PolicyTool: Create A Social Media Policy For Your Company
With social networks becoming an integral part of everybody’s life, it is important for companies to have a clear and concise policy about the use of social media by its employees. However, not every company can afford a team of legal experts to do that. For those who want a quick solution, PolicyTool is a great help.
PolicyTool generates a social media policy for your company by making you answer a few quick questions. Once you have answered these questions about general rules for using social media and information about your company, a comprehensive social media policy is generated that can be used for commercial purposes free of charge.
I suspect this is less about censorship and more about access to the Apple platform.
German Publishers Want Censorship Talks With Apple
Posted by kdawson on Sunday May 30, @04:24PM
"The association of German magazine publishers has sent a letter to Steve Jobs (Google translation; German original here) demanding talks about censorship by Apple. The move draws attention to growing concerns about freedom of the press when a single unelected commercial entity has worldwide control over what gets published for iPhone and, especially, iPad."
While the magazine publishers may rightly be concerned about private control of a platform that many of them are counting on for their long-term salvation, the German state is at the very least ambivalent about the subject of censorship. This is the country that has banned Wikileaks, sought a ban on violent games, and voted to censor child porn (only to have the president kill the ban as unconstituitonal).
No doubt she got the idea while reading the National Enquirer...

4G wireless: It's fast, but outstripped by hype
By PETER SVENSSON (AP) – 20 hours ago
NEW YORK — Cell phone companies are about to barrage consumers with advertising for the next advance in wireless network technology: "4G" access. The companies are promising faster speeds and the thrill of being the first on the block to use a new acronym.
But there's less to 4G than meets the eye, and there's little reason for people to scramble for it, at least for the next few years.
… Broadly speaking, it's a new way to use the airwaves, designed from the start for the transmission of data rather than phone calls.
Continuing my “Wow, that's a lot of data!” theme

The Coming Data Explosion
Written by Richard MacManus / May 31, 2010 3:34 AM
One of the key aspects of the emerging Internet of Things - where real-world objects are connected to the Internet - is the massive amount of new data on the Web that will result. As more and more 'things' in the world are connected to the Internet, it follows that more data will be uploaded to and downloaded from the cloud.
… Mayer went on to say that there were 5 exabytes of data online in 2002, which had risen to 281 exabytes in 2009. That's a growth rate of 56x over 7 years. Partly, she said, this has been the result of people uploading more data. Mayer said that the average person uploads 15 times more data today (in 2009) than they did just 3 years ago.
… HP's Parthasarathy Ranganathan used the term "ubiquitous nanosensors," which can have multiple dimensions per sensor:
Vibration
Tilt
Rotation
Navigation
Sound
Air flow
Light
Temperature
Biological
Chemical
Humidity
Pressure
Location
Ranganathan noted that there will soon be millions of sensors working in real-time, with data sampled every second.
