Jeg vil så gerne have en iPhone, men jeg synes helt ærligt, at Telias bud på en prisstruktur er helt i skoven. Det er simpelthen for dyrt. Når man kan få et 3 modem med over 7 mbit downloadhastighed og fri trafik til 300 kr. pr. måned, hvorfor skal man så betale 600 kr. for 300 MB hos Telia, som ovenikøbet har en meget dårligere 3G dækning end 3? Det kan godt være, at en iPhone er fed - men hvis pengepungen skal flåes for at bruge den…..

Though one should not try to copy what he did - at least not in life but maybe in writing - I bet it will be highly entertaining to watch this documentary on one the greatest writers of the 20th century.

Buzzword Bingo

Bruce Schneier on the panel about privacy and security in the network age.

All we do today creates data. The creation and the storage of data is getting cheaper and cheaper. This means that we save data that we would normally throw away. Now they are saved, because they are cheap to save.

The result is what Schneier calls “wholesale suveillance”. It’s no longer “follow that car” - it’s “follow every car!”

Moore’s law is really good for intrusive tools. They become smaller and cheaper and ubiquitous.

The surveillance and the collected data go into the background and you will get used to be recognized - everywhere.

In 10 - 15 years we won’t need an id-card, because “we” know, who you are. And even if you have a life recorder documenting your every move all through your life on audio and video - it only takes 900 gb.

Every conversation will be saved and be public available.

“The whole world becomes like an airport security area. But I don’t not wanna know, who the guy next to me on the plane is. I just don’t want him to blow up the plane. And if he does blow up the plane - I still don’t care who he is….”

Often you get the question: “How much privacy will you give up for security?” That’s rubbish! It is not security versus privacy - it’s liberty versus control. That’s the fight.

Joe Kraus from Google sees three trends in social media:

Discovery: from solitary to social - we will become more social with others in our information gathering

Sharing: from active to passive - we will share information about ourselfes in a “publish then filter” way

Social: from site to web-wide - being social will no longer take place on specific websites, but it will saturate the web
