"Facebook patents technology to help lenders discriminate against borrowers based on social connections"

*Facebook patents technology to help lenders discriminate against borrowers based on social connections* Mark Sullivan August 4, 2015 12:15 PM Facebook has been granted an updated patent from the U.S. Patent office on a technology that can help lenders discriminate against certain borrowers based on the borrower’s social network connections. The patent describes a technology that tracks the way users are connected in a network. The main use case is for preventing members of a network from sending spam to other members with who they’re not directly or legitimately connected. Other use cases involve preventing network members from receiving emails from, or showing up in the search results of, people with whom they have no direct or legitimate connection.

Slate: "Broken Windows Theory"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Aug. 5, 2015

Aug. 5, 2015

*Broken Windows Theory* /*Microsoft’s Windows 10 is a privacy nightmare. Here’s how to protect yourself. */By David Auerbach Windows 10 is the operating system Microsoft needs. In other words, it’s not Windows 8, a Frankenstein’s monster of a tablet-plus-desktop OS that alienated everyone from PC manufacturers to corporate users. Instead, Windows 10 is an incremental improvement on Windows 7, one that is faster, slicker, and has some new bells and whistles, like virtual desktops and functional tablet support. One of Windows 10’s leaps, unfortunately, is straight into your personal data. […] Continua qui: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy…

"Meet the Micro:bit, the BBC's tiny programmable computer for kids"

*Meet the Micro:bit, the BBC's tiny programmable computer for kids* by Nick Summers | @nisummers | July 7th 2015 at 5:57am The Raspberry Pi has been a huge success story for Britain, giving millions of people an affordable way to tinker and learn with pocket-sized hardware. Now, the BBC is hoping to make a similar impact with the "Micro:bit." Like the Raspberry Pi, this tiny computer has been created to help youngsters learn the fundamentals of programming and computer construction. Today in London, the broadcaster unveiled the Micro:bit's final design -- a rectangular, credit card-style board measuring 4cm by 5cm -- and some of the all-important hardware features. These include 25 red LEDs, which can show messages and facilitate games, two programmable buttons, an on-board accelerometer and magnetometer. The device also offers Bluetooth LE connectivity, a microUSB slot and five input and output (I/O) rings that can be hooked up with crocodile clips and 4mm banana plugs. It's been a while since the original BBC Micro was considered cutting edge, but even so -- this new device is roughly 18 times faster and 67 times lighter than its spiritual predecessor.
