Months after I finished writing it, a pair of copies of my new book – Dealing with E-mail arrived at my door. The rest of you will have to wait until the end of August to get one but why not order now? It costs just £4.79 from Amazon in the UK ($7 in the US) and is designed to be a simple and practical guide showing not just how to use email software but also how to use it effectively and sensitively within an organization and as a business tool.

I’m hoping that businesses will hand it out alongside other training materials when they do their new employee inductions to discourage new hires from registering their work email addresses on websites that could sell them on to spammers, emailing everyone in the company to tell them about a missing earring and other email crimes.

Sometime in the next few weeks I will be adding a link from my home page to a resource of email related links and further advice about email use which I couldn’t squeeze into the book.

Ben Edelman at the excellent Berkman Center for the Internet and Society has done a quick and dirty Empirical Analysis of Google SafeSearch which indicates (not surprisingly) that using “Safe Search” to prevent unwanted porn links coming up on your kids’ searches also accidentally (I have to assume) hides pages by the US Congress, NASA’s shuttle programme and numerous entries from Grolier Encyclopedia. It also lets through “numerous sites with sexually-explicit content in response to searches that unambiguously seek such materials, even as the majority of sexually-explicit content does seem to be blocked.”

As Edelman points out, if you use SafeSearch you will never know what was blocked or even how much was blocked so you can’t judge how much is missing. There is also no formal mechanism for warning organizations they have been blocked and no appeals process if they have been improperly blocked.

Yet more evidence (if more were needed) for my concern that search engines have a lot of tacit and even unintended power without a great deal of scrutiny.

At least this report from Veritest seems to suggest so. Mind you it was commissioned by Inktomi. Yahoo bought Inktomi recently so if they switch back to Inktomi for their search engine (as opposed to directory) results it could provide Google with serious competition.2 movie erotica sapphicsecretary movies sexmovies sexualmovies spycammovie squirtsquirting movies pussyboy teen moviesteen girl moviemovies tgp teenmovies masturbating teens

Wired News reports an appeal court ruling in the US that ruled a person forwarding an email containing libellous statements to a mailing list is not themselves guilty of libel. It was suggested that this protection may also extend to webloggers who report stuff that is sent to them.

Of course the truly litigious will simply choose a court jurisdiction that is more favourable to them – the UK for example…

When I first arrived in London I was disappointed that the tube begins to run down around midnight. I still find it a little unhelpful, though I don’t stay out so late much any more so I was happy to “sign” this Late Tube Petition which asks that the tube be kept running until 3am on weekends. I wonder if they’ll get their 100,000 signatures and if so whether Mayor Ken will do anything about them?whores free suck self trannylactating nipple lactating torture, nipplesnude nigerian girlshymen teensat teens voyeurlesbian pthcvaginas imagenes degay ebony men fuckingmature cunts creampiepeeing girls tolite photo camfuck hot moviesporn movies hotjack the ass moviemovie karate kidporn movies koreanclips movie avi jpegmovie preteensex movies sample Map

Cory grouses that T-mobile has withdrawn support for the games built into the Sidekick PDA/communicator and in doing so can automatically delete the games from his device at the same time. He extrapolates from this that they would also remove any other data on the device if he ever left their network. I really doubt T-Mobile could or would delete all his personal data from your Sidekick without his permission. But their unilateral removal of the games does go to show just how un-web-like and closed the mobile phone operators want the mobile “Internet” to be…

[Later] I subsequently discovered that one’s personal data is not held on the Sidekick – it is stored by the network operator. So in fact you might indeed lose all your data (at least if you hadn’t backed it up elsewhere somehow) if you stop paying network charges for the device – so you’d end up with a useless lump of plastic even if you’d bought it outright. Pretty disappointing!

Howard Rheingold via Smart Mobs alerted me to an unusual case where an SMS operator in India broadcast a request for donors of a rare blood type to give blood to help save the life of a patient in Delhi. It appears to have worked. I wonder if other similar public service messages might start to be officially distributed (this appears to have been done “unofficially” as a favour). It just goes to show that even spam doesn’t always have to be a bad thing…granny oma erolog sex sex nlteen gushing orgasmscartoon pharrell createblack women pussy fattits emma watsonshairy open pussies wideunderage asian picslactating breasts men suckingwives cheating black white cockgay videos suck self

I met Cory Doctorow at last (a fellow Torontonian and friends with several of my friends so it was only a matter of time). He really is the “renaissance geek” he describes himself as – time spent in his company is always good food for the brain. So we were chatting and he mentioned a posting on BoingBoing I had overlooked about using unused parts of the GSM spectrum as open spectrum. The UK Radio Authority is currently entertaining proposals for new uses for it.

At first I didn’t see how it was all that exciting – who would make the GSM data receivers? But talking it over with Cory if I understand it right it could be used to allow local operators in, say, council estates – or even wider areas – to run their own mini telcos. And ordinary GSM phones would apparently be able to receive the signals. I don’t know if you could send SMSes for free across such networks with the appropriate servers but you could certainly make WAP-based info available and provide a free Internet gateway using it. It would be rather slow (at best GPRS speeds) but if it was free it would still be useful – and because GSM signals can travel better than WiFi signals you could get better coverage.

Sounds pretty good to me – Julian Priest co-founder of consume.net is trying to work up a proposal to the radio authority to encourage them to make bits of GSM available as open spectrum for experimentation so pop along to the page and help them.association acredited collegestechnology board accreditation engineeringprocessor credit account merchant cardadult videos credit card noonline colleges accredited2007 section tax credits 179union acheva creditadd adverse url http remortgage credit Map

As the US Supreme Court rules that the federal government can make installation of automated censorship software a condition of funding of Internet access for libraries, the Electronic Frontier Foundation produces a report showing such software uses criteria that go well beyond what the government has mandated and therefore blocks more sites than the Children’s Internet Protection Act allows for.

This is not surprising as existing censorware programs are not written specifically with the government’s guidelines in mind – they are commercial products from companies which would rather annoy civil libertarians by blocking too many sites than receive angry letters from neanderthal parents whose children have seen educational material relating to (for example) homosexuality.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist writes, “if a legitimate site was blocked, a user “need only ask a librarian to unblock it or (at least in the case of adults) disable the filter” – this is not to my mind an adequate defense.

What if a child wants to look at a site that is legally permissible but embarrassing like something on sexually transmitted diseases? Are they really going to go and ask their librarian to see it? If you are an adult in a small town library I can see that you might not want to be known as the person who asked to have the filter on their Internet access removed (“what kind of filth was Fred trying to get at?” they might ask down at the barber shop…)

I see the need for some kind of image blocking facility to prevent accidental viewing by minors of offensive images, but software should be funded that does just that and nothing more.pics redhead Hairysagte Geschichte Vater fuck mom Sohnanime Kostenlos lestai Videoclips hentai manga lesbischeAsian ass tailandSeife babes NudeMänner Nude speedosasiatische Mädchen Schulpartnerschaftwifes xxx HouseAlte reiftmasterbating Mädchen peeing
