New.Myspace, New.Problems
nerdology:
Those of you who have been following me for a while (or know me personally) know that Myspace is one of my favorite things to talk about. I have said before that I would drop everything to be the CEO of that company, and I’m only half kidding when I say that.
When Myspace released a video of their redesigned site I was elated. Watching (fictional person) David create an account and...

Online Banking Attacks Were Work of Iran, U.S.... →
infoneer-pulse:
The attackers hit one American bank after the next. As in so many previous attacks, dozens of online banking sites slowed, hiccupped or ground to a halt before recovering several minutes later.
But there was something disturbingly different about the wave of online attacks on American banks in recent weeks. Security researchers say that instead of exploiting individual...

Russia backtracks on internet governance proposals →
infoneer-pulse:
Russian-backed proposals calling for 193 countries to be given “equal rights to manage the internet” have been pulled at a UN conference in Dubai.
The US had threatened to block the suggested additions to an international communications treaty.
It wants the treaty to make minimal reference to the internet, warning to do otherwise risks state interference.

Hacking the Human Brain: The Next Domain of... →
infoneer-pulse:
It’s been fashionable in military circles to talk about cyberspace as a “fifth domain” for warfare, along with land, space, air and sea. But there’s a sixth and arguably more important warfighting domain emerging: the human brain.
This new battlespace is not just about influencing hearts and minds with people seeking information. It’s about involuntarily penetrating, shaping,...

“Live in the future, then build what’s missing.”
– Paul Graham, in his latest essay “How To Get Startup Ideas”.
He actually further refines the quote later on to be “Live in the future and build what seems interesting,” but I like this one more. Great stuff.

How the ITU wants to regulate the Internet
bitshare:
If we’re not careful as a society, we may end up with a closed Internet, regulated by big corporations with only their deep pockets in mind. It was a close call with SOPA, which as a unified front we were able to stop. The wheels never stopped turning after SOPA, as we have encountered ACTA and CISPA. Now it seems the ITU is trying to get in on the Internet, and bring regulations that...

The UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) graduates it is creating, a report says.
The study, by the Royal Academy of Engineering, says 100,000 Stem graduates are needed a year just to maintain the status quo.
It argues the UK is already slipping down the international innovation league tables.

Iran Announces Plan To Launch Domestic Internet By... →
infoneer-pulse:
It seems that the Iranian government is working to take even tighter control of the country’s already heavily-censored version of the Internet.
The government said that it’s going to launch its own domestic Internet, and that the system will be fully operational by March 2013, according to Reuters and others (who, in turn, seem to be basing their reports on the Iranian media)....

The webOS Dark Horse →
parislemon:
Over the course of the next year, I’m guessing we see more and more Android partners get fed up with some aspect of the OS — be it the hardships making money, Google’s own intentions, lawsuits, etc. With that in mind, webOS remains a dark horse for something interesting.
But, as Brian X. Chen points out, HP is putting fewer and fewer resources into it as the move to open source the...

Supermarkets Try Customizing Prices for Shoppers →
infoneer-pulse:
It used to be that with dedication and a good pair of scissors, one grocery shopper could get the same coupons — and cheap prices — as another.
At a Safeway in Denver, a 24-pack of Refreshe bottled water costs $2.71 for Jennie Sanford, a project manager. For Emily Vanek, a blogger, the price is $3.69.
The difference? The vast shopping data Safeway maintains on both women...

Android Is... Still Getting Destroyed In Mobile... →
parislemon:
Mobile Safari hit 66.22% share of mobile browsing in July, the highest number yet that NetMarketshare has calculated for the browser. Android is growing too, at 19.41%, but amazingly, not as quickly.
John Gruber wonders how this could be given what we’re told about Android market share:
Not sure how to square the disparity here other than to assume that an awful lot of Android...
