NCAA Tourney - Exclusive Campaigns - Ad:tech San Francisco

Author Christopher May    Category , , , ,

First, how did Kansas lose to Norther Iowa? Am I the only one shocked enough to the think the Kansas player's were asleep at the wheel last night? Apparently it's common this year because a bunch of teams -- that were supposed to progress deep into the tournament came out flat! Having played for a team that went undefeated and picked to win it all -- only to succumb to the Cinderella story -- I know what the kids of Kansas are feeling, and what's to come in the future. Forever haunted by the would-a/could-a/ should-a's. One of the problems I've noticed in collegiate competition is the pressure to live up to the high standards their respective programs place upon some the most immature kids on the planet (just an observation).

As many of you know success is earned -- the same can be said about achieving your dreams and obtaining your lifelong goals -- you have to earn it -- day/in/out. Find your way in this world my late uncle would say. However, today's climate we're (kids too) faced with many more distractions and challenges (social media sites, access to 24/7 services, etc). It safe to say the obstacles are stacked against us. More-and-more is needed to overcome such trials, but if you work hard -- believe me hard work does not go unnoticed. Like the kids from Norther Iowa, Butler, and St. Mary's -- hard work has lead to their real life Cinderella story.

Privacy issues nix Netflix movie-picking contest

Author Christopher May    Category

By Michael Liedtke, Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — DVD-by-mail service Netflix has canceled a sequel to a $1 million movie-recommendation contest, avoiding a potential courtroom drama over the privacy rights of its subscribers.

The retreat announced Friday settles a lawsuit alleging Netflix's plans to release millions of movie-rental records that could have illegally exposed sensitive information about its subscribers' tastes and lifestyles.

The Federal Trade Commission also had raised questions about the company's ability to protect customers' privacy, Netflix disclosed Friday.

FTC spokeswoman Claudia Bourne Farrell declined to comment.

Netflix intended to release the movie records without any names or other personal information attached to the data, but critics contended that the protections wouldn't be enough to guarantee anonymity.

Those arguments were supported by two University of Texas researchers who said they were able to sift through data that Netflix released in its first movie-picking contest to identify certain people who rated movies.

The class-action lawsuit filed in a San Jose federal court had also alleged Netflix's first contest, which ran from October 2006 through August 2009, had violated a federal law prohibiting video rental firms from publicly sharing their customers' movie preferences.

Netflix released the data about its subscribers' movie ratings in an effort to improve its DVD-recommendation system by at least 10%. The offer of a $1 million prize attracted more than 51,000 contestants and generated a steady stream of free publicity for the company, based in Los Gatos.

A seven-member group of researchers, scientists and engineers prevailed in the competition and picked up their award at a September news conference where Netflix promised another contest that would help it do an even better job of recommending DVDs to its 12.3 million subscribers.

Netflix canceled the contest without every quantifying what the follow-up prize would be.

The company still hopes to work with researchers on ways to do a better job of identifying movies that people would enjoy watching, Neil Hunt, Netflix's chief product officer, wrote in a Friday blog posting.

There's nothing in the lawsuit settlement preventing Netflix from turning to outsiders for help in developing better technology as long as there are adequate safeguards on privacy, said Scott Kamber, a New York attorney who filed the class-action complaint.

How to protect your Facebook wall

Author Christopher May    Category , , , , , , ,

Defensio supplies a free tool you can use to stop hackers from posting viral web links on your Facebook wall.

You'll still have to be cautious about clicking on infectious links arriving in Facebook messages from friends or in Twitter microblogs. Such tainted links, which instantly pull your computer into a botnet, may not be coming from your trusted acquaintance, as we described in this story.

But by signing up for a Defensio account here, you can at least protect against bad guys littering your Facebook wall with infectious links. Defensio will also protect your personal blog specifically by blocking viral links from comments to your postings, another way bad guys can take control of your PC, as they did last fall exploiting the hype surrounding the release of Twilight, the vampire movie.

"Unfortunately, with the increased adoption of social networks by both individual users and corporations, the threat potentially has also escalated," said Carl Mercier, Director, Software Development, Websense. "With the Defensio application for Facebook, businesses and individual users can now protect their Facebook walls from malicious links, inappropriate content and comment spam."
