Cómo me divorcié de Google - Tom Henderson (desde un blog google)


How I divorced Google

Leave Google, and save your privacy in 7 days (or at least get a start on it)

By Tom Henderson, ITworld |  IT Management/StrategyGoogleI'll try it 6 comments

I sat recently at the Grand Opening Ceremony at CeBIT 2012 in Hannover. There was a huge crowd of dignitaries, business people, and captains of German industry. They were waiting to hear from the President of Brazil, the Chancellor of Germany, and the Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt. Each gave a keynote. As the event's them was Managing Trust, it seemed salient for me to listen specifically to Schmidt, perhaps one last time. It's not that I don't respect the German Chancellor or the President of Brazil, but I wasn't trying to divorce myself from the organizations they represent.

How Anonymous Picks Targets, Launches Attacks, and Takes Powerful Organizations Down


No one but Hector Xavier Monsegur can know why or when he became Sabu, joining the strange and chaotic Internet collective known as Anonymous. But we know the moment he gave Sabu up. On June 7, 2011, federal agents came to his apartment on New York’s Lower East Side and threatened the 28-year-old with an array of charges that could add up to 124 years in prison. So Hector Monsegur, who as Sabu had become a mentor and icon to fellow members of Anonymous, surrendered his online identity to a new, equally faceless and secretive master: the FBI.

Más cerca de entender el Universo - Bosón de Higgs



Científicos del Centro Europeo de Investigación Nuclear (CERN, por sus siglas en francés) anunciaron el descubrimiento de una nueva partícula subatómica que podría ser el elusivo Bosón de Higgs.
Este bosón es lo que, según la física teórica, explicaría por qué el resto de las partículas tienen masa.
Según los expertos, se trata de uno de los "ladrillos" del Universo que ha sido buscado durante más de cuatro décadas.
Con todo, el CERN advirtió que hacen falta más observaciones para confirmar el hallazgo.
