"Digitaaliset palvelutuotteet perustuvat yhä useammin avoimista ja suljetuista lähteistä yhdisteltyyn ja jalostettuun informaatioon..." "Kaksipuolisilla markkinoilla palvelu tarjotaan tyypillisesti ilmaiseksi toiselle puolelle markkinoita, eli vaalidata-esimerkissä kuluttajille ja ReittiGPS:ssä liikenneyhtiöille, ja toinen puoli maksaa (tavalla tai toiselle) alustan tarjoajalle."
There are so many hackers involved, even at this early stage, because FLOK (which stands for “Free/Libre Open Knowledge”) proposes a fundamental disruption of society. FLOK’s reason-to-be is to create a legal, economic and social framework for an entire country (Ecuador) that is consistent with principles that are the basic foundations of the Internet: peer-to-peer collaboration and shared knowledge FLOK Society is, at its core, a research project occurring within a university: Ecuador’s post-graduate-focused state school the IAEN.

From cars to medical devices to guns, this was the year hackers found and exploited computers in everything.
" “There’s a message here for TrackingPoint and other companies,” Sandvik told WIRED at the time. “When you put technology on items that haven’t had it before, you run into security challenges you haven’t thought about before.” That rule certainly applies to any consumer-focused company thinking of connecting their product to the Internet of Things. But for those whose product can kill—whether a gun, a medical implant, or a car—let’s hope the lesson is taken more seriously in 2016."
The "International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems" (IJCCBS) is a quarterly research journal by Inderscience Publishers. It focuses on engineering and verification of complex computer-based systems (where complex means large, distributed and heterogeneous) in critical applications, with special emphasis on model-based approaches and industrial case-studies. Critical computer-based systems include real-time control, fly/brake-by-wire, on-line transactional and web servers, biomedical apparels, networked devices for telecommunications, environmental monitoring, infrastructure protection, etc.
While Android may have the legal licensing to qualify as open source, it utterly fails on the equally important issues of transparency and community. Android basically gives you two options: Accept what Google gives you, or fork the entire codebase. Other

HTML 5 is part of the future of the Web. Its new elements enable clearer, simpler markup that makes pages more obvious. Div and span still have their places, but those places are much more restricted than they used to be. Many pages will no longer need to use them.
Today (24 March 2010) two computer security researchers, Christopher Soghoian and Sid Stamm, released a draft of a forthcoming research paper in which they present evidence that certificate authorities (CAs) may be cooperating with government agencies to
in a Swedish book about libraries I found this reference to Vinton Cerf's lecture "The Future of Information and Communication Technology" However, the lecture is presented in a commercial format, which is not accessible with the web browser I use. I wish the new library of Alexandria would offer this lecture, and all web content, also in formats which are compatible and readable with open standards and free software.
