To Cloud or Not to Cloud: IT Vendors Ponder the Question
Gordon Haff
Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space. Do they just sell their tooling to any and all comers, who then become the actual purveyors of hosted infrastructure, developer platforms, and software? Or do they offer their own cloud-based services, perhaps even keeping much of their technology in-house for competitive advantage?

Don Reisinger
Much has been made over the possibility of the U.S. government spying on Web users. There is a fear that through advanced technology, loopholes in federal regulations, and sheer gall, government officials will engage in acts that put the U.S. citizenry at risk. But whether or not the government is actually engaging in any activities online that puts its intentions into question is up for debate.

Net Neutrality & UFOs
11|5|09   |   2:20   |   2 comments

The government secrets of UFOs are hidden in Area 51, so where are the secrets of net neutrality hidden, Area 52? Nope, they're hidden in Paragraph 148 – and they're a lot more substantive than UFOs!

What can users today do to protect their online privacy? The simplest and most obvious option is to not use the Internet – at all. However, once all digital information is consolidated over the Internet, trying to protect digital identity by simply unplugging from the Internet becomes impossible – a fact that has manifest implications for civil liberties, Saunders says.

The 20th Century Internet was characterized by the ability to interact with other people and information on the Internet largely without anyone knowing who you were.

Americans’ Views of Internet Behavioral Targeting
10|23|09   |   2:04   |   1 comment

A new poll shows that a majority of Americans don’t like behavioral targeting on the Internet, even when it’s done anonymously. But the poll is seriously flawed in that it did not ask Americans about the tradeoffs involved. If we are to make good public policy with regard to the Internet and privacy, it’s important to have a debate that explores all aspects of the issue. This poll failed to do that.

The New Cyber War

Cyber Warfare may be the next frontier for tactical hacking. It has already reared its head in Estonia, Russia, and Georgia, and some say it has been used by North Korea, China, and other world powers. The implications and the potential are both fascinating and scary.
