The Server Needs To Die To Save The Internet | TechCrunch
Just tweeted(July 24, 2014 at 03:50PM): “D o we have the Internet we deserve? There’s an argument to say that yes, we absolutely do. Given web users’ general reluctance to pay for content.

Just not with cold hard cash, but with our privacy — as digital business models rely on gathering and selling intel on their users to make the money to pay (the investors who paid) for the free service.” See here

The Web never forgets: Persistent tracking mechanisms in the wild
Just tweeted(July 23, 2014 at 01:28PM): the rst large-scale studies of three advanced web tracking mechanisms | canvas ngerprinting, evercookies and use of \cookie syncing" in conjunction with evercookies. Canvas ngerprinting, a recently developed form of browser ngerprinting, has not previously been reported in the wild; our results show that over 5% of the top 100,000 websites employ it. We then present the rst automated study of evercookies and respawning and the discovery of a new evercookie vector, IndexedDB. Turning to cookie syncing, we present novel techniques for detection and analysing ID ows and we quantify the amplication of privacy-intrusive tracking practices due to cookie syncing. See here
Bitcoins Mining split #bitcoin diagram
Just tweeted(July 21, 2014 at 03:59PM): There are generally two types of articles out there describing how bitcoins are mined: the dense and technical, or the simple and vague. This article will attempt to strike a balance between the two by starting with the foundations of Bitcoin and working up.

Just tweeted(July 17, 2014 at 03:06PM): “Apple has a new patent out (via AppleInsider) that describes a method for locking a device or asking a user for proof of their identity if the device detects a pattern of unusual behavior. It’s a security method that goes beyond the standard pins and passwords, letting your phone pick up on cues like your specific grammar habits, vocabulary, motion sensor information and particular gesture entry style to build a profile of who you are as a mobile device user. Any deviation from that established pattern will then prompt the phone to take action.” See here
