Il problema di multinazionali che vengono percepite come "meno aziendali", più "cool" ed eticamente - quasi spiritualmente - migliori delle altre riguarda molte compagnie associate a Internet in modo tanto stretto da essere identificate con la rete stessa. Un altro caso da manuale è Apple.

Da quando ho letto quell'articolo evito di acquistare da Amazon. Di Apple non riesco a fare a meno, per il momento...

"... Big Data sind vor allem Massen von Informationen, die wie ein digitales Biotop Heerscharen von Propheten hervorbringen, deren Augen bereits in das Morgenrot einer neuen Menschheitsepoche vordringen. Was allerdings auffällt, wenn man sich ein wenig durch den wachsenden Bücher- und Artikelberg zum Thema arbeitet, ist, dass sich die Beispiele für neuartige und spektakuläre Big-Data-Analysen wiederholen. Ganz vorneweg läuft ein Artikel in der Zeitschrift «Nature» aus dem Jahr 2009, der über die Zusammenarbeit von staatlichen Epidemiologen und Google-Mitarbeitern berichtete, die zwischen 2003 und 2008 ein Verfahren zur möglichen Prävention von Grippe-Epidemien entwickelt haben. Sie korrelierten einschlägige Suchmaschinen-Nachfragen nach Grippe-Symptomen, Medikamenten, Antibiotika in bestimmten Regionen mit der Frequenz von Arztbesuchen und stellten damit ein prognostisches Modell für den Verlauf einer Epidemie auf. Zuvor wurden aus mehreren hundert Milliarden Google-Anfragen rund 50 Millionen ausgefiltert, deren Stichworte dem Grippe-Thema zugewiesen werden konnten. Jetzt erlauben es avancierte Rechenverfahren, die Entwicklung einer Seuche beinahe in Echtzeit zu verfolgen und dabei Vorbeugemassnahmen zu treffen. Das Beispiel ist schlagend, vor allem darum, weil es sich unmittelbar ins Reich des Menschheitsheils fügt. Wer will künftig seine Google-Anfragen noch unter Datenschutz stellen, wenn es doch - das oberste Pathosregister ist hier am Platze - um das Leben von Tausenden geht? Die übrigen Beispiele, die die Big-Data-Literatur zur Verfügung stellt, fallen eher in das Feld des smarten Kommerzes. Dass Jeff Bezos, der Gründer von Amazon, seine Bücher nicht von Kritikern anpreisen lässt, sondern den Kunden immer wieder Bücher empfiehlt, die sie eigentlich bereits gelesen haben, ist eine solche smarte Big-Data-Idee. Wer ein Buch über Hühner bestellt, bekommt kurz darauf eines über Hähne empfohlen. Im Prinzip geht es darum, Real-Time-Informa

OK, questa opinione libera è in tedesco, poco insegnato in Italia - poi per giunta è scritta da un professore di letteratura, perciò Google traduttore - se si mette l'URL in http://translate.google.com/ - a volte se la cava sorprendentemente bene, a volte produce parole alla rinfusa.

By Mathew Ingram Jul. 10, 2013 "Summary: The major publishers say they needed to cut an ebook deal with Apple in order to blunt the force of Amazon's monopoly - but they themselves helped construct that monopoly by insisting on platform-specific DRM."

Attorney General Eric Holder Speaks at the E-books Press Conference Washington, D.C. ~ Wednesday, April 11, 2012 "Earlier today, we filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Apple and five different book publishers - Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster. In response to our allegations, three of these publishers - Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster - agreed to a proposed settlement. If approved by the court, this settlement would resolve the Department's antitrust concerns with these companies, and would require them to grant retailers - such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble - the freedom to reduce the prices of their e-book titles. The settlement also requires the companies to terminate their anticompetitive most-favored-nation agreements with Apple and other e-books retailers. In addition, the companies will be prohibited for two years from placing constraints on retailers' ability to offer discounts to consumers. They will also be prohibited from conspiring or sharing competitively sensitive information with their competitors for five years. And each is required to implement a strong antitrust compliance program. These steps are appropriate - and essential in ensuring a competitive marketplace. Beginning in the summer of 2009, we allege that executives at the highest levels of the companies included in today's lawsuit - concerned that e-book sellers had reduced prices - worked together to eliminate competition among stores selling e-books, ultimately increasing prices for consumers. As a result of this alleged conspiracy, we believe that consumers paid millions of dollars more for some of the most popular titles. During regular, near-quarterly meetings, we allege that publishing company executives discussed confidential business and competitive matters - including Amazon's e-book retailing practices - as part of a conspiracy
