  • Darüberhinaus konnte sich jeder als ein angemeldetes Kind ausgeben und als dieses in der Community agieren.

Facebook/Super Rewards Lead Generation Scam « Ciao, Enrico!

  • each time they try to leverage their user lists or find a new way to sell advertising, they get into trouble for it. Somehow, this kind of advertising has flown under everyone’s radar as something worth complaining about. So they keep doing business with these kinds of companies.

Worst Twitter Post Ever

  • Much has been made of Ketchum vp James Andrews, who became an international embarrassment to Ketchum when he used his Twitter account to insult Memphis, the hometown of client Fedex, the morning before he was to meet with them there. The tweet was copied to Fedex’s marketing management, and a predictable round of corporate apologizing followed. Here’s a summary of what happened, when it happened, and who noticed.

  • Here’s what Andrews’ Tweet actually said:


    True confession but i’m in one of those towns where I scratch my head and say “I would die if I had to live here!”

ENISA Position Paper "Security and Privacy in Virtual Worlds and Gaming"

Malicious programs that specifically target online games and virtual worlds aimed at stealing online game passwords are becoming a serious problem. Such malware is invariably aimed at the theft of virtual property accumulated in a user’s account and its sale for real money. The failure to recognise the importance of protecting the real-money value locked up in this grey-zone of the economy is leading to an exponential increase in attacks targeting online MMO/VWs.

The main body of this report describes in detail these risks and others, including privacy risks in MMO's, in-game access-control vulnerabilities, scripting vulnerabilities, denial of service, spam and threats to minors, before making a number of recommendations on how to remedy them.

To provide evidence for the report, we conducted a survey of 1500 users of MMO/VWs. The complete results can be viewed at the following link:

5 reasons to avoid iPhone 3G - Free Software Foundation

  • There is a reason so much emphasis was put on the visual design of the iPhone.
    There is a reason that Apple is so concerned about unsightly seams that they
    won't even let you change the battery in your own phone.



    Apple, through its marketing and visual design techniques, is manufacturing an
    illusion that merely buying an Apple makes you part of an alternative
    community. But the technology they use is explicitly chosen to divide people
    into separate digital cells, and to position Apple as sole warden.

  • But there is an important difference between the iPhone and prior
    general-purpose computers: The iPhone is broken, on purpose. It is in theory
    capable of running many different kinds of programs, but software applications
    and media will be limited via Apple's ironically named Digital Restrictions
    Management technology -- "FairPlay".

Datenschutz: Handlungsempfehlung zum Datenschutz in Web 2.0-Netzwerken

  • Die obersten Aufsichtsbehörden haben vor mehreren Jahren eine informelle Vereinigung zur Überwachung des Datenschutzes im nicht-öffentlichen Bereich gegründet. Ursprüngliches Ziel war eine Vereinheitlichung des Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (BDSG). Dieser "Düsseldorfer Kreis" trifft sich ein- bis zweimal im Jahr und verfügt über mindestens sechs ständige Arbeitsgruppen (Auskunfteien, Internationaler Datenverkehr, Kreditwirtschaft, Technik, Telemedien und Versicherungswirtschaft). Bei seiner letzten Sitzung im April 2008 in Wiesbaden unter Vorsitz des Regierungspräsidiums Darmstadt hat das Gremium eine Handlungsempfehlung zur Sicherung und Einhaltung des Datenschutzes in Web 2.0-Netzwerken (PDF) erarbeitet, die nun auch kostenlos zum Abruf bereit steht.
  • Insbesondere seien folgende rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen einzuhalten:
