7 Alarming
Ways Hackers Can Screw with Your Smartphone
… to get you thinking the right way, here are
some real examples in which your smartphone can be hacked and used
against you, and I promise you’ll start thinking of smartphone
security as an everyday necessity rather than just for the paranoid.
Unfortunately, less boob-tube time does not
translate into fewer boobs.
Online
Streams Are Destroying Cable TV and These 3 Stats Prove It
Cord-cutting isn’t just a hypothetical dream
anymore. It’s happening all over the country and the
numbers are accelerating at speeds no one could have foreseen or
predicted. The new age of online streaming is already here and it’s
here to stay.
1. Netflix
is still growing — significantly. In Q1 of 2015,
Netflix’s membership grew by 4.9 million subscribers. In the
quarter before that, membership grew by 4.0 million subscribers. In
total, Netflix now has over 62 million users all over the world (and
40 million of those users in the U.S.).
2. Pay
TV subscription rates are dropping like flies. In Q2 of
2015, the pay TV
industry (which includes cable, satellite, and telco TV) lost a total
of 566,000 subscribers. Compare that to Q2 of 2014 when they’d
lost a total of 321,000 subscribers. The attrition rate is
increasing at alarming speeds.
3. Almost
every single age group is watching less TV. In Q2 of
2015, the only age groups to watch more TV in a month were 50 to 64
and 65+ — which means that people between the ages of 2 to 49 all
watched less TV.
Interesting. Think of it as crowd-sourcing
education. But do we want popular or accurate information? Using
professionals in training might keep Wikipedia on track. We could do
this in any field of study.
Batea –
The clinical browser data mining project
by Sabrina
I. Pacifici on Nov 26, 2015
November
17, 2015 – “DocGraph publicly released Batea,
a browser extension that tracks
clinical reference URLs visited by medical students when they study.
Batea was built by DocGraph with support from the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Medical students across the country are
encouraged to download
the Batea extension for use on their personal computers.
Browsing histories will be aggregated monthly and shared with
WikiProject Medicine to help direct future improvements to Wikipedia
medical articles. According
to a 2014 study, Wikipedia is the single leading source of medical
information for patients and healthcare professionals.
Wikipedia’s 25,000 medical articles receive more than 200 million
views per month and its 8,000 pharmacology articles receive more than
40 million views per month…. DocGraph (http://docgraph.com)
is an organization that works to create, maintain, and improve open
healthcare datasets. It aims to grow the open health data movement
and build a community of data scientists, journalists, and clinical
enterprises who use open data to understand and help evolve the
healthcare system.”
