It is disturbing that in Facebook now EVERYONE can view profile information such as who my friends are and what groups I belong to. Facebook now decided to consider this public information and doesn’t allow users to protect this info or only let friends view this.I’m surprised that this is in line with German data protection laws…
Suchmaschinen dürfen jedes Profil scannen, Anwendungen von Drittanbietern persönliche Details abgreifen – die Standard-Einstellungen bei Facebook präsentieren die Mitglieder-Informationen sehr freizügig. SPIEGEL ONLINE erklärt, wie Mitglieder die Kontrolle über ihre Daten behalten.

Da scheinen wohl eher bei den Offline-Kapitalisten von Springer die Sicherungen rausgeflogen zu sein…
Viel Glück mit dem Web-Lokalpresse-Business-Model wünsche ich da nur!
“Sicherungen herausgeflogen”, “Wahnsinn”, “Web-Kommunisten”: Springer-Chef Döpfner und der stellvertretende Chef des “Hamburger Abendblatts” beschimpfen die eigene Branche. Der Geiz des Lesers bedrohe den Journalismus. Dabei ist das WWW gar nicht kostenlos.

It all depends what you call a breakthrough…

Donald Norman ’s recent essay Technology First, Needs Last, in which he argues that “design research is great when it comes to improving existing product categories but essentially useless when it comes to new, innovative breakthroughs,” has started a big discussion.
Steve Portigal started the debate with a piece which intends to “to reframe rather than refute” Norman’s argument. Nicolas Nova thinks that Norman’s piece reflects “a narrow understanding of what field research about people can convey”. Nova also takes issue with the “distinction between improvement and breakthrough (or what [Norman] calls “revolutionary innovation”).” Perhaps, Nova says,” it’s a framing issue but the notion of a “breakthrough” seems a bit weird when one think about the whole history of technologies. This terms seems more appealing to the marketing/business people than observer of how objects evolved over time.’ Todd Zaki Warfel writes he “couldn’t disagree more with the content of the [Norman] essay. He singles out both “how Don defines design research” and Norman’s claim that innovations “are invariably driven by the development of new technologies.” Nikos Karaoulanis argues that that Norman’s essay “really lends to the argument that design research and especially design thinking is absolutely crucial, if not critical to designing in our time.” Adam Richardson says: “I actually agree[s] with much of what he says, though I see the definition of design research he’s using as overly narrow.” Check also the comments on each of these pieces. |
