z drugimi mediji so na internetu najbolj zanimive informacije o - internetu, saj 46,9 odstotka anketiranih informacije o tej problematiki pobira z interneta. Sledi mu računalništvo s 34,7 odstotka ter komunikacije s 33,4 odstotka.
  • Spletne strani imajo po mnenju dijakov precej prednosti pred tiskanimi stranmi, saj jih 63 odstotkov meni, da imajo večjo možnost izbire tem ter iskanja povezav in dopolnilnih informacij, natančnosti informacij pa dajejo enakovredno mesto s tiskanimi stranmi.
  • Dostop do interneta dijakom še vedno krojijo starši, predvsem tistim, ki imajo možnost dostopa na internet od doma. Več kot četrtini, 27,4 odstotka, so starši že prepovedali uporabo interneta. 19,2 odstotka si je takšen vzgojni ukrep prislužilo, ker so predolgo viseli na internetu, 8,1 pa, ker se starši niso strinjali z načinom uporabe.

  • Scientists at Toshiba and Cambridge University have perfected a technique that offers a less expensive way to ensure the security of the high-speed fiber optic cables that are the backbone of the modern Internet.
  • But they will also be valuable for protecting financial data and ultimately all information transmitted over the Internet.
  • The approach is based on quantum physics, which offers the ability to exchange information in a way that the act of eavesdropping on the communication would be immediately apparent.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Modern optical data networking systems increase capacity by transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously in different colors of light. The Toshiba-Cambridge system sends the quantum information over the same fiber, but isolates it in its own frequency.
  • “By measuring the error rate in the secret key, we can determine whether there has been any eavesdropping in the fiber and in that way directly test the secrecy of each key.”

  • 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,"

  • To illustrate an example of information misuse, it's worth recounting the alarming experience of a work colleague at the hands of Facebook. Someone he did not know took his name and set up a Facebook page purporting to be his, along with a photo and several intimate details, some true, some false.

  • Why has the Internet changed so little?
  • The Internet Age was meant to change everything - internationalism, commerce, journalism, government - all would be transformed, made equal and boundless by the click. It's time to admit this has simply failed to happen, and what is more interesting than the bad forecasting is the reason that they seemed so tempting in the first place.
  • More generally, the global medium of the internet would shrink the universe, promote dialogue between nations, and foster global understanding. In brief, the internet would be an unstoppable force: like the invention of print and gunpowder, it would change society permanently and irrevocably.

  • 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

  • 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.

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.

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.
