If you are in a public space, by definition, you have no privacy.
I'm so fucking tired of people crying "What about my Privacy!".
If you would like to maintain your privacy, stay in a physical location which is private.
How the crap can you expect to maintain privacy in PUBLIC?????????
" Torch's 3.2-inch, 360-by-480 screen is a standard capacitive LCD touch screen. The screen is bright and sharp, but it's obviously behind the competition in terms of resolution. The Torch has a 5-megapixel camera with VGA video recording, Bluetooth 2.1, 512 MB of program memory, 4 GB of built-in storage, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. The Torch has the same 624-MHz Marvell processor as the existing BlackBerry Bold. The new BlackBerry 6 OS adds touch to the interface mix......... bla bla blah"
So about half will still break in the first 6 months, right?
I've had just about every BB since they first had phone capability, and they basically suck at everything except for writing emails (mostly). The newer they are the more easily they break.
Technology exists to do full 1080p at way lower bandwidths. H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10 allows 720p@30fps @512kbps, 720p@60fps@768kbs, 1080p@30fps@1024kbps. Of course there is going to be overhead, but it shouldn't be nearly as much as the video. Seems like they need to upgrade the service before rolling it out on a crap network.
I work for an AV integrator, and that room is god awful. The projector mount is garbage. The lighting blows, and that Creston panel is a POS. Its hard to tell from the picture but that looks like a sprinkler head not a mic, which means there is no audio system set up for teleconference (that vtx isn't going to cut it in a room that large), and sure as shit no video conferencing with those lights, don't even get me started on those color combinations. Looks like there are some pop-up boxes and it also looks like there not finish building the room out. Odds are there are 4 more LCD's on the other wall to the back of the photo, but who knows. Looks like there 32's also.
You should see some of the conference rooms at Google.
Just hide the monitor under your desk. When the audit is over, put it back on your desk.
If you find its that much of a benefit, buy one out of pocket if they are too obtuse to see the benefit.
I literally could not do my job on a single monitor.
I guess I'm lucky my manager sees the benefit of putting 4 19" LCD's on my desk.
I currently work in the Video Conference industry. I got into it about 2 years ago as a split role (part VC and part IT work) after a string of IT jobs where my main role was Umbrella man. After 2 years, I was still an umbrella man. I did everything from managing laptops, maintaining databases, server, vpn, network, lan, wan, ISDN etc and all the VC stuff I did also. It was nice because I got to touch so many things, and each day was different. It was also however very frustrating, because I never got to spend much time in any one area and felt like I was a master of nothing, an inch deep and a mile wide. As the company grew I was asked if I wanted to stay in the IT department, or move to all video. After two years of doing IT and VC for the same company, I was worth a lot more $ on the VC side. Also, to replace me in IT was a dime a doze, in VC, a C note a dozen. I chose VC and Ive been very happy with he choice. Its interesting, stuff, high demand, and right now its easy to move up the ladder.
I can't help but think back to Napster. Its obvious that if YouTube was left alone, it would eventually be crippled by lawsuits. I could picture YouTube becoming something like Napster2, "merging" with one of its plaintiffs.
Makes me wunder what the world would be like now if Google was around to buy Napster back in the day, spooky....
Print it out in binary, laminate the pages, and lock them bitches in a fireproof safe.
Sure, restores are a bitch, but were talking mega-backups. The last line of recovery... so you know, we don't forget about human history, because there is only 1 copy of that...
This is a law with good intent targeted at the wrong area.
There should be consequences for people, companies and, organizations who keep databases of personal information without properly securing said information. This information should;
- NEVER be housed on a laptop or any other portable media, there is no need.
- NEVER be without sufficient encryption, symmetric 256
These two steps alone would limit the majority of recent personal information exposure incidents. People who expose this information to security risks should be held accountable. Only than will we see a dramatic decrease of these exposures.
these numbers are horrifically bloated. Say one person is shown a funny video on lets say a site which also shows some boobies (That site is deemed sexual). He shows a bunch of his cube-mates, they laugh a bit, than go back to work. Say half of these people leave the window burried for 30, 60, 90, 120, min while going to lunch, doing actual work, meetings etc. Odds are they view that as 30,60,90,120 min of surfing p0rn on some XXX site because the banners spam refresh.

wtf?
Seems so odd this is happening in NH.
That didn't work out so good in Robo-Cop....

Gee, I'm showing CUTTING EDGE STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY! on a POS dell monitor that has to be 3 years old? WTF?

They really videotaped the interview? Seems pretty crappy to use friggen videotape when your in the streaming video business.... wtf???
Yeah, but STREAMING isn't TCP, its UDP, which is why they get 75%, but over all, you are on the right track.
I for one embrace our wirelessly powered robot overlords.
