Virgin Atlantic is preparing for a significant increase in data as it embraces the internet of things, with a new fleet of highly connected planes each expected to create over half a terabyte of data per flight.

The City Is Here For You To Use: 100 easy pieces « Adam Greenfield’s Speedbird
https://speedbird.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/the-city-is-here-for-you-to-use-100-easy-pieces

We find ourselves at a moment in history in which the nature of #cities, as form and experience both, is under pressure from a particular class of emerging #technology. The advent of lightweight, scalable, networked information-processing technologies means that urban environments around the world are now provisioned with the ability to gather, process, transmit, display and take physical action on data.

Robert Kurz - 2009 Interview with IHU Online | libcom.org
http://libcom.org/library/2009-interview-ihu-online-robert-kurz

(avec eux « on a toujours déjà su, ce qui est assez stérilisant au final » via @prac_6) #critique_de_la_valeur #marxisme

Globalization cannot be reduced to information #technology. Under capitalist conditions it can only be part of the globalization of #capital, under whose command one also finds information. It is to be expected that, in the wake of inflationary State policies, the course of the crisis will lead to a “deglobalization” as an effort is made to withdraw towards the protectionist egoism of national economies, which are still only formal; and all of this will be accompanied by neo-nationalist ideologies. But this cannot overcome the crisis, it will even make it worse. One could also ask whether the #internet is sustainable—not because of a possible technological collapse (although in this respect as well there are signs of capacity having reached its limits), but because it depends on a formidable infrastructure, whose “financing” is just as dubious as everything else. A merely virtual globalization is not sustainable if it is not linked to the transnational reproduction of material beyond capitalism. The blabbermouths of the blogosphere and the intolerant freaks of the internet may yet be in for a rude surprise .

Nobel Peace Prize Winner: New Media Empowers #Women
http://mashable.com/2011/10/18/pray-devil-back-hell-pbs

In the western world, we often take for granted the ubiquitous nature of connectivity and technology. In Liberia, activists like Gbowee had to get the word out to other women via radio and word of mouth.

The biggest limitation right now for women in areas like Africa and other parts of the developing world is the lack of access to #technology. Beyond just not having the technical resources, women in these countries also don’t have education or experience using these devices.

Gbowee said that those of us in the western world — and she made a point to say that this has to go beyond the U.S. — need to look at investing in places without technology. The first step is assessing the needs, the existing setups and the goals in each area.

Gender wage gap smaller in science and technology | Nature News Blog
http://blogs.nature.com/news/2011/08/gender_wage_gap_lower_in_scien.html

#Women in #science, #technology, engineering, and math (STEM) jobs earn less than men — but the gender gap is not as wide as it is in other fields, according to a report released on 3 August by the US Department of Commerce.
The report, titled “Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation”, compared the average hourly earnings of full-time, year-round male and female workers in the private sector. In non-STEM occupations, men made 21% more than women. In STEM jobs, however, that difference was a bit smaller, with men making 14% more than women on average.

OK 14% quand même… #femmes #inégalités #salaires

#Skype security weaknesses could endanger ’vulnerable users’ | #Technology | guardian.co.uk
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/16/skype-security-weaknesses-vulnerable

Among areas that Privacy International has identified as weaknesses are:

• the use in the Skype interface of names rather than unique IDs, meaning that people can be impersonated in the user list;

• Skype downloads are not made through a secure connection (to, say, https://skype.com), which means that other sites can masquerade as the main site and offer compromised versions of the software - something that has happened in the past in China;

• the audio compression system used in Skype allows phrases to be identified with an accuracy of between 50% and 90%, even with encryption applied.
