What if the reality where that private data is private property? As a work of art or a thing itself. I believe that if I paint a like in a canvas I own it. If I write a poem I own it. Data I generate that is associated with me, is another form of expression, and I should own it. The problem is that how it's bern framed, as "privacy" as something I don't own, but may have some ethical reason for trying to prevent mining is the wrong approach. As a true libertarian things are simple: private data is private property of the citizen that created it. If you want use it, you must license it from the owner. Requiring the user to forfeit that right to use a service is illegal and a criminal act, theft.
Unfortunately, data is atomic, unlike a work of art.
Computers manipulate data to produce information, which humans find useful and relevant.
And most often this data mining occurs because your data is on their property, which is why I will never subscribe to cloud computing. If anything you're a lessee and Google, or wherever, is like your landlord; essentially if privacy is to be observed, legislation will have to be introduced similar to that of Tenant's Rights.
Although this complaint is merely a cry for PHP to receive fixes in its code, I have read on the web that a major issue with PHP has to relate to hashes. According to LWN.net, a denial of service can occur when the hash functions are put into excess which will cause the system to become unresponsive and cause denial of service.
Yes, I do agree with my peers. The largest benefit to PHP is its C-like syntax, and TIOBE.com lists C as the top language followed closely by Java, C++ and then Objective-C, which is C with Smalltalk.
I am personally going to leave Facebook after the IPO; it's the safest way to leave it. However, the data that they already have from my account will still be accessible by them for a long while.
It's rather agitating that they don't offer shares to Facebook users first since they're going to be the ones shafted if anything happens. And I am certain that several wouldn't mind investing in protecting the online environment.
Last week, I had this same thought occur to myself. I hadn't been exposed to any publicly broadcasted except Titanic 3D.
I got to thinking if we could recreate the experience of Titanic. What would you change to make it modern? Would you run it off of steam as was the means of its predecessor: RMS Titanic? Or would you use diesel which is common in current cruise liners?
Then I wondered if anyone would ride it. It's kind of a floating historical icon. And would people feel that the same fate looms over the new Titanic?
Oh, well. I wouldn't have any means to capitalize on the idea but hey, such is life.
Siri is nice when you're driving down the freeway and you can't be bothered with a keyboard. If anything, Siri could replace keyboards but not search engines.
Exactly. Keyword searches are far more efficient than full natural language, especially since English is context sensitive as well as ambiguous. I can look up an English word, and there are likely more than one definition attributed to it.
And wasn't Bing supposed to reduce the clutter of so much information online? I thought it was "Bing and decide?" Why isn't Bing an "ultra-intelligent electronic agent?" Then again, I don't want a search engine to decide for me. And this is where Google still reigns supreme.
Sometimes, rarely, I will try to find a meta-search engine such as Dogpile because I want to broaden the databases that I am accessing.
I agree. The cloud is not a backup solution. To subscribe to the cloud for backups would require an internet connection. And this should not be required. My data is my data--period. Access to my data (especially tax, financial and other private information) should be kept confidentially at residence for purposes of knowing who is accessing it. Once your data leaves the premise [to the cloud], there is no 100% certifiable guarantee that the data has been seen by your eyes only.
It may be an idea for backup in regards to fires, but you can always stash a drive at another location, such as your parent's or friend's house.
Yeah. The market is changing and so are our wallets. I mean, it's easier to enjoy a Facebook app versus an Xbox 360 (for example). I mean, I have a computer and an Internet connection and it costs nothing to use Facebook apps. I don't know how it is on iPhones, etc. because I don't have that kind of cash on hand.
Then again, I just don't play any games. And my expensive Xbox went RRoD and since it's first generation, it's probably out of warranty. I bought it in 2007. I pretty much find my interests wherever. I'll play some solitaire or something if I need a break.
And you are right. Although the iPhone offers gaming experience, it's controls are not as immersive as an Xbox with a large screen and surround sound.
I'd say the market has greatly diversified. It's anyone's market, especially in the software sector. I can't say the same in the chipset sector. Intel is hammering on AMD and I can't say much about VIA; it's gotta be that Apple deal that Intel struck many years ago.
Sorry if this seems limited. I am merely extrapolating from my personal experience, which is sadly limited due to finances.
