Does Facebook Invade Your Privacy?

I recently read that Facebook keeps all of your records even after your deleter your account! So in case you decide to come back everything is there! Is this really invading our privacy? They do have legal permission since you accepted the legal terms and conditions of use! So why are people complaining so much? Yes its dangerous to have your information out in the web, but why did you do it on the first place! People need to be smarter.

Besides if you really want your information deleted you can do it manually which sucks but works...so instead of taking the time to write millions of email and complains you shoud spend 20min erasing your information of your profile.

This type of complain I dont agree with. I really dont think its doing anything wrong. Besides the information is being used for advertisers, so they can better serve you! On the other hand, why cant facebook have an option to either be erased completely or not. How about that? Well who knows, maybe its their way to keep you addicted! If you wanted to use it for a thing you could just re-activate the account and your back on it like you left it...are u addicted?? that may be the real problem!

"cybertwin" really evil!

I understand that society wants to maximize every thing they can have a hold off but has far can it really go??? Can this new software, MyCyberTwin really replace us?
Is that what we want? Do we want computers talking for us? is society that lazy!?! Why do we need everything to be computarized? I understand if its for business purposes and efficiency (don't agree with layoffs) but it shouldn't be taken beyond that..

this can really turn society evil!
"Create your artificial intelligence" is this want we really want for the future??

Finally Something To Watch On TV!

This is the best channel there is on TV. Current TV is like watching YouTube!
You have pod after pod (pod=short segments up to 12min) of the most random things! You just sit and watch for hours and never get bored because there are no boring TV commercials! and if you dont like the topic just wait a a few minutes and it will soon be over!

Last night I was watching Current TV and got to see a pod about poor kids in Colombia and how they have been affected by violence...its really sad, but true...then there was a segment about a girl who had her two legs amputated and after a few years she was skiing like any regular person! and short after a 2 minute segment of some hilarious boy trying to rap!

I highly recommend this channel! I got it in comcast..channel 107

Google and the "Open Innovation" revolution

looking at how blogging and networking have becomed so popular it is difficult to believe companies can can afford to reject these methods of communication. In the business enviroment these are called "open innovation" and multiple companies have began to open themselves to the world and established services for customers to express their needs so that the company can better serve them.
IBM is a company which has really taken advantage of open innovation and is profiting from it! Companies need to understand that in order to continue to succeed they must open up and join networks to better meet the needs of customers. I think that any company who rejects open innovation is taking a huge risk and could soon start feeling the effects of not joining.
Google has also taken advantage of this force and I think that all of its success is definetly due to the openess to the public! In fact I consider Google to be the starter of this revolution!
So heads up big companies! either you join the revolution or you could soon start suffering!
