Un fait troublant demeure à propos de la cueillette d'informations des réseaux sans-fil à même les voitures de Street View : Ces capteurs avaient pour but de recenser les réseaux wifi non protégés par un mot de passe afin d'éventuellement les faire figurer sur les cartes de Google sous la forme d'endroits où se connecter gratuitement à la Toile «avec un PC ou un mobile».

Le doute sera dorénavant toujours présent par rapport aux cueillettes d'informations de ce BigBrother avec son GoogleCar...

L'histoire ne dit cependant pas ce que Google a fait avec l'identification des réseaux protégés.

Un inconnu se promène dans la rue avec un kit d'écoute wifi ou sans fil et il sera presque puni. Une compagnie se promène avec une voiture équipée à la James Bond et tout le monde sourit !

Ces mécanismes avaient été mis en place afin de pouvoir retracer certains auteurs d'actes illicites via le Net et également pour permettre la saisie d'informations relatives au groupe terroriste. Ces informations n'étaient accessibles que sur mandat judiciaire demandé par les autorités envers les fournisseurs de services

En d'autres mots c'est comme si on décidait maintenant d'empêcher les enregistrements des bandes vidéos des caméras de surveillance !! D'autres pays tels la Bulgarie, l'Irlande et la Roumanie sont sur le point d'entendre des causes similaires ou de procéder avec un jugement.

Conde Nast Magazines Plan 'Experimental' iPad Apps; Wait For Adobe And Apple To Make Friends

Media executives continue to leak details about developing Apple iPad apps, hoping readers will pay for digitized versions of their publications.

The New York Times has some details on Conde Nast's plans, with a schedule of release dates:

* April: GQ
* June: Vanity Fair, Wired
* Summer: The New Yorker, Glamour

Executives say the apps will be in a test phase. They will play with prices and advertising displays "before wrapping up the experiment in the fall," according to the Times. Then they will decide if more magazines should be formatted for the iPad.

According to Peter Kafka at MediaMemo, the publisher won’t create iPad apps for other titles "unless Apple and Adobe figure out how to work together."

From Peter: "But in a conversation I had with Chuck Townsend last week, Conde’s CEO was more blunt: He can’t fully embrace the Wired version, which was created with Adobe’s (ADBE) help and uses Adobe’s Flash platform, unless Apple (AAPL) embraces Flash.

Conde will have “two parallel development tracks going until the relationship between Apple and Adobe is clear,” he told me Friday."

The apps will be sold through iTunes, which means Apple -- not Conde Nast -- will have control over that important marketing data about the readers who actually pay for the app.

But there's still no way to anticipate how many people will actually own iPad apps by next fall, and whether they will be willing to pay, say, $5 per issue of magazine formatted for the iPad.

Conde Nast has hopes based on their GQ iPhone app, will sells for at $2.99 an issue. Readers have paid for about 22,000 issues to date.

But those sales are still minuscule compared to the haul from their print sales. GQ's December "Men of the Year" iPhone app sold nearly 7,000 times. But the print version of the issue sold 240,000 copies at newsstands and another 667,851 to subscribers.

It hasn’t been in the limelight recently, but it is coming. According to CNBC contributor John Kilduff of Round Earth Capital, we will soon see the price of reach $100 per barrel.

On CNBC’s Jan. 11 “The Kudlow Report,” host Larry Kudlow asked Kilduff what it would take for the Obama’s administration to change its energy policy to allow for more oil exploration and drilling.

“Oil is hitting a 15-month high at $83 a barrel and it was $30 about a year ago,” Kudlow said. “So, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar rules drilling of oil and gas out of bounds for federal lands. No drilling. So, how high does it go before we go back to drill, drill, drill?”
