So who all gets access to this information about which cellphone is connecting to which tower, and what rights did I give to this person/entity to use it for stuff like this?
Mike Bergman, credited with coining the phrase,[1] has said that searching on the Internet today can be compared to dragging a net across the surface of the ocean: a great deal may be caught in the net, but there is a wealth of information that is deep and therefore missed. Most of the Web's information is buried far down on dynamically generated sites, and standard search engines do not find it. Traditional search engines cannot "see" or retrieve content in the deep Web – those pages do not exist until they are created dynamically as the result of a specific search.
When the US senators talk about the "Dark Web", it either reflects their prowess for all things technical or their desire to get rid of the anonymous internet.
BTW, here's a better article on bitcoins being used in the "Dark Web".
Give your outside sales reps something like 20% commission, have a few engineers that work as inside sales reps (ie they are the main point of contact for clients) for like 10-15%, and then give your engineering teams 5% as a whole for all inside sales.
The remaining question to ask is what’s the point of doing this reverse engineering? Skype is a free-to-use service for the most part. You do pay for non Skype-to-Skype calls, and have to use the official software, but is that really enough to make users desire an alternative?
Are you saying Google is a good solution to fixing DNS? While Chrome 13 hiding the URL says something about the state of DNS, I don't like the idea of trusting a newer, "better" DNS to any corporate entity...
Trends in online web search query data have been shown useful in providing models of real world phenomena. However, many of these results rely on the careful choice of queries that prior knowledge suggests should correspond with the phenomenon.
Yes, that is how science is done; hypothesis, predict, test, evaluate.
Here, we present an online, automated method for query selection that does not require such prior knowledge. Instead, given a temporal or spatial pattern of interest, we determine which queries best mimic the data. These search queries can then serve to build an estimate of the true value of the phenomenon.
So we have a backwards type of science: Evaluate, test, predict, hypothesis. Cuz hey, if there's a correlation, there must be a relation, and if there's a relation, we can build an estimate of the value of the relation, right? The marketing manager is gonna LOVE this....
I didn't even know there was a such thing as a "Android Movie Market", an honestly don't care, I don't plan to pay $3.99 to "rent" a movie to my phone. I'll be happy once Netflix comes to Droid.
He (assuming he's a he) is probably making 70-90k a year as a "social media expert" at a big agency, unless he owns the agency, at which point he probably has multiple clients (and multiple/. accounts) and (hopefully) making over 200k/yr. If he's at a small agency and doing what the partners tell him to do, he's probably in the 35-50k ballpark.
I find it interesting your post was modded as a troll, perhaps it says more about/. than anything else. Just last week I modded up a post from someone who pointed out ~5 users who, without doubt, post pro-Microsoft. I checked out the users' accounts the poster mentioned, and s/he was right; the only time these users posted was when something was anti-MS or pro-OSS.
Social media monitoring is a valuable service to corporate america and perhaps the direction I should lead my agency. Or maybe I should place my beliefs in front of $.
Eh, Imma drink a beer and just do what I'm passionate about.

There is nothing that compares with US based, on-site developers who speak the language, understand the culture, and know the ins-and-outs of the business. Sure outsourcing works in a few situations, but all we're really seeing is the pendulum swing in the opposite direction: outsourcing IT to (insert country here) didn't work, so let's in-source and keep it as cheap as possible. This too shall pass, and eventually management will happen upon an "equitable" pay grade that fits their business model and profit margin, and keeps management-pleasing IT workers somewhat happy. I give it another 7-10 years before this happens, before management realizes IT is more than a commodity item.
Really all we're seeing is IT salaries + benefits going down, nothing more, nothing less. Move along now, move along...
I read Drudge b/c I want to know what Republicans are saying, and then I go to Salon (and oddly enough, Jon Stewart) for the other side. Drudge has a powerful voice; he puts his spin on the news through his "clever" (ie. biased) phrasing of news events, which is usually picked up by the local and regional news stations. So the news might be (real-time example) "Too Much Fear? Package Threat Forces Evacuation Of Dallas DART Station" but Drudge titles it "USA FREAK OUT: TERROR FEARS; FALSE ALARMS". Interested to see what Fox has to say about it this evening...

Unless I'm missing something, it's the widespread use of antibiotics in general, not just on cows, that leads to so-called "superbugs".

The only good thing I can say about Packt is that they pay book royalties to open source projects. Other than that, yeah, don't buy from them.

Actually, Google has two sentences.
