Svenske socialdemokrater vil have en integritetsombudsmand

Henrik Fohns — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:13:45 +0000

Integritetsombudsmanden skal beskytte svenskerne, når de efterlader sig elektroniske spor overalt. Det gælder både overvågning og frivillig udlevering af personlige oplysninger fx i sociale netværk på nettet. Forslaget kommer i kølvandet på den meget omdiskuterede overvågning, som Forsvarets Radioanstalt har fået lov til at udføre fra 1. januar 2009.

For at få loven flertal for loven i Riksdagen, har den svenske regering stillet et ændringsforslag, som skal lukke munden på kritikerne. Der skal oprettes en specialdomstol, som skal godkende alle henvendelser om overvågning af data- og telefontrafik. Det er kun regeringen, ministerierne og forsvaret, der kan søge om lov til at overvåge “ydre militære trusler”.

Great times ahead!

It’s all waves. I remember the start of the 80s, when I was young and ready to start my working career. It wasn’t fun, because there were no jobs. But the 80s were in fact great times, because you had the freedom to experiment. Exactly the same way social media could experiment and grow bottom up after the dotcom-crash. No worries - hard times are good times to start doing something new and innovating. It’s all waves - but stay clear of drowning.

Korkproppen

Morten Lund gjorde det sgu’ godt i Jersild - se selv

Han vinder på at spille moralsk overlegen. Om han vinder over kreditorerne, er en anden snak. Men jeg tror på, at han er en korkprop. Han kommer op til overfladen igen.

Morten Lund is an unsual person. He works in unsual ways. And he communicates in unsual ways.

And the he his a cork stopper. He might look like the drowning man, but he will be back on the surface again before you know it…

The Fulgurator is really cool

How to make your camera really shoot - in a peaceful way.

The Fulgurator by Julius von Bismarck is a really cool inverted camera that “shoots” pictures onto objects and persons like Obama and Mao.

Check out the work of Julius von Bismarck:

Russian hacker attack on Google?

Is this why Gmail is down? Russian hacker attack because Georgians are using Google’s blogspot to avoid a cyber attack from Russia?

Myten om Play og Microsofts DRM

Henrik Fohns — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:26:28 +0000

Berlingske Business skriver i dag om TDCs web-tv tilbud You See, der kun kan ses af brugere med Windows og Microsoft Explorer. Artiklen gentager myten om, at DRM på Play ikke kan brydes. Jeg har tidligere i Harddisken omtalt, hvor forholdsvist nemt det kan lade sig gøre. Og Berlingske Business har også tidligere bragt historien. Det er naturligvis ulovligt at bryde kopisikringen, men hvorfor TDC skal bruge en ineffektiv teknologi og dermed ikke give adgang til Firefox-, Mac- og Linuxbrugere - som du kan læse i linket herunder - det undrer mig. Hvorfor ikke vælge et andet og mere “åbent” format, så alle TDC-kunder - inklusive undertegnede Mac- og Firefoxbruger - kan have gavn af TDCs tilbud? Det nuværende valg af DRM er alligevel et meget lille figenblad til glæde for musikbranchen.

iPhone er for dyr i DK

Henrik Fohns — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:28:10 +0000

Jeg vil så gerne have en iPhone, men jeg synes helt ærligt, at Telias bud på en prisstruktur er helt i skoven. Det er simpelthen for dyrt. Når man kan få et 3 modem med over 7 mbit downloadhastighed og fri trafik til 300 kr. pr. måned, hvorfor skal man så betale 600 kr. for 300 MB hos Telia, som ovenikøbet har en meget dårligere 3G dækning end 3? Det kan godt være, at en iPhone er fed - men hvis pengepungen skal flåes for at bruge den…..

New Documentary on Hunter S. Thompson

Henrik Fohns — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 06:40:48 +0000

Though one should not try to copy what he did - at least not in life but maybe in writing - I bet it will be highly entertaining to watch this documentary on one the greatest writers of the 20th century.

Notes on the Security Guru talking

Henrik Fohns — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:35:49 +0000

Bruce Schneier on the panel about privacy and security in the network age.

All we do today creates data. The creation and the storage of data is getting cheaper and cheaper. This means that we save data that we would normally throw away. Now they are saved, because they are cheap to save.

The result is what Schneier calls “wholesale suveillance”. It’s no longer “follow that car” - it’s “follow every car!”

Moore’s law is really good for intrusive tools. They become smaller and cheaper and ubiquitous.

The surveillance and the collected data go into the background and you will get used to be recognized - everywhere.

In 10 - 15 years we won’t need an id-card, because “we” know, who you are. And even if you have a life recorder documenting your every move all through your life on audio and video - it only takes 900 gb.

Every conversation will be saved and be public available.

“The whole world becomes like an airport security area. But I don’t not wanna know, who the guy next to me on the plane is. I just don’t want him to blow up the plane. And if he does blow up the plane - I still don’t care who he is….”

Often you get the question: “How much privacy will you give up for security?” That’s rubbish! It is not security versus privacy - it’s liberty versus control. That’s the fight.
