You’re
Being Watched Online
Yes, everything you do
online is being tracked. Your searches, the videos you watch,
transactions, social events, even crime. Scandalous crimes. With a
little help, especially
with our guides, you’re still able to remain anonymous on the
Internet.

Aereo
and FilmOn X: Internet Television Streaming and Copyright Law.
Emily M. Lanza, Legislative Attorney. January 13, 2014
“Companies such as
Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon have changed how many people watch
television programming by offering on-demand, online streaming to
their computers, mobile devices, and gaming consoles. Aereo and
FilmOn X also stream television programming over the Internet for a
monthly subscription fee. Unlike the other companies, however, the
technology of Aereo and FilmOn permits subscribers to watch both live
broadcast television and already-aired programming without licenses.
This development in technology has triggered multiple lawsuits
alleging copyright violations by these companies. The litigation
reveals not only multiple interpretations of copyright law and its
application to new and developing technologies, but also a possible
“loophole” in the law, which some have accused Aereo and FilmOn
of exploiting. The Copyright Act of 1976 provides copyright holders
with the exclusive right to control how their work is reproduced,
adapted, distributed, publicly displayed, or publicly performed. The
issue before the courts in the lawsuits against Aereo and FilmOn X is
whether a retransmission of copyrighted broadcasts over the Internet
without a prior agreement with the copyright holder violated the
copyright holder’s right of public performance.”
Amusing. Either Apple
sent a great salesman or LA sent idiots.
How
Much Do 1:1 iPad Classrooms Cost?
A recent look at what
Los Angeles is paying for students’ iPads in its 1:1 program found
that the cost far exceeds what other nearby districts are paying
for programs offering iPads, Chromebooks or other laptops. Now, Los
Angeles is surveying
dozens of other school districts to find out what they’re
paying.
… Here’s a look
at six 1:1 programs across the country.
Shorter than an
elevator pitch, but interesting.

“Businesses,
government agencies, and non-profits in countries around the world
are transforming virtually every facet of the economy and society
through innovative uses of data. These changes, brought about by new
technologies and techniques for collecting, storing, analyzing,
disseminating, and visualizing data, are improving the quality of
life for billions of individuals around the world, opening up new
economic opportunities, and creating more efficient and effective
governments. Policymakers can help support these efforts by
fostering the development of human capital, encouraging the
advancement of innovative technology, and promoting the availability
of data itself for use and reuse. This list provides a sampling, in
no particular order, of some of the most interesting and important
contributions data-driven innovations have made in the past year.”
