Snow Job by Facebook … ?

I know that the facebook team is saying what they need to say probably after having a frightening meeting with their lawyers. You have put your behind on the line now and everyone knows what your intentions are. You mess up one time, your’e out. You sell one persons personal artwork. You’re done. That person owns their own. That’s why their name is own it.“This message is just one to try to calm us down so you don’t have lawsuits up the ying yang! I want to see Facebook give a press release or press conference on CNN announcing publicly what you are doing. That way you have no way out of it.“  Facebook wouldn’t exist without it’s users. Your ads wouldn’t be clicked on without your users. Shady business will always bite you on your ass. Let’s ’see’ if you keep your end of the deal??“Remember in no time there will be yet another bigger and better social network taking over the net.”  That’s Bree in response to advertising company Facebook’s embarrassingly blatant effort to sneak modified Terms of Service past the people who keep it in business.In pure, unadulterated PR-babble, “Last week, we returned to our previous Terms of Use as we worked on a new set of governing documents that would more clearly explain the relationship between Facebook and its users,” says chief advertising exec Mark Zuckerman, failing to point out he had zero choice in the matter.  Since then, “I’ve been excited to see how much people care about Facebook and how willing they are to contribute to the process of governing the site.”“Our main goal at Facebook is to help make the world more open and transparent,” he says which, translated, reads, “Our main goal at Facebook is to make users believe we’re open and transparent so we can secretly get on with our main business of selling their data to make as rich.”

Mobile World Congress: Free Music Download News Ares Downloads

Monday, February 23, 2009 12:17 PST -08:00   Blog Posts   2 Comments »

Internet users will soon be able to enjoy unlimited, legal music downloads for a small additional monthly fee, after Sky confirmed plans to roll out a music download service to rival Apple’s iTunes Music Store. The broadcaster is in discussions with Omnifone, a British-based company that provides unlimited music downloads to mobile phone users, to use some of its technology to power the download service. Ominfone, which unveiled MusicStation Next Generation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, said the service would make it easier for internet service providers to provide music download services through their own branded portals.

Australia banks $2 billion from ‘illegal’ P2P

Friday, February 20, 2009 12:01 PST -08:00   Blog Posts, Featured   No Comments »

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the possibility of the content industry owning shares in the broadband networks and that if they did – then P2P was merely another distribution channel.

 Today, I’ll revisit the scenario, but this time from the perspective of policy makers.

Consider, if you will, the role of the Australian government in P2P file sharing.

According to the data available from Whirlpool, 57.7% of Australians share files using P2P.

The Australian government originally owned the majority of Telstra’s shares and has been selling off chunks since 1997.

Telstra claims they have 5,507,000 subscribers of Australia’s 7,228,000 internet users.

Therefore it follows that Telstra is the Carriage Service Provider (CSP) that enables the highest level of P2P file sharing.

Earth is placed in the Perfect Location

“We live in prime real estate,” say Scientific American magazine.  To begin with, our “city,” our solar system, is in a part of the Milky Way that many scientists call the galactic habitable zone.   This zone is about 28,000 light years from the center of the galaxy and contains just the right concentrations of the chemical elements needed to support life.  Farther out, those elements are too scarce; farther in, the neighborhood is too dangerous because of the greater abundance of potentially lethal radiation and other factors.

Aruba: Kingdom of the Netherlands

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 9:54 PST -08:00   Blog Posts, Featured   4 Comments »

Aruba’s path to the present day is marked by the mystery of ochre-colored rock drawings left behind by island shamans, the enterprising spirit of European adventurers and settlers and the diverse experiences and traditions brought by the many nationalities that have since sought out the island as either a new home or temporary resting place.An autonomous region within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Aruba has no administrative subdivisions. Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather. It has a land area of 193 km2 (75 sq mi) and lies outside the hurricane belt.Aruba’s first inhabitants are thought to have been Caquetios Amerinds from the Arawak tribe, who migrated there from Venezuela to escape attacks by the Caribs. Fragments of the earliest known Indian settlements date back from 1,000 AD. Sea currents made canoe travel to other Caribbean islands difficult, thus Caquetio culture remained closer to that of mainland South America.   Aruba is a 33-kilometre (21 mi)-long island of the Lesser Antilles in the southern Caribbean Sea, 27 km (17 mi) north of the Paraguaná Peninsula, Falcón State, Venezuela. Together with Bonaire and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles.

In Greek Mythology Ares means god of war

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 9:23 PST -08:00   Blog Posts, Featured   No Comments »

In Greek mythology, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. Though often referred to as the Olympian god of warfare, he is more accurately the god of bloodlust, or slaughter personified: “Ares is apparently an ancient abstract noun meaning throng of battle, war.”  Although Ares‘ half-sister Athena was also considered a war deity, her stance was that of strategic warfare, whereas Ares tended to be one of unpredictable warfare.  Ares is the god of war.  The reading of his character remains ambiguous, in a late 6th-century funerary inscription from Attica: “Stay and mourn at the tomb of dead Kroisos/ Whom raging Ares destroyed one day, fighting in the foremost ranks.”

The Living Planet

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:04 PST -08:00   Blog Posts, Featured, general   No Comments »

Planet Earth hosts a prodigious amount of variety of living organisms – perhaps many millions of species.  Much of this life, which thrives in the soil, the air, and water, is too small for the naked eye to see.  For example, just one gram (0.04 ounces) of soil has been found to host 10,000 species of bacteria, not to mention the total number of microbes!  Some species have been found up to two miles underground.

The atmosphere too is packed with life – and this does not mean just birds, bats and insects.  Depending on the time of year, it is also filled with pollen and other sports, as well as seeds and in certain areas, thousands of different kinds of microbes.  “This puts the diversity of microbes in the air on par with the diversity of microbes in the soil.” Says Scientific American Magazine.

Fateful choices made difference in deadly I-69 pileup

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 9:47 PST -08:00   News, general   No Comments »

Most of the time, such small choices have little consequence.

But on the morning of Feb. 3, 2009 when a blinding snowstorm triggered one of the biggest highway crashes Indiana has ever seen, small choices were the difference between life and death.

Snow and speed were blamed for the massive pileup on I-69, which involved 34 vehicles and took two lives. But what dictated who lived and who died often was much, much more mundane.

The choice between driving your wife’s car with the good tires or taking yours with the bald ones.

Sticking to your usual route to the interstate, or a short, unplanned detour.

Crawling back into bed with your wife.

Or getting on the road . . . toward mile marker 8.

Eager for work

Ivy Phillips asked her husband, Ryan, to come back to bed that morning.

It was cold in Anderson. Snow was in the forecast. And it wasn’t clear there would be any work for Ryan anyway. Just the day before, his boss had sent him home. With construction sluggish, the demand for people who lay fiber optic cable has been spotty.

But Ryan, 28, and Ivy, 23, needed the money. Married a little more than a year, they had four kids. They’d been dreaming of saving up to buy a home. And they needed a bigger car to haul their newly blended family. If there was work to be had, Ryan wanted it.

So Ryan made his choice. He leaned over the bassinette and kissed 5-month-old Charlee. Then he kissed Ivy and turned for the door. He turned back — more than once — for another kiss and another goodbye. Ryan was a guy who needed reassurance.

Just the night before, as they lay in bed, Ryan had grown nervous that the happiness might end. He had asked: “Are you sure you want to be with me for the rest of my life?”

“Yeah,” Ivy replied, she would love him the rest of his life.

Facebook Changes its’ Term of Service

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 7:26 PST -08:00   general   1 Comment »

Yesterday the blogosphere was going crazy after a popular consumer affairs blog pointed out changes to Facebook’s terms of use that the social networking website quietly made this month.  Paul Boutin in the Industry Standard, reported that Facebook’s new terms of service, gives permanent rights to any content that users create or upload, even after they delete it from the site.  Facebook knows your age, school, favorite color and has pictures of you and your friends and personal information you have sent to your best friend.  As reported in the Chicago tribune “Legally, almost, but in practice, the rules that govern Facebook’s relationship with its users are abstract and subject to constant negotiation.
