by karlcow

A lot of cafes and small restaurants will let people hang out because they attract other people,” said Yannis M.

All photos, tags and comments are stored in your personal cloud accounts with companies like Amazon, Rackspace or Google.

Where Have All the Photojournalists Gone? - Technology - GOOD

by karlcow

"If what makes a photographer better isn't clear, then I don't think photographer jobs should be preserved just because they have up until this point. People thought the profession of photography was threatened when autofocus was introduced, but photographers who lasted proved that knowing the technical elements of a camera was the least important part of their value." 

Role in the society and possession, access to a skill not owned by others. The uniqueness of the skills being diluted, the initial value disappear, and then the ecosystem changes.

Why Johnny Can’t Opt Out: A Usability Evaluation of Tools to Limit Online Behavioral Advertising

by karlcow

We present results of a 45-participant laboratory study investigating the usability of tools to limit online behavioral advertising (OBA).We tested nine tools, including tools that block access to advertising websites, tools that set cookies indicating a user’s preference to opt out of OBA, and privacy tools that are built directly into web browsers. We interviewed participants about OBA, observed their behavior as they installed and used a privacy tool, and recorded their perceptions and attitudes about that tool. We found serious usability flaws in all nine tools we examined. The online opt-out tools were challenging for users to understand and configure. Users tend to be unfamiliar with most advertising companies, and therefore are unable to make meaningful choices. Users liked the fact that the browsers we tested had built-in Do Not Track features, but were wary of whether advertising companies would respect this preference. Users struggled to install and configure blocking lists to make effective use of blocking tools. They often erroneously concluded the tool they were using was blocking OBA when they had not properly configured it to do so.

Why install time permissions suck. Why we wanted access to contacts in the Walmart app on Dion Almaer's Blog

by night.kame

Interestingly, on webOS, things are the other way around – any app can display the “People Picker” allowing the user to select a single contact to pass to the app, but there’s no way for an app to gain permission to read all contacts.

WebOS plus avancé qu'Android.
