    • The politics of data security

      Posted by Billbar from News.com

      A political spat is afoot in the halls of the U.S. Congress, where politicians say that consumers should be notified in the event of a data breach but are still arguing about the details. The feds vs the states.

    Feds catch radioactive cat on Interstate 5

    Personally, I’m glad to hear the U.S. is deploying (and has the capability) these devices. I’m skeptical of the casual anecdote that this agent shared at a community meeting.

    I would like the government to be more forthcoming about their domestic spying – at the very least with Congress – so we can have the appropriate Constitutional checks and balances.

    Amazon database would put shoppers' intimate details on the line

    This kind of intrusive corporate snooping is above and beyond the pale. I really wish we had a law that would allow me to get companies to *remove* data about me from their files.

    OS X 10.4.7 Phones Home To Cupertino

    Seems innocuous like what iTunes did, but does feel Microsoftian. Probably can be circumvented easily, like in iTunes. But Apple is a large multinational corporation and thus is evil by definition, so a little paranoia is healthy.
