Streisand effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Streisand effect is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be widely publicized. Examples of such attempts include censoring a photograph, a number, a file, or a website (for example via a cease-and-desist letter). Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity, often being widely mirrored across the Internet, or distributed on file-sharing networks. The effect is related to John Gilmore's observation that "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

A Photo Editor - JPG Magazine Profit And Loss

"the demise of the magazine was contributed to by CEO Mitch Fox and his $500,000 a year salary, the expensive salespeople he hired, launching a travel title called everywhere and preparing a fashion magazine. If that’s true, it’s simply run of the mill magazine making hubris where people assume something that works at one level can be scaled to the next. Maybe this is also the end of an era where a powerful sales staff with serious marketing dollars can bring in more advertising than great content and loyal readers on its own."

Skittles' New Site Is a Lot Like Modernista's Web 2.0 Site - Advertising Age - Digital

"The new Skittles website, just out from Agency.com, looks awfully familiar. In fact, it's virtually the same concept as Modernista's website, introduced a year ago. The site is not really a site at all but an overlay that lives on top of Web 2.0 content, such as Wikipedia, Facebook and Flickr. "

philosecurity » Blog Archive » Interview with an Adware Author

"So we’ve progressed now from having just a Registry key entry, to having an executable, to having a randomly-named executable, to having an executable which is shuffled around a little bit on each machine, to one that’s encrypted– really more just obfuscated– to an executable that doesn’t even run as an executable. It runs merely as a series of threads. Now, those threads can communicate with one another, they would check to make sure that the BHO was there and up, and that the whatever other software we had was also up."

Math Trek: The Power of Being Influenced, Science News Online, Jan. 5, 2008

  • More important than the influencers, the researchers found, were the influenced. Once an idea spread to a critical mass of easily influenced individuals, it took hold and continued to spread to other easily influenced individuals. In some networks, it was far easier to get an idea established this way than in others. The entire structure of the network mattered, not just the few influential people.

  • Lenses and bodies are boring.  What the consumer really wants is numbers, and the bigger the better.  (Square millimetres would be a better objective measurement of image quality, because a physically large sensor will always produce superior pictures to a physically smaller one of the same resolution; but few manufacturers deign to provide this figure.  Probably because they're embarrassed by it.)  Hence the obsession with megapixels.

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

  • Google has refused to run the following sponsored ad and link paid for by  the Northeast Impeachment Coalition and YaliesForImpeachment.org:




    Help Impeach Cheney NOW

    Nonpartisan, the time is here.

    House JC 202-225-3951 Demand ACTION

    YaliesorImpeachment.org



    Google's explanation is the following:




    "At this time, Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group, or organization. In addition, this policy doe not permit the advertisement of websites that advocate against a group protected by law."



    Protected by law?  Since when is the Vice President of the United States protected from free speech?  Political speech is protected speech.  Cheney is a public figure.  Google  does run ads "against" the tobacco industry. We believe this is settled law in the print and TV worlds.  Any legal beagles out there please weigh in.  We'll be forwarding this to the ACLU and the general media Monday morning.  Following is the full text of the email Google sent...
