Facebook Under Scanner – Timeline Privacy

— By

Facebook seems to have gotten itself into yet another controversy.

The Federal Trade Commission has been asked to investigate possible privacy violations in the new Facebook Timeline feature. The FTC was approached by the Electronic Privacy Information Centre, a public interest group. Yahoo News published an article quoting, “Facebook is changing the privacy settings of its users in a way that gives the company far greater ability to disclose their personal information than in the past.”

With Timeline, Facebook has once again taken control over the user’s data from the user, and now made information that was essentially archived and inaccessible widely available without the consent of the user.

When EPIC solicited the FTC to look into Facebook’s privacy settings, it produced a two year scuffle that ended last year with an illustrious settlement between the two parties involved.

“Entrepreneur in Residence” – Who are you kidding?

— By

I stumbled on this title quite a few times and I say it’s total crap, full of shit.

“Entrepreneur in Residence.”

Look around, quite a number of big companies have them. These ‘entrepreneurs’ flaunt their titles just as flashily as they could. Personally, I find it rather derogatory to the spirit of entrepreneurship.

Let’s look at the some of the basic definition of an Entrepreneur.

  • A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on financial risk to do so.
  • An entrepreneur is an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative.

Or the aptly defined definition by Inc.com -

Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.

So, if you’re an “Entrepreneur in Residence” at Adobe, Amazon, Apple, Ebay, Google, Infosys, Microsoft, TCS, Yahoo! or any other Mega Corporation, stop doing that. Be entrepreneurial about your title and find a suitable one. You’re mocking yourself and the entrepreneurial spirit of Entrepreneurs.

National Defense Authorization Act 2012 gives Americans a taste of their own Medicine

— By

The initial cloud of smoke has cleared on 2012′s National Defense Authorization Act and we are still no better informed about the extent of its newly formed ambiguous power than we were when it was passed two weeks ago.

The NDAA of 2012 broke with its traditionally monotonous roots when its scope spread far beyond the traditional yearly Department of Defense budgeting. In a seemingly dodgy move the government slipped in the now highly controversial Section 1021 and 1022—constitution-raping pieces of legislation akin the Patriot Act on steroids. The two sly sections allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens suspected of terror activities, without a trial. Think: Guantanamo Bay tactics for Americans, on US soil.

So, let me put this straight, if you need a startup, then all the basic stuff you need is MID or Money, Idea & Determination.

Many think that if the idea is good, people will discover it somehow and they can move faster with their business. Communication with the public is another important aspect. Though you have the best programmer in the globe, if communication to the outer world fails, the path to success is way too long. Pitching process is one of the most important steps.
