Mark Pesce's answer to Will this century see the end of privacy as we know it? - Quora - 0 views

  • Five hundred years ago we didn't have this kind of privacy - everyone in the village/tribe knew all of our business
  • Now that we can each keep an eye on the city the same way we kept our eyes on the village/tribe, we may be 'retribalizing' (McLuhan predicted this) into an urban form which isn't very private at all.

How Android Is Transforming Mobile Computing - Newsweek - 0 views

  • In addition to making Android available for free, Google also lets phone makers change the code and customize it so that an Android phone made by, say, Samsung has a different user interface than an Android phone from Motorola. Rubin believes this open-source model gives Google an advantage over rivals selling closed systems, like Apple, which also operates its own online stores. Appleā€™s tight control enables it to deliver an exceptionally smooth user experience, where everything works seamlessly together.

The implications-for politics, for education, for global economics-are dizzying. In theory, the mobile revolution could enable citizens to demand greater openness and accountability from their governments. The reverse might also be true: governments could more easily spy on citizens. "You also have the prospect of having 5 billion surveillance points," says Jonathan Zittrain, codirector of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.
