News Radio and TV, nobody is anonymous. They can ALL be traced. If some chuckle head says some crap on the radio or airs a pirated flick then you better BELIEVE that person can be traced. This is not about government infringing on privacy. This is about government using this as leverage to create laws that thwart anonymous internet crap. You better believe that if you have a voice on TV, Radio or in a newspaper that your name will be recorded somewhere before it is printed or aired. No different than the internet. You want to participate on the internet? You will need to register.
I am starting to not like google. They are getting too big and beginning to monopolize on the internet. Alot of what they have to say is forked tongue. But in other news....
Listen, I know techies in internet land like to be anonymous. But the fact is, for a number of reasons, anonymity is dangerous. In real everyday life we are not anonymous. People are people and knowing who is who and who said what and who did what is very important when it comes to life. The internet is now reality and a large part of modern day life. It is the foundation of modern day communications and therefore cannot be treated like a closed community of anonymous techies who use it as a playground, office and resource. Those days are gone. Things need to change. This is why lawmakers are pushing the change. We need to know who is who. We are all "neighbors" on the internet. Don't you want to know who your neighbor is? What if everytime you saw your neighbor they had a burlap sack covering their body and talked through a voice tweaking device to remain anonymous? Freaky, huh? Well, take that idea to the internet.
Google, security, data, 2007 and beyond

2007 in Security

Google seems to be interested in collecting tons of data to secure a position in the data world of tomorrow.

"The race is on to own certain classes of core data: location, identity, calendaring of public events, product identifiers and namespaces."
In 2007 I expect to see increased jockying in data related powerhouse players like Google, Oracle, etc...
If I were to speculate beyond 2007 I would say that as far as security goes, data management & protection/privacy are top priority. Forget the bots, worms, crackers and spammers. If data is properly protected and managed then bots, worms, spam, etc.. are powerless because they will have no ability to exploit data as they do today.
This raises another point, do you feel comfortable with only a few powerhouses like Google & Yahoo hording all the data they can? (email, websites, maps, etc..). I don't. I don't like the idea of only a few controlling the data. Thus, as a result, we may even begin to see a seperation between public and PRIVATE internet. Yup, you got it. I speculate that private internets will begin to develop. Much like we have social seperation, we will soon have Internet seperation. This seperation may occur on a tangible community/city level of even a 'like-interest' level. And, no, we don't have anything like it today so I'm not talking about Myspace, newsgroups, clubs, communities, etc.. I am talking about private internet sections, totally closed circuit.
