Today on Boing Boing tv, a conversation with Ethan Zuckerman, co-founder of Global Voices, about videoblogging culture in the North African nation of Tunisia. Despite intense restrictions on freedom of speech there, and extreme risks for critics of the political status quo, bloggers there are finding innovative uses for video online, as a method of cultural commentary and activism. Using tools like Tor and SipPhone to ensure anonymity, they have proven themselves to be several steps ahead of their US counterparts -- as evidenced by a story Zuckerman shares about an Apple ad remix.

Today on Boing Boing tv, a vlog from Mark about Socialbomb, a real-world tech game that explores social circles and ways to measure interpersonal reputation. The current version is designed to accommodate 30 players. Each player is awarded points for being near players with higher reputations, and penalized for being near players with lower reputations. Bonuses and penalties are applied according to overall social promiscuity and status. The player with the worst reputation score is the 'Socialbomb.' Their score will have the most negative impact on a social circle.

BBtv's invizibul Soviet bureau telexes report: Soviet Unterzögersdorf is last existing republic of USSR. The enclave maintains no diplomatic relationship with surrounding so-called "Republic of Austria" or with the Fortress "European Union." The downfall of her motherland -- the Soviet Union -- in the early 1990s had a particularly bad effect on the country’s economic situation. It is a great challenge to secure survival for the small but proud confederation. External reactionary forces put the country in danger. His Excellency Ambassador of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf, Nikita Chrusov, is entering the Marriott Hotel in San Diego, during O'Reilly ETech conference, to attend a corporate afterparty sponsored by Disney.com. After four weeks of sea travel on a cargo ship and two weeks of journey in a Greyhound bus, the Ambassador is eagerly awaiting a meeting. He wants to confront Disney executives with a couple of questions, especially talking to them about their "sugar-coated bullets", that threaten the very existence of his country by brutal cultural force. But then -- he is forcibly ejected from party, like cosmonaut from spaceship escape hatch. Commissar Chrusov calls this act "an unbelievable act of political shortsightness" and complains about mysterious green "poisoned pudding." Special thanks to Johnannes and monochrom, who had absolutely nothing to do with this, and to cameo guests Eddie Codel of Geek Entertainment TV; Scott Beale of Laughing Squid (who covered this incident here); and John Perry Barlow, EFF co-founder.

In 2005, Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician, brought to public attention documents which showed that the National Security Agency had obtained copies of Internet traffic flowing through an AT&T facility in San Francisco and through several other AT&T locations across the country. This led to public outcry over the US government's warrantless wiretapping program, and a lawsuit against AT&T by the Electronic Frontier Foundation . At the 2008 EFF Pioneer Awards ceremony during the O'Reilly ETech conference, the EFF honored Klein's whistleblowing efforts. In this interview at the awards ceremony, Klein and EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn speak with us about efforts to persuade lawmakers not to grant legal immunity to telecoms that may have broken the law while helping the government in anti-terrorism efforts. On March 6, 2008, another whistleblower came forward with similar claims. Computer security consultant Babak Pasdar said he'd discovered a mysterious "Quantico Circuit" while working for an unnamed major wireless carrier. He believes this circuit gives the U.S. government direct, high-speed access to customers' voice and data transmissions. For more information: EFF.org. Update: Wired's Threat Level blog posted about this BBtv episode just now, and reminds us... And just to toot our own horn, although Wired wasn't the first to write about the Klein documents, we did acquire them while they were under court seal (from a party not subject to the gag order) and publish them for geeks of the world to analyze.

"Why Can t a Computer Be More Like a Brain? How a New Theory of Neocortex Will Lead to Truly Intelligent Machines" - Jeff Hawkins. Coaxing computers to perform basic acts of perception and robotics, let alone high-level thought, has been difficult. No existing computer can recognize pictures, understand language, or swiftly navigate through a cluttered room. Following nature s example, Hawkins has developed an understanding of how the neocortex performs these and other tasks. The theory, called Hierarchical Temporal Memory or HTM, explains how the hierarchical structure of the neocortex builds a model of its world and uses this model for inference and prediction. To turn this theory into a useful technology, Hawkins and his colleagues have created a company called Numenta. In this talk, Hawkins will describe the theory, its biological basis, and introduce a new software platform created by Numenta that allows anyone to apply this theory to a variety of problems. A separate breakout session will go into detail on how to use Numenta s HTM platform. ]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:17:45 -0500 ETech 2007 - Jeff Hawkins 4150816 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/etech-2007-janeway-and-bloom/4150816/

"Amazon Web Services: Building a 'Web-Scale Computing' Architecture to Meet the Variable Demands of Today's Business" - Werner Vogels, Vice President s essential in today s business landscape. This applies to an enterprise trying to cut-costs, a young business unexpectantly saturated with customer demand, or a start-up looking to launch. Werner Vogels, vice-president and chief technology officer of Amazon.com, will discuss the challenges of building a reliable, flexible architecture that can manage unpredictable behaviors of today's internet business. Vogels will also provide the blueprint for "Web-Scale Computing" -- enabling businesses to outsource the undifferentiated "heavy lifting" and implement an elastic business model that can quickly respond to demand. This allows businesses to compete on ideas, instead of resources. Vogels will also introduce customers that are already implementing Web-Scale Computing business models, with multiple Amazon Web Services -- such as Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud -- to launch innovative applications. Amazon.com spent twelve years and over $2 billion developing a world-class technology and content platform that powers Amazon web sites for millions of customers every day. Today, Amazon Web Services exposes this technology, through 10 open APIs, allowing developers to build applications leveraging the same robust, scalable, and reliable technology that powers Amazon s business. ]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 20:01:40 -0500 ETech 2007 - Werner Vogels 4143410 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/etech-2007-ed-rowe/4143410/

"Incantations for Muggles: The Role of Ubiquitous Web 2.0 Technologies in Everyday Life" - danah boyd, Doctoral Candidate, School of Information, University of California-Berkeley. Over the last few years, the tech sector has been abuzz with talk of social media and Web 2.0 and journalists have been hyping the peculiar things that the MySpace generation is doing. While the "radical" practices of young people and the organizational fetishes of technologists are certainly a curiosity to be examined, the real shift is happening in the lives of everyday people without an ounce of reflexivity. Google has become the go-to person for questions about health symptoms. Yahoo! Local has replaced the Yellow Pages for providing insight about local restaurants. People have connected around all sorts of common ground to share everything from recipes to confessions of secrets that have been long held. Elderly citizens are jumping online to do their genealogy research and diaspora communities are conversing across geographical boundaries. With the vast majority of Americans online, the content of Web 1.0 has been ubiquitously integrated with the social technologies of Web 2.0 to provide a seamless experience for all sorts of people. Our society has become fundamentally networked. People are sharing content and creating culture along the way. So what does this mean? Are practices evolving or is it simply the underlying architecture that is shifting? Why have common adult practices been invisible as they go digital while teen practices continue to provoke moral panics as new technologies are incorporated into them? In this talk, Boyd will seek to step out of our techno-centric worldview and dive into the everyday practices that are affected by the rise of Web 2.0 technologies. By unpacking the magic, Boyd will try to shed new light on the implications of the systems that we develop and analyze the ways in which architectural shifts are affecting the way we live. ]]> Tue, 06 Nov 2007 19:52:44 -0500 ETech 2007 - danah boyd 4087787 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/etech-2007-dale-dougherty/4087787/
