Facebook has come along way from being Mark Zuckerberg’s afterschool project. In fact “The Facebook Effect” author David Kirkpatrick implied at TechCrunch Disrupt that Facebook was so influential it should be governed by the United Nations, “They are too important to our culture to be left to a private corporation” he said.

But, despite the fact that at 500 million users Facebook has just under twice the population of the United States, it is a business not a country. And while Google is currently the most visited site on the Internet with about 170 million or so uniques in July according to Comscore, the levels of interaction that we have with Facebook are more often and more intimate, which makes it the most important site on the Internet today.

The amount of time we spend on Facebook underscores the fact that we no longer live in geopolitical countries but digital ones. And we often as citizens of digital domains forget that the end game of these platforms is “make money” which means that companies like Facebook must take steps to preserve business models based on lead generation and the monetization of user data, and that those steps are often against users’ best interests, literally.

The conversion of profile interests into pages was one of these steps, and there are and will be countless other infringments as long as Facebook has a monopoly on social networking activities, especially in conjunction with the recently launched Facebook Places. Inevitably a business needs to survive, but should we as users set limits to what can be sacrificed for this survival? What controls do we have over any advancements towards data openness, especially those which we don’t necessarily have the technical background to understand? Do we have a right to a Facebook Bill Of Rights?

While Facebook has a somewhat neglected governance page, its own abandoned Bill Of Rights and even something called “Principles,” users still do not yet have an inalienable say in the company’s machinations. So, pulling from many of the complaint emails sent to TechCrunch as well as heeding to the recommendations put forth by organizations such as the EFF and the ACLU as well as countless blogger entreaties, we’ve come up with the following hypothetical list of “rights,” our ultimate goal being the empowerment and education of users.

10) No Privacy “Bait And Switch” Facebook said for years that all information that users made private would always be private. Then it made names, photos, friend lists and other information  unavoidably public. So “No bait and switch” is essentially “Don’t change privacy settings to be more open without prior user consent.”

9) Opt In, Not Opt Out “Opt In” needs to be the default for everything privacy related. Any Facebook default should never move users toward less privacy. The ‘wizard’ Facebook walked FB users through in December, where the default got swapped to ‘everyone’ is perhaps the most egregious example of lack of transparency. From now on no more December 2009, i.e. all moves that force data sharing need to reveal exactly what the company intends to do with that data and the default answer better be “not very much.”

8) Freedom Of Data Export Users should have the freedom to share their data with anyone they want and take it with them anywhere they want, including removing it from the Facebook Service. While Facebook has alluded to eventually enabling this functionality in the past, there is currently no way to export Facebook data, which means whatever happens on Facebook stays on Facebook to the ultimate detriment of users.

7) The Right To Permanently Delete Accounts At the moment the actualities of being able to do this are lost in the vagaries of activating and/or deactivating your account, which still gives Facebook the rights to your personal data and license to your IP. Facebook needs to provide a direct link to this and then make sure that when your profile is gone it’s actually gone, and not stuck in server limbo somewhere.

6) The Right To Data Security Facebook needs more transparency regarding how code is deployed, and needs to make the process more secure. We get the occasional emails about how Facebook has sent messages to the wrong people, exposing user email addresses and various sundry data holes. While all code has its flaws, Facebook needs to keep in good faith that its first priority is protecting user data from malware such as phishing schemes, for example.

5) The Right To Redress Regarding Suspending Accounts We also receive many tips from people who have had their accounts suspended and have no way to reach an actual person vs. an autoreply at Facebook. Seeing as though your Facebook account is now your online calling card, there needs to be a way to argue your case to an actual human being.

4) The Right To Clear Outlines of Privacy Changes Google recently simplified their privacy policy in the wake of an $8.5 million privacy settlement over Buzz. So while it might inhibit innovation to create one thing and never change it without somehow breaking your word, perhaps Facebook can continue to offer up a streamlined one sheet record of everything it’s changed privacy wise, and keep it current with all new product related updates and caveats.

3) The Right To Information On Third Party Sharing Facebook needs to explicitly lay out what it does with your user data and how it target ads exactly. The importance of this has increased in the wake of Facebook Places’ introduction, especially since the proposed business plan for many of the geolocational platforms including Facebook is selling user checkin data.

2) The Right To Opt Out Of Facebook Marketing This could be achieved with premium accounts, as Pandora does now, giving people a clear way to opt out of any kind of ad targeting or marketing. The ads would still be there, but they wouldn’t directly pull from your likes, giving you a greater sense of “privacy.”

1) The Right To Protections From Snooping Facebook Employees A guarantee of security around who has access to user data and how often it has been abused. While “scary” media reports that Facebook has a “master password” abound and pranks like “Fax this photo” are cute, they lead us to believe that Facebook employees do not quite yet grasp the fact that with great power comes great responsibility.

Facebook is a private company that people opt in to use. In this sense, the situation is not analogous to a government document like the Bill of Rights, as that document is meant to define national law i.e. “I didn’t choose to be an American citizen, so I sure as hell want laws guaranteeing my rights as a citizen.” But Facebook has a de-facto monopoly on social networking and so it is nation-like, hence the above call to action.
Which in turn raises David Kirkpatrick’s larger question on whether or not Facebook needs more governmental regulation. Well, if you’ve got the ACLU and the EFF chasing after you every time you announce a product development, then it might be time to listen and voluntarily enable at least some of these proposed measures before regulation catches up, because it will, sooner or later.

What happens when Apple introduces a square-shaped new iPod and adorns it with an analog watch face for a lock screen? A whole new cottage industry sprouts up, whereby entrepreneurial types dust off old and mostly worthless watch straps, cut out an iPod nano-shaped compartment in them, and charge you $19.99 for the privilege of turning your tiny PMP into a somewhat bulky wristwatch. The saddest part about this is that we've got a feeling they might be on to a winner here.

The good: Very small and lightweight; eye-catching design.

The bad: Mediocre battery life; expensive; difficult to navigate.

The bottom line: Sony's too-expensive, designer, ultramobile PC seems out of touch with today's more-affordable and usable smartphone, tablet, and Netbook offerings, with a package that doesn't best any of the competition.

Review:

When we reviewed the first Vaio P in early 2009, we couldn't help but marvel at its minuscule size.
In 2010, however, the landscape is very different. In many ways we're at a juncture in mobile computing: smartphones continue to evolve larger screens and more-powerful software and processors; tablets are starting to emerge everywhere; and both of these devices call into question the point of the "ultramobile" PC. With all that in mind, we approach Sony's tiny new Vaio P--and its starting price of $899--with a skeptical eye.

When we reviewed the first Vaio P in early 2009, we couldn't help but marvel at its minuscule size.
In 2010, however, the landscape is very different. In many ways we're at a juncture in mobile computing: smartphones continue to evolve larger screens and more-powerful software and processors; tablets are starting to emerge everywhere; and both of these devices call into question the point of the "ultramobile" PC. With all that in mind, we approach Sony's tiny new Vaio P--and its starting price of $899--with a skeptical eye.
The Vaio P has a very high-res screen and a decent keyboard for its size, but the oddly extrawide-screen layout, combined with the low-powered Atom Z550 processor and the positively frustrating trackpoint and side-mounted optical touch-pad controls (no, the Vaio P does not have a touch screen), leave this product lost in some parallel universe in which Android and iOS devices don't exist.
At $899 (and a whopping $1,499 for our configuration with a 256GB SSD drive), you could buy an iPad and an Android phone, or nearly three Netbooks, or a very nice high-end laptop and still have some spare change to apply toward an iPod Touch. The equation simply won't work for most, except for maybe technology collectors and fetishists.
The chief purposes of the Vaio P boil down to two features: the computer's full keyboard, and its capability to run a full Windows 7 environment. If it matters very much to you to have these two features in such a small form, the Vaio P could be a neat and very pricey toy. For others, an iPad or a far cheaper Netbook would be a better bet.

Price as reviewed/starting price	$1,499/$899

The new Vaio P is certainly well built. A crisp, matte cover in a variety of colors curves underneath and continues to the keyboard deck, showing off a neat paperclip-shaped color swirl when the lid is closed. Ours was hot pink, and it was pink inside, outside, and on the underside, like a bright beacon in a coffee shop. The other colors--green, orange, black, or white--would likely be less of an eyesore.
To its credit, the P is solid to the touch. It folds into a compact clutch/book shape that lies flat. Inside, the elongated shape suits the keyboard better than it does the screen. Simply put, the Vaio P's dimensions mimic those of the compact keyboard. It's no surprise that the shrunken raised keys actually feel decent to type on, although they're mushier than on normal-size Vaios.
The real problem lies below the keyboard: the first Vaio P lacked a touch pad, opting to use a tiny trackpoint instead. The tiny rubber nubbin is present in this new version, too, and is extremely hard to use without losing your patience, especially when looking at the Vaio P's microminiature screen resolution. Sony obviously agrees, because the new Vaio P also adds a tiny optical touch pad in the most awkward of places: to the right of the screen itself.
The idea behind this placement was to offer browsing capabilities when standing, as if holding a laptop-shaped device in a nonseated position was a perfectly natural concept. Admittedly, the optical pad works much better than the trackpoint (it also allows tap-to-click, and discrete buttons are located on the left of the screen), but thumb-navigating when standing is far less sensible than whipping out a smartphone. In today's age of mobile Web browsing, no one would use the Vaio P standing up. And seated, the optical pad is largely useless.
A few extra discrete-function buttons on the bottom edge launch the Web browser, Vaio assist, and a media menu, much like on some full-size Vaios we've seen. Volume buttons--a far more useful concept in a mobile device--are relegated to function key combo presses.
The Vaio P's 8-inch screen is ultrawide and surprisingly high-res: 1,600x768 native pixel resolution, which trumps the average for this screen size significantly. We applaud the effort, but on a small screen Windows 7 becomes myopia-inducing at this resolution. Thankfully, one of the dedicated buttons on the bottom flips over to a much more readable 1,280x600-pixel screen resolution. The screen's colors and brightness are decent even under bright light, but super wide-screen aspect ratios turn most Web browsers and other programs into thin strips, hedged in by toolbars. The only good use we could see would be for movies.
Speaking of which, the Vaio P can play video files about as well as any Atom Netbook, which isn't a surprise since this ultramobile PC packs an Atom Z550 processor. Streaming video is a mixed affair: small-window YouTube and Hulu videos play well, albeit in tiny postage-stamp squares, but full-screen streams get choppy. The experience is a hair better than the average Netbook, but it doesn't deliver consistently smooth video. The built-in speakers function, but are hardly usable in noisy environments.
The Vaio P does have a Webcam, placed on the side of the screen. It also has a few neat features and tricks up its sleeve: an accelerometer will auto-orient the screen from landscape to portrait, a useful trick for e-reading, though the open clamshell shape of the P doesn't lend itself wonderfully to such a function. GPS is also built in, as well as mobile broadband optional upgrades in higher-end configurations (ours had Verizon service).

	Sony Vaio P	Average for category [netbook]
Video	VGA (via sold-separately dongle)	VGA
Audio	Speaker, headphone jack	Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks
Data	2 USB 2.0, SD card reader, memory stick reader	3 USB 2.0, SD card reader
Expansion	None	None
Networking	Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optional WWAN	Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Optical drive	None	None

The two USB ports are welcome on a machine this small, but any external video has to be output via a separately sold cable that interfaces with the Vaio P's custom connector port. An HDMI port seems like it could have fit easily. Wireless connectivity options are more abundant. Bluetooth is a nice add, as is optional Verizon mobile broadband, although the price for a data plan could be prohibitive to many. Included GPS gives this device some navigational and location-aware capabilites, but the design of the Vaio P's shape makes it an awkward bedfellow with a car or when moving about in places most folks would rather use a smartphone.

Microsoft plans to hold a consumer press event in New York next month that will serve as, among other things, a formal kick-off for Windows Phone 7, CNET has confirmed.
The October 11 event isn't a pure Windows Phone launch, but rather a consumer-focused "open house" similar to a holiday event Microsoft held last year in New York, according to a source familiar with the company's plans. Further details on the October event were not immediately available.

Windows 7 phones from a number of makers are expected to take center stage at Microsoft's October 11 consumer open house in New York. LG has received Federal Communications Commission approval to start selling this Windows Phone device.

 

While Windows Phone 7 will be a major focus, the open house won't necessarily mark the availability of phones running the new operating system. Devices running Windows 7 are being prepped by a number of handset makers, including LG, Samsung, and HTC, and are expected to hit the market starting next month. Some devices have already gotten approval for sale from the Federal Communications Commission.
After years of development--and several reboots along the way--Microsoft finalized the code for Windows Phone 7 at the beginning of this month. The new operating system is a radical departure from past versions of the device, which were focused on business users. The new-look Windows Phone aims to compete for the hearts and wallets of consumers by centering on design and ease of use, as well as connections to Xbox Live and the Zune music service.
While it has won plaudits for its improved design, the Microsoft operating system will find itself lacking several key technical features, including full multitasking and the ability to copy and paste. The company is expected, however, to launch a major ad blitz for the new phones and has been working hard to make sure there will be plenty of third-party programs ready for the device's arrival.

The New Xbox 360: Fully Detailed

It's smaller, has more ports, runs quieter and costs the same: Php 15,000. It has a 250GB hard drive and built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi. They're shipping the new Xbox 360 to retailers today.

They're sending out one for free to everyone here, supposedly).
Update: Here are some detailed specs. One of the most interesting details is that this new system has been in development for, give-or-take, two years.
• Touch sensitive on/off and eject buttons (like the PS3)
• "Much quieter"
• 250GB internal hard drive, which is still swappable.
• A custom Kinect port (not a standard USB port—it's a USB port that can feed more power)
• There are five USB ports now, with three in the back and two in the front
• AV cable included, an HDMI and optical audio
• Different power supply—it's still big but nearly weightless
• External Xbox 360 hard drives and memory units are NOT compatible with the new Xbox
• Other accessories are
• Internal components that are changed: two small fans changed into one large fan for quieter operation, 45nm integrated CPU and GPU

As for the hard drive, it's easily removable and is quite small—much smaller than the current external lump hard drive. You can't use this with older Xbox 360s, and you can't use older Xbox 360s' hard drives with this.
There is a Kinect-specific connector in the back, in addition to the 3 standard USB2 ports already there. The Kinect connector is just a USB port with more power, so you don't need a separate power supply like you would if you used Kinect with an older Xbox 360.
Though this has an HDMI out, the box doesn't come with an HDMI cable. You can pick one up for Php 250 on Monoprice, of course, but it'd be nice for them to include one. Especially because Sony just decided to included one with their PS3s.
We did turn on the Xbox (touch with audio feedback when you press!), and it sounded very quiet. Almost silent in the somewhat noisy room, but this is just at bootup, with no DVD spinning and nothing really happening. It'll definitely get louder when you play it more, and the DVD will be noisy when that's spinning, but just compared to the bootup on the current Xboxes, it's very quiet.

We were a little skeptical of claims that the Joos Orange offered 6 to 20 times more sun-to-power conversion than its competitors. But Giz editor Brian Lam tried one recently and says it's the "best solar charger [he'd] ever tested."
He reports that it's rugged, works in weak light and can charge an iPhone four times with just one full charge. The unit itself is a bit heavy, but still, what's a little heft when you can finally realize that elusive dream of (effectively) charging gadgets with the sun, and for only $100.
Wired has a more detailed review, and they loved it, too:

The Joos Orange solar charger is the physical manifestation of simplicity. It's rugged, easy to store and carry, and (most importantly) quick to bestow a watt or two whenever you need it. Simply choose the correct adapter (the Orange comes with seven of the most popular ones), plug in your depleted phone or DS into the charger and let the life-giving juice flow. Yep, that's it.

Google's just announced Google Instant! They say it's going to transform search forever—making it faster, better, stronger. But what is it, exactly?

It's predictive search...

Should you activate Google Instant Search, you'll start seeing search results as soon as you start typing. You'll also be shown a range of possible queries in grey to refine your options, all before you ever hit the "Search" button.

...that saves you time...

Google estimates that Google Instant will save people an average of 2-5 seconds per search. The reason? We read faster than we type, and predictive search pretty much takes typing out of the equation. If every Google user around the world switched to Instant, we'd save 3.5 billion seconds a day, or 11 hours per second.

...(unless you're looking for porn)...

While the normal SafeSearch filters—like those used in Image searches—apply, Google Instant draws the line at "pornography, violence and hate speech." Which means that when you try to autocomplete a generic "porn" search, you're stuck with this:

...that's already here for some users...

There's a good chance you've already got Google Instant up and running, but if not, don't feel too left out; it's going to take a couple of days for the service to hit all Google users. And a bit longer than that to hit mobile—Google says that it's not available in the immediate future for phones, but that it should be coming in the next few months. Ditto for the search bar in your browser. In any case, if you don't like it you're not forced to use it; next to every search box will be a link that lets you turn Instant off or on as you please.

...and has at least one neat trick up its sleeve.

When Google Instant is activated, the right arrow key acts as the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Glad to see that a healthy sense of adventure has been maintained.

 

Kids. If they're not making a million bucks before they're 16, they're building web design companies or showing us adults up some other way. Like designing really cool Tokyo Flash watches at the age of 14.
It's one of the most basic creations submitted to Tokyo Flash's competition, and YOU can decide whether it gets made. There are 26 days left remaining to vote on its future—so if you like what you see, please do grant the Canadian Tynan Mayhew a thumb's up.

Believe it or not, Philippines actually has a law that prohibits people not only from shooting or making sex scandal files but also from publishing, broadcasting or distributing them -- among other violations.

It's called Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009.

Republic Act No. 9995, which started out as "Anti-Cyberboso Bill" drafted by Representative Irwin Tieng, was signed by the President and hence, enacted into law, on February 15, 2010. This RA aims to protect the dignity and privacy of all Filipinos and guarantees full respect for human rights.

Anti Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 prohibits and declares these acts unlawful for any person:

After being in development for almost three years, Cerulean Studios has started to slowly roll out the latest version of the all-new Trillian Astra. Currently available as an invite-only download, Trillian Astra is the logic evolution of good old Trillian, a popular multi-platform IM client released by the end of 2000. Trillian was not the first IM app to offer multi-network connectivity, but it stood out of the crowd thanks to an intuitive interface design that helped users manage their contacts from different networks in a much easier way. Trillian Astra keeps that same spirit of making things easy for the user. Right after installing it, you’re taken through an intuitive yet painfully lengthy step-by-step configuration process. You’ll be able to choose interface style, nickname, avatar and of course, select the networks you want to manage through Trillian. The program now supports Live Messenger, AOL Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Facebook, MySpaceIM, Skype, Jabber, IRC, Twitter, e-mail accounts (POP3 and IMAP) and Bonjour, besides the Astra proprietary network.

Trillian Astra boasts a nice interface design, though it can get quite bloated with contacts lists from a dozen different IM platforms. Fortunately you decide which networks to load on program startup, and temporarily hide certain lists as well. In a way, I see the new Trillian Astra not as a multi-platform instant messaging tool anymore, but more like a social timeline where you can chat with your friends – either by text, voice or video - and also see what they’re up to on Facebook or Twitter.

With so many supported networks, you can imagine Trillian Astra has a massive preferences menu. Some of the most interesting options include the possibility to create custom away messages, manage the contact list behavior, configure notifications and control file transfers, among others.

Like I said, Trillian Astra is now at a beta testing phase, but if you are too curious to wait until the final official release, fill in this form to subscribe as beta tester and you’ll probably get an invite soon. Mine took hardly a couple of minutes to arrive.
