Does what happen in Facebook stay in Facebook?
OK, this video from 2006 may be a little overblown, but conspiracy theories aside there is some questions worth asking here. Particularly when you consider the connections the author draws between some of Facebook's investors. We're not talking just about marketing firms here, we're talking about CIA and DARPA. It's a little tin-foil hat, but come on, in a country where something like the Total Information Awareness Project can be proposed by our defense department, anything is possible.
The video is well done so I will forgive the author the constant errors of referring to Facebook as "the Facebook" and asking the audience "do you have a Facebook?" :-)

Clarity Sought on Electronics Searches
The title of this Washington Post article fails to do the material justice. This has to do with U.S. customs officials that have been requiring travelers to turn over laptop passwords (booting their laptops to verify it is correct), copying web history i

Command Line Warriors : Encrypt Your Home Directory
This is a really great guide for setting up your /home directory as an encrypted partition in Linux. Since I'm always a bit data paranoid, and am a sucker for any kind of software tinkering, I think I'll give this a try on my laptop when I get it back fr

Unit Structures: We're not sheep, you're just not paying attention
"[Bloggers] look at Facebook's growing numbers, see the impressive trends, and conclude we don't care about privacy or anything else Facebook does. This logic is flawed, of course - it's sort of like saying any American who doesn't renounce their cit

Unit Structures: Weinberger on Facebook Privacy
Beacon is looking worse and worse. I'm getting the feeling that Facebook really screwed this up. They need to fix it soon before they seriously freak out their users.

Unit Structures: Data Sharing with Facebook's Beacon
This is a troubling revelation into how at least one of the sites integrating with Facebook's Beacon sends your browsing data back to Facebook. As Fred Stutzman points out, this is just one implementation, and Facebook may not have much say in how it was
