This article said that e-book market must remember that they should work to have more people use the e-book services in a convenient way, too. This is the point. Whatever e-book is so useful, if many people feel hard to process, it is useless. According to this article, I can know about the e-book more. I expect the growth of e-book industry.
4. The creation of greater electronic book contents should be the priority in competing with global rivals like Apple, as the e-book industry is expected to bloom with the introduction of tablet PCs, a research said Tuesday.
The state-run Korea Information Society Development Institute said in its report that contents which could be differentiated -- like school textbooks and Korean dramas, movies and animations -- should be digitalized to increase the demand.
The contents should be made available for the different platforms, which differ depending on the hardware manufacturer, to encourage more participation from content developers.
“Those taking part in the e-book market must remember that they should work to have more people use the e-book services in a convenient way,“ it said.
The report has been released as multiple tablet PCs, such as Apple’s iPad and Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Tab, are expected to hit the market this year.

Nobody spotted the Google car crossing the Golden Gate Bridge Engineers at Google have tested a self-driving car on the streets of California, the company has announced.
The cars use video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic, software engineer Sebastian Thrun said. They remain manned at all times by a trained driver ready to take control as well as by a software expert.
Google hopes the cars can eventually help reduce road traffic and cut the number of accidents.
In a posting on the company's official blog, Mr Thrun said the self-driven cars had so far covered 140,000 miles on the road. They have crossed San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate bridge, negotiated the city's famous sloping streets, driven between Google offices, and made it around Lake Tahoe in one piece.
Engineers told the New York Times that the forays onto the highways have been largely incident-free, apart from one bump when the car was reportedly hit from behind at a traffic light.
Google's Street View cars have mapped streets around the world In his Google blog post, Mr Thrun - professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University - insisted that safety was the "first priority" in the project. Routes are pre-planned, mapped first by real drivers, and local police are briefed in advance, he says.
But he pointed to figures from the World Health Organization which show that more than 1.2 million people are killed each year on the roads, and said that number could and should be reduced.
"We believe our technology has the potential to cut that number, perhaps by as much as half. "While this project is very much in the experimental stage, it provides a glimpse of what transportation might look like in the future thanks to advanced computer science. And that future is very exciting," he added.
Google has rapidly branched out from its previous core business of search in recent years. The company already has significant interests in location services through its Google Maps and Google Street View offerings

2. Various application of smart phone, but there is discrepancy in ability by age.
3. I still use my old cellphone, this is four years ago's. To tell the truth, I'm contented with only talking on the phone.
Then one day I left my cellphone on my desk, so I borrowed friend's cell phone, and it is smartphone. After one phone call, I try to use various application.
However it's my first time, I need few times adapting to new systems. At that moment, I thought that this system is very hard in the middle aged.
The young generation may use smartphone 100&, but over 40's can't. In some ways this is inequality in information.
Phone call, internet, web serching etc these are smartphone's various applications. 20's or 30's may use applications quite freely, but over 40's need some study.
Kang, Univ senior, use his smartphone and he know arrival of school bus or empty seat at the library. He said that "I think I can save time for this".
Whenever you download new applications, your world will broaden. Also he said that "My applications are about 80 - 90 things in total".
And you may open accurate map by one touch. Delivery man Ahn said that "Navigation application helps my prompt action and smartphone is portalbe.
On the other hand over 40's far from using applications, they have difficulty only typing.
Lee is going to class about using smartphone. She said that "I want to use cellphone and computer all, so I'm taking this class.
3. Earlier this year, Google, the largest search company, withdrew its business from China for the reason of censorship on it. I think its decision should be praised and China forgot something important. Basically, China has not been allowed to let their people see and find information itself on the web, however, historically, no countries had ever succeeded in preventing freedom coming. Even so far, efforts of Chinese government were success very partly because the Chinese are not stupid, and they've got through it. Therefore, I hope Chinese government will stop doing silly.
-------------------------- 4. Google is expected to announce on Monday that it will withdraw from China on April 10, according to a report in a Beijing-based newspaper that cited an unidentified sales associate who works with the company.
"I have received information saying that Google will leave China on April 10, but this information has not at present been confirmed by Google," the China Business News quoted the agent as saying. The report also said Google would reveal its plans for its China-based staff that day.
A Google representative declined to comment on the report.
Google, which has a significant share of the search market in China, announced in January that it no longer intended to censor search results in that country and would consider leaving entirely. Google has identified China as the source of attacks on prominent U.S. Web properties and e-mail accounts belonging to human rights activists, though it has not revealed the specific people behind them. For its part, the Chinese government has denied any involvement.
After months of negotiations over whether it can run Google.cn with or without restrictions, it seemed that Google was getting ready to make a decision in the near-term future. However, according to a Financial Times report last week, Google is now "99.9 percent" certain that it will shut down Google.cn.
The Chinese government has reportedly warned Google business partners to prepare for the day when they can't use Google services such as a search bar on their Web sites. Earlier this week, Google confirmed that it had received a letter purportedly signed by 27 advertising partners in China that complained of a lack of communication on the part of Google and demanded to know how they would be compensated if the company withdrew from China.

Even, the Chinese are not stupid, they know what to do and what is wrong.

3. Modern society is called an information-oriented society. The prevalence of computers has had influence on modern society, and people cannot live without internet. As you can see the word ‘Ubiquitous’, internet are necessary items in the world. For this reason, computers have the reverse side of the medal.
Some say that the computer have made our lives complicated. For example, there are many programs that we should learn about Searching for information, Buy through the internet shopping mall, etc. We have to study at least one of them because many job markets require getting computer certification. These are also necessary for graduation. In other case, we are always worried about computer security. As computer networks become increasingly complicated, we need to mind our security from security breaches and online attack risks. As a result, individuals should cooperate with others for security because computer systems and networks are an essential part of our lives.
3. People didn't get around outside for shopping because they can purchase products on the Internet. They can choose the best product in the home through the Internet. Even the same product, they can purchase product cheaply through the Internet. In addition, it is useful to purchase the product that does not sell in the normal store. After purchasing a product, products are arrived on the front of the house. The internet shopping properly is accomplished by feedback between consumer and producer. As the consumer leave a review, producer can know responses of consumers. And consumer who purchase the same product after determine if the product purchase after they saw the consumers' review.

Lotte supermarket said that ice cream is delivered in one day if consumers order with Lotte supermarket's internet market. They explain that the ice cream doesn't melt in the scorching heat because it Is kept at low temperature through dry ice.
Most major items of ices' representative 4 companies can purchase. In order to keep freezing condition, it is sold by at least 12 over package products. Lotte supermarket officials said, "It expect to groups of many purchases."
1.Yun Yeon Jung 2.Privacy loopholes in social networking 3.When I look into my friend's iphone, I found "Kakao talk" app. I thought it is quite good app and I envied her. It takes no money send message between smartphone users. But On the lists, So many friends are there, so i asked her. "Hey, Do u message all?" ,she answered "No, I dont know exactly all them, but this list just save smartphone user's number automatically". It was quite interesting to me. But nowadays This problem is discussed. Because of privacy problem. Someone doesnt want to save their number automatically other people's phone without their agreement. Nowadays privacy is very important problem. So If my privacy (number or fb pictures) stuffs are opened to other people automatically, It would make me mad. We have to protect our privacy from others. Smartphone users have to consider about this problems too.
------------------------- Heo Hyun-hye, a 31-year-old office worker in Seoul, was dumbfounded when her smartphone’s messaging application Kakao Talk automatically added the phone number of a guy she once had contacted for a blind date. She didn’t know about it until the guy actually said hello to her through the messenger app.
“You don’t feel very comfortable if a guy you want to forget says hello to you,” Heo told The Korea Herald. Because she had deleted the guy’s number, she never expected to see him on the mobile messenger.
“What’s sillier is that the guy had thought like me, too. The guy told me that he deleted my number from his phone but I was on his messenger list. That’s why he said hello to me to ask if I hadn’t delete his number,” she said.
Feeling uncomfortable, Heo said she would delete her Kakao Talk account and wipe out the application for good, although many of the other 2 million Korean smartphone owners are using the app.
Heo’s case is just one of the many privacy loopholes in social networking services that can be personally intimidating or exploited commercially.
Kim Woo-tae, a 30-year-old certified public accountant in Seoul, was angry when he found that his friend had uploaded a group photo on Facebook and tagged him without asking his permission.
Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site with its subscribers exceeding 500 million, allows users to tag usernames of third-parties, which can be revealed to strangers without their consent.
“What made me really furious was that even after I told my friend to close the photo, he didn’t, saying it wouldn’t be a big deal. That was really annoying,” Kim said.
While most users do not bother to read Facebook’s privacy policy statement, it clearly states that it cannot ensure that information users share on the online or mobile service will not become publicly available.
“We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures on Facebook,” it says.
There are frequent news reports about how social networking tools are being used by sexual predators and identity stealers.
1. KIM JIO 2. Anachronistic Ban 3. The power easy to love oppression. Foucault said the power makes docile bodies through ban. Nobody, include teachers, know why should wear white socks in school uniform. Somebody got a reason: be student, look clean. Not only information society, the power want to control communication. Like, the Reformation was possible after the development of printing. It's not a matter of specific device, Blackberries, it's a matter of way to communication freely. The (real, uncontrolled)communication makes human free. That's why North Korea government hold under control of Internet, President Lee piss off of the Internet reply(or twitter).

United Arab Emirates will not ban Blackberries
Those who use the popular service in UAE will be pleased the ban is lifted The United Arab Emirates has said it will not go ahead with plans to ban Blackberry services, following talks with maker Research in Motion.
It had threatened to suspend all services from 11 October.
The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority confirmed that it is satisfied services on the devices are now compliant with its security needs.
It had said Blackberries posed a risk because the network was encrypted and data stored abroad.
Similar bans
Continue reading the main story Related stories UAE Blackberry update was spyware Gulf states unveil Blackberry ban The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said in a statement: "All Blackberry services in the UAE will continue to operate as normal and no suspension of service will occur on October 11, 2010".
The TRA also acknowledged "the positive engagement and collaboration of Research In Motion (RIM) in reaching this regulatory compliant outcome".
Research in Motion (RIM) has found itself at the centre of a series of rows with countries unhappy with the way data is stored on the device.
India and Saudi Arabia have threatened similar bans.
RIM has always made it clear that it would not change the architecture of its service to placate countries wishing to extend their surveillance powers.
"It is unclear what will have changed in the nature of the RIM service," said Tony Cripps, principal analyst at Ovum.
"As such we can only hypothesise that some kind of workaround has been agreed in terms and conditions between the UAE regulator and local carriers ...to gain access to e-mails sent over the Blackberry service," he said.
RIM said in a statement that it would not discuss the details of the discusisions with the TRA. "RIM confirms that it continues to approach lawful access matters internationally within the framework of core principles that were publicly communicated in August," it said.
In August RIM sought to reassure customers that it would only allow governments to access services "in the strict context of lawful access and national security" and that no greater access than that given by rival firms would be granted.
It also stated that it would make no changes to the security architecture for Blackberry business customers.
At the time it said: "Contrary to any rumours, the security architecture is the same around the world and RIM truly has no ability to provide its customers' encryption keys."
3. On-line shopping mall is very convenient. Sometimes I used to shopping on the internet. Few month ago, I bought sneakers through internet shopping mall. But the stuff is not arrived. Soon after, web site is shut down. And I've tried to call, but there was no answer the phone. With the rise online shopping, the victims of fraud are increse. In addition, Internet fraud is becoming more and more complicated.

2: 2: Make sure the Web site is valid and trustworthy
3: Check to see whether the Internet connection is secure
4: Beware of deceptive or disguised offers
5: If actively shopping on the Internet, check often for unusual debit/credit card transactions
Extra tip: Call the order in if there is any doubt
Another extra tip: Keep track of monthly or revolving debit/credit card charges
1. Park Cheong-mi 2. I don't like talkative friend. 3. Face book is global social network website. The number of users is almost 500 million. Because the way of Face book is that I write something, and then my friends read it, write a comment soon, lots of people use it. This kind of SNS is growing recently with supply of smart phone.The purpose of using this is nearly for friendship. People write seeing, eating and thinking.And these are used as an chatting material. lately, it has a problem. People are addicted. This status affects everyday life. People don't share true emotion. They are sticked to shallow on-line relationship. And In spite of myself, I choose people who I want to meet.The more SNS grows, the more the problem appears.
--------------------------------
5. A study shows that people updating lots of their private lives in SNS like Face book are largely disconnected from friend. People are tired of writting about someting to eat, working hours for a day, their favorit singer, etc. People misunderstand that others like these things. If people manage badly their Face book's writing and friend, it has a bad effect on getting a job.
I interviewed smartphone users during this winter vacation. When I questioned about SNS, most of them answered that the purpose of SNS is friendship. They said that when they update their private lives, the reaction of friend is interesting. But when I read this article, I realize that it is not always true. However the purpose is friendship, if it is excessive, it makes people living in flood of information weary.
1. Jeong So Ra 2. Twitter and Facebook Used in Stock Fraud Schemes 3. Our world is changing rapidly. Social networking methods have changed diversely. I think social networking using on-line technology is information media, not communication methods any more. Which occurs the problems of inequality. Some people who are able to access valuable information would succeed in economic field. They give and take their own information one another. They make themselves close-network. But, Others can't. This news is about the proceeding that people get hegemony in their life using on-line networking Such as twitter and facebook. and even the fraud happened. what we think that it is good to our life might be false. 4. ------------------------------------------------------------- Social networking sites Twitter and Facebook were used in online versions of a classic "pump and dump" stock fraud, netting around $7 million. The fraud was discovered during a cocaine-trafficking probe, said U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday.
The sites were used to "defraud the investing public into purchasing stocks that were being manipulated by participants in the conspiracy," according to a statement by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office.
The U.S. Attorney's office said that 11 out of the 22 people charged used more than 15 websites, Facebook pages and Twitter feeds to commit wire fraud in the stocks scheme. The group, based in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania, used the social networking sites to promote top picks in penny stocks, supposedly based on their own expertise and independent research.
Suckers? Maybe, Maybe Not Before you laugh, thinking to yourself " there's a sucker born every minute," let's remember - there are, in fact, legitimate businesses that do the same thing these scammers were doing in their fraud scheme.
StockTwits, for example, is an online community of investors where users sign in with their Twitter account to keep track of stock-related news. The service pulls in tweets tagged with a $ before a stock symbol (ex.: $AAPL). And in June of this year, CNN Money and MarketWatch began using the service to curate tweets for syndication via website widgets. In August, StockTwits partnered with SecondMarket to track private stocks, too.
Competing service FINIF Financial Informatics, does something similar - it gathers sentiment reports in real-time from SEC filings, news headlines and Twitter. FINIF scans all recent Twitter updates that reference a stock symbol and then measures the sentiment using a custom word list to create the "sentiment score" for a given stock.
Plenty of smart and savvy investors use services like these to augment their research into various stocks. In other words, getting investment advice via Twitter isn't as dumb as you may think.
The trick is knowing when that advice is worth acting on. For those duped out of the $7 million, the penny stocks touted as "good bets" by the scammers obviously weren't.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter are commenting on the announcement, according to Reuters (and we've confirmed).

Local air carriers ― Asiana Airlines and Korean Air ― also have Twitter accounts that offer flight reviews, emergency announcements of delayed or cancelled flight schedules, and notify customers about any upcoming events.
Twitter is emerging as an effective marketing tool for local businesses for it offers instant communication with customers at an affordable cost. It is likely to increase the level of customer satisfaction due to its quick response time.
Those who have Twitter accounts can receive or release an 140-word message by “following” another user who has an account and vice versa.
Global airlines like Cathay Pacific opened up an exclusive account for Korean customers earlier this week to draw a greater number of younger customers who frequently use the Internet.
Retailers, such as department stores, coffee shops and franchises, are also introducing their new products and announcing their sale seasons through the social networking site.

ReplyDelete2. Various application of smart phone, but there is discrepancy in ability by age.
3. I still use my old cellphone, this is four years ago's. To tell the truth, I'm contented
with only talking on the phone.
Then one day I left my cellphone on my desk, so I borrowed friend's cell phone, and it is smartphone. After one phone call, I try to use various application.
However it's my first time, I need few times adapting to new systems. At that moment, I thought that this system is very hard in the middle aged.
The young generation may use smartphone 100&, but over 40's can't. In some ways this is inequality in information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone call, internet, web serching etc these are smartphone's various applications.
20's or 30's may use applications quite freely, but over 40's need some study.
Kang, Univ senior, use his smartphone and he know arrival of school bus or empty seat at the library. He said that "I think I can save time for this".
Whenever you download new applications, your world will broaden. Also he said that "My applications are about 80 - 90 things in total".
And you may open accurate map by one touch. Delivery man Ahn said that "Navigation
application helps my prompt action and smartphone is portalbe.
On the other hand over 40's far from using applications, they have difficulty only typing.
Lee is going to class about using smartphone. She said that "I want to use cellphone and computer all, so I'm taking this class.
Smartphones have everything you need.

ReplyDelete2. Google's noble decision in China
3. Earlier this year, Google, the largest search company, withdrew its business from China for the reason of censorship on it. I think its decision should be praised and China forgot something important. Basically, China has not been allowed to let their people see and find information itself on the web, however, historically, no countries had ever succeeded in preventing freedom coming. Even so far, efforts of Chinese government were success very partly because the Chinese are not stupid, and they've got through it. Therefore, I hope Chinese government will stop doing silly.
--------------------------
4. Google is expected to announce on Monday that it will withdraw from China on April 10, according to a report in a Beijing-based newspaper that cited an unidentified sales associate who works with the company.
"I have received information saying that Google will leave China on April 10, but this information has not at present been confirmed by Google," the China Business News quoted the agent as saying. The report also said Google would reveal its plans for its China-based staff that day.
A Google representative declined to comment on the report.
Google, which has a significant share of the search market in China, announced in January that it no longer intended to censor search results in that country and would consider leaving entirely. Google has identified China as the source of attacks on prominent U.S. Web properties and e-mail accounts belonging to human rights activists, though it has not revealed the specific people behind them. For its part, the Chinese government has denied any involvement.
After months of negotiations over whether it can run Google.cn with or without restrictions, it seemed that Google was getting ready to make a decision in the near-term future. However, according to a Financial Times report last week, Google is now "99.9 percent" certain that it will shut down Google.cn.
The Chinese government has reportedly warned Google business partners to prepare for the day when they can't use Google services such as a search bar on their Web sites. Earlier this week, Google confirmed that it had received a letter purportedly signed by 27 advertising partners in China that complained of a lack of communication on the part of Google and demanded to know how they would be compensated if the company withdrew from China.

I think Google made a right decision and Chinese government should stop doing silly anymore. The Chinese still have very limited access to a number of information itself on the web because their government doesn't allow to do so, however, historically, no countries had ever succeeded in preventing freedom coming. Even, the Chinese are not stupid, they know what to do and what is wrong.

ReplyDelete2. People of Ubiquitous
3. Modern society is called an information-oriented society. The prevalence of computers has had influence on modern society, and people cannot live without internet. As you can see the word ‘Ubiquitous’, internet are necessary items in the world. For this reason, computers have the reverse side of the medal.
Some say that the computer have made our lives complicated. For example, there are many programs that we should learn about Searching for information, Buy through the internet shopping mall, etc. We have to study at least one of them because many job markets require getting computer certification. These are also necessary for graduation. In other case, we are always worried about computer security. As computer networks become increasingly complicated, we need to mind our security from security breaches and online attack risks. As a result, individuals should cooperate with others for security because computer systems and networks are an essential part of our lives.

3. People didn't get around outside for shopping because they can purchase products on the Internet. They can choose the best product in the home through the Internet. Even the same product, they can purchase product cheaply through the Internet. In addition, it is useful to purchase the product that does not sell in the normal store. After purchasing a product, products are arrived on the front of the house.
The internet shopping properly is accomplished by feedback between consumer and producer. As the consumer leave a review, producer can know responses of consumers. And consumer who purchase the same product after determine if the product purchase after they saw the consumers' review.

ReplyDelete2.Privacy loopholes in social networking
3.When I look into my friend's iphone, I found "Kakao talk" app. I thought it is quite good app and I envied her. It takes no money send message between smartphone users. But On the lists, So many friends are there, so i asked her. "Hey, Do u message all?" ,she answered "No, I dont know exactly all them, but this list just save smartphone user's number automatically". It was quite interesting to me. But nowadays This problem is discussed. Because of privacy problem. Someone doesnt want to save their number automatically other people's phone without their agreement. Nowadays privacy is very important problem. So If my privacy (number or fb pictures) stuffs are opened to other people automatically, It would make me mad. We have to protect our privacy from others. Smartphone users have to consider about this problems too.
-------------------------
Heo Hyun-hye, a 31-year-old office worker in Seoul, was dumbfounded when her smartphone’s messaging application Kakao Talk automatically added the phone number of a guy she once had contacted for a blind date. She didn’t know about it until the guy actually said hello to her through the messenger app.
“You don’t feel very comfortable if a guy you want to forget says hello to you,” Heo told The Korea Herald. Because she had deleted the guy’s number, she never expected to see him on the mobile messenger.
“What’s sillier is that the guy had thought like me, too. The guy told me that he deleted my number from his phone but I was on his messenger list. That’s why he said hello to me to ask if I hadn’t delete his number,” she said.
Feeling uncomfortable, Heo said she would delete her Kakao Talk account and wipe out the application for good, although many of the other 2 million Korean smartphone owners are using the app.
Heo’s case is just one of the many privacy loopholes in social networking services that can be personally intimidating or exploited commercially.
Kim Woo-tae, a 30-year-old certified public accountant in Seoul, was angry when he found that his friend had uploaded a group photo on Facebook and tagged him without asking his permission.
Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site with its subscribers exceeding 500 million, allows users to tag usernames of third-parties, which can be revealed to strangers without their consent.
“What made me really furious was that even after I told my friend to close the photo, he didn’t, saying it wouldn’t be a big deal. That was really annoying,” Kim said.
While most users do not bother to read Facebook’s privacy policy statement, it clearly states that it cannot ensure that information users share on the online or mobile service will not become publicly available.
“We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures on Facebook,” it says.
There are frequent news reports about how social networking tools are being used by sexual predators and identity stealers.

ReplyDelete2. Anachronistic Ban
3. The power easy to love oppression. Foucault said the power makes docile bodies through ban. Nobody, include teachers, know why should wear white socks in school uniform. Somebody got a reason: be student, look clean. Not only information society, the power want to control communication. Like, the Reformation was possible after the development of printing. It's not a matter of specific device, Blackberries, it's a matter of way to communication freely. The (real, uncontrolled)communication makes human free. That's why North Korea government hold under control of Internet, President Lee piss off of the Internet reply(or twitter).

United Arab Emirates will not ban Blackberries
Those who use the popular service in UAE will be pleased the ban is lifted The United Arab Emirates has said it will not go ahead with plans to ban Blackberry services, following talks with maker Research in Motion.
It had threatened to suspend all services from 11 October.
The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority confirmed that it is satisfied services on the devices are now compliant with its security needs.
It had said Blackberries posed a risk because the network was encrypted and data stored abroad.

The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said in a statement: "All Blackberry services in the UAE will continue to operate as normal and no suspension of service will occur on October 11, 2010".
The TRA also acknowledged "the positive engagement and collaboration of Research In Motion (RIM) in reaching this regulatory compliant outcome".
Research in Motion (RIM) has found itself at the centre of a series of rows with countries unhappy with the way data is stored on the device.
India and Saudi Arabia have threatened similar bans.
RIM has always made it clear that it would not change the architecture of its service to placate countries wishing to extend their surveillance powers.
"It is unclear what will have changed in the nature of the RIM service," said Tony Cripps, principal analyst at Ovum.
"As such we can only hypothesise that some kind of workaround has been agreed in terms and conditions between the UAE regulator and local carriers ...to gain access to e-mails sent over the Blackberry service," he said.
RIM said in a statement that it would not discuss the details of the discusisions with the TRA. "RIM confirms that it continues to approach lawful access matters internationally within the framework of core principles that were publicly communicated in August," it said.
In August RIM sought to reassure customers that it would only allow governments to access services "in the strict context of lawful access and national security" and that no greater access than that given by rival firms would be granted.
It also stated that it would make no changes to the security architecture for Blackberry business customers.
At the time it said: "Contrary to any rumours, the security architecture is the same around the world and RIM truly has no ability to provide its customers' encryption keys."

ReplyDelete2. I don't like talkative friend.
3. Face book is global social network website. The number of users is almost 500 million. Because the way of Face book is that I write something, and then my friends read it, write a comment soon, lots of people use it. This kind of SNS is growing recently with supply of smart phone.The purpose of using this is nearly for friendship. People write seeing, eating and thinking.And these are used as an chatting material. lately, it has a problem. People are addicted. This status affects everyday life. People don't share true emotion. They are sticked to shallow on-line relationship. And In spite of myself, I choose people who I want to meet.The more SNS grows, the more the problem appears.
--------------------------------
5. A study shows that people updating lots of their private lives in SNS like Face book are largely disconnected from friend. People are tired of writting about someting to eat, working hours for a day, their favorit singer, etc. People misunderstand that others like these things. If people manage badly their Face book's writing and friend, it has a bad effect on getting a job.
I interviewed smartphone users during this winter vacation. When I questioned about SNS, most of them answered that the purpose of SNS is friendship. They said that when they update their private lives, the reaction of friend is interesting. But when I read this article, I realize that it is not always true. However the purpose is friendship, if it is excessive, it makes people living in flood of information weary.

ReplyDelete2. Twitter and Facebook Used in Stock Fraud Schemes
3. Our world is changing rapidly. Social networking methods have changed diversely. I think social networking using on-line technology is information media, not communication methods any more. Which occurs the problems of inequality. Some people who are able to access valuable information would succeed in economic field. They give and take their own information one another. They make themselves close-network. But, Others can't.
This news is about the proceeding that people get hegemony in their life using on-line networking Such as twitter and facebook. and even the fraud happened. what we think that it is good to our life might be false.
4. -------------------------------------------------------------
Social networking sites Twitter and Facebook were used in online versions of a classic "pump and dump" stock fraud, netting around $7 million. The fraud was discovered during a cocaine-trafficking probe, said U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday.
The sites were used to "defraud the investing public into purchasing stocks that were being manipulated by participants in the conspiracy," according to a statement by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office.
The U.S. Attorney's office said that 11 out of the 22 people charged used more than 15 websites, Facebook pages and Twitter feeds to commit wire fraud in the stocks scheme. The group, based in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania, used the social networking sites to promote top picks in penny stocks, supposedly based on their own expertise and independent research.
Suckers? Maybe, Maybe Not
Before you laugh, thinking to yourself " there's a sucker born every minute," let's remember - there are, in fact, legitimate businesses that do the same thing these scammers were doing in their fraud scheme.
StockTwits, for example, is an online community of investors where users sign in with their Twitter account to keep track of stock-related news. The service pulls in tweets tagged with a $ before a stock symbol (ex.: $AAPL). And in June of this year, CNN Money and MarketWatch began using the service to curate tweets for syndication via website widgets. In August, StockTwits partnered with SecondMarket to track private stocks, too.
Competing service FINIF Financial Informatics, does something similar - it gathers sentiment reports in real-time from SEC filings, news headlines and Twitter. FINIF scans all recent Twitter updates that reference a stock symbol and then measures the sentiment using a custom word list to create the "sentiment score" for a given stock.
Plenty of smart and savvy investors use services like these to augment their research into various stocks. In other words, getting investment advice via Twitter isn't as dumb as you may think.
The trick is knowing when that advice is worth acting on. For those duped out of the $7 million, the penny stocks touted as "good bets" by the scammers obviously weren't.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter are commenting on the announcement, according to Reuters (and we've confirmed).
