Ask yourself this: Are you a statistic or a specific example? That’s the question being raised in the aftermath of a study in which researchers secretly tracked the locations of 100,000 people to determine their movement patterns. Such studies are considered invasions of privacy — and illegal — in the United States, but [...]
So I saw the following story on the BBC and my initial reaction was that it made me cringe. Now, one argument is that if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about but knowing that your every move is being tracked and stored by the government just doesn’t give me the [...]
Living life in the USA means your banking activity, credit history, income generation, TV watching, purchases, where you go online, or just about everything except breathing is tracked.

The facts about predatory loan practices in minority communities are not new. In 2006 the Center for Responsible Lending released a study that found when income and credit risk were equal, African-Americans were more than 30 percent more likely to receive higher-rate, more expensive subprime loans than Caucasians. A 2007 report by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (
Yea, I always pretty much assume everything is tracked. They say this is public space... when your on the net, you lose your privacy. Telcoms get immunity - why shouldnt ISP's right? Fuck that. Truthfully, I dont care if they do it for advertising, but fuck, leave it at that! I have invested a lot of trust into Google and Yahoo!... I'd hate to see them let us down with any corruption or

-Qatar has the second largest population of dugongs in the world, but little is known of these secretive creatures that often avoid the ocean’s shallows.Dugongs feed on sea grass at the bottom of the sea. The creatures are slow moving, and a recent study in California found that they avoid their natural predators, sharks, by staying in deep water.Now these rare creatures, which may be in danger of extinction, are to be tracked by military cameras mounted on helicopters in part of a initiative by SCENR, Dolphin Energy and the Qatar Air force, according to the Gulf Times.If you want to know more about Qatar’s marine life, watch out for the second of Francis Gillespie’s article on Qatar Nature, which will be published next month and will include pictures of dugong. The first article, An Introduction to Qatar’s Natural History, can be seen on the Natural History section of our website.Note - image taken from Wikipedia's page on Dugongs.Also see Qatar Sea SlugsQatar Visitor e-store
According to researchers at UC Riverside, “use a blocklist or you will be tracked… 100% of the time“. That’s an awful statistic. It comes from an article found on Ars Technica, so you know its pretty darn reputable information. I recommend you read the whole article (already linked up there). However, here is a small excerpt:
Title: P2P researchers: use a blocklist or you will be tracked… 100% of the time

A trio of intrepid researchers from the University of California-Riverside decided to see just how often a P2P user might be tracked by content owners. Their startling conclusion: “naive” users will exchange data with such “fake users” 100 percent of the time.

GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) -- Five students denied diplomas after cheers erupted when their names were called at a high school graduation emerged empty-handed Tuesday from a meeting with school administrators.The students and their families met briefly with Galesburg High School officials at an administration building, but they were again denied the diplomas because no one apologized to school officials for the cheers at the May 27 ceremony. ...The students denied the diplomas say school officials wanted them to track down the cheering culprits.
