Cloud wars: How Google Drive’s privacy policy stack up against its rivals’ – Washington Post

  By susie | April 26, 2012 - 4:21 pm | Great Posts Leave a comment

The Google Drive cloud storage service launched yesterday to much fanfare, but as with any new Google product, there are important questions about how the company will actually use personal data uploaded to the system. Google sells ads against your data, after all, and the more data you give the company, the more opportunity it has to screw up. That means the Google Drive terms of service and privacy policy are critically important, and there’s been a lot of selective interpretation floating around the web in the past 24 hours — and a lot of comparisons to the privacy policies of competitive services like Dropbox and Microsoft’s SkyDrive.

That’s great — all web services should be subject to harsh scrutiny of their privacy policies — but a close and careful reading reveals that Google’s terms are pretty much the same as anyone else’s, and slightly better in some cases. Let’s take a look.

Google Drive

Google’s biggest problem with the Google Drive privacy policy is that there isn’t actually a specific Google Drive privacy policy — there’s just Google’s new unified terms of service and privacy policy. The move to combine and simplify the company’s various service-specific terms into comprehensive documents earlier this year met with a great deal of criticismand even international scrutiny, but Google seems determined to maintain just one set of documents for users. That means the company has to use fairly expansive language to cover all the bases, and it can be a little off-putting. Here’s the section from Google’s terms of servicethat’s causing all the controversy today, with my emphasis in bold:

Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.

When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google(and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works(such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones.

That’s a lot of rights to give Google, on the face of it — in fact, it’s basically every right you cangive to Google as a copyright holder. But think about how limited Google’s services would be if it didn’t have permission to use, host, store, modify, communicate, publish, or distribute your content — it couldn’t move files around on its servers, cache your data, or make image thumbnails, since those would be unauthorized copies. It couldn’t run Google Translate or Google Image Search. It would be illegal to play YouTube clips in public. In short, Google is giving itself all the permissions it could possibly need to run all of Google services, with the specific limitations that it doesn’t own anything you upload and it can’t use your data beyond running its services.

Romney Rebuts Obama on Silver Spoon Comment

  By susie | April 22, 2012 - 6:49 am | Great Posts Leave a comment

President Obama, terribly desperate to avoid any issues of substance during his re-election campaign, has pointed to Mitt Romney’s wealth as a way to score political points, but Romney has rejected the criticism and makes no apologies for his father’s rags to riches story.

President Obama has tried to make political hay recently by claiming that he “wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth,” an indirect reference to the fact that Mitt Romney, his challenger for the presidency in 2012, grew up with money. Romney, however, has rejected outright any accusation by Obama that there was anything at all wrong with the way he grew up. For those unaware, Romney’s father, George, was born in Mexico and moved to the U.S. to become a lath and plaster apprentice. To make ends meet, he would also sell paint out of his car.

Romney noted, “I’m not going to apologize for my dad and his success in his life. He was born poor and he worked his way to become very successful despite the fact that he didn’t have a college degree.” Romney’s father eventually became a successful businessman and even the governor of Michigan from 1969 to 1973. Upon his father’s death, Romney donated his rather sizable inheritance from his father to charity.

Still, it appears that at least some on forums and commenting on articles from the mainstream media are quite convinced that Romney is out of touch with the electorate and that Obama has his finger on the pulse of the nation. Given the amount of government spending and the lack of jobs under Obama’s administration, what becomes abundantly clear is that he is either actually unaware of the concerns of the man on the street, or he is powerless to change that man’s fortunes. A potential third option is that he simply doesn’t care.

Convergence: First our iPhone, now our furniture?

  By susie | April 15, 2012 - 4:42 pm | Great Posts Leave a comment

Convergence: First our phones, now our furniture?

A phone. An internet communicator. A widescreen iPod. That’s how Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone, and since then one little device has gone on to replace so many single-purpose, single-tasking gadgets I’m starting to lose count. The iPhone is basically my mobile office in the palm of my hand. Apple didn’t invent the concept of convergence, of course, but the smartphone category in general has really blazed the trail towards a multitasking future that few other things have followed.

Our cars still can’t submerge or fly, and our kitchens involve moving from station to station, machine to machine, like an old-fashioned assembly line — where are our replicators?

But it looks like furniture is slowly, almost stealthily creeping up on the future as well. Not as quickly as our iPhones and iPads mind you, and perhaps not as quickly as we’d like, but it’s getting there.

A desk. A bed. A closet. That’s what you’ll see in the video below, and some pretty amazing tables and chairs and futuristic furniture in general. Of course, these are all manual transformers, nothing fancy like a Hasbro cartoon or Michael Bay movie, but check them out and let us know — in another 5 to 10 years, is that the kind of stuff you envision yourself working, sleeping, and sitting on as you cyber-boot your iCommunicator or iHoloImplant? Maybe from orbit?

Interesting Origins of Our Favorite Desserts

  By susie | April 13, 2012 - 11:55 am | Great Posts Leave a comment
Oh, dessert. We wish for a world where dessert was healthy and salad made you fat. What other meal conjures such fantasies in the minds of young and old? It’s even an effective bribe, as in, “Finish all your green beans or no dessert.”

Everyone has their favorite dessert food, and each has it’s moment in the sun as the foodie trend of the moment. But have you ever wondered where these incredible gifts to mankind came from? You might be surprised…

Click on the images for better view.

CHEESECAKE

The Cheesecake Factory did not invent the cheesecake (they don’t even make it very well, to be honest. They are what the Olive Garden is to Italian food). No, cheesecake has been around for thousands of years – as in pre-Roman Greece. The original authority on this delectable vehicle of sugar and milk fat was a Greek physician named Aegimus. That’s right, a doctor practically invented cheesecake. That makes it healthy, right? Right?

Most American cheesecakes are technically New York style, made with cream cheese and a graham cracker crust. The lighter, airier French style is made with Neufchâtel cheese and whipped egg whites over a pate sucree crust, while the wetter, fruitier Italian style uses ricotta cheese and orange flower water with a light dusting of amaretti cookie crumbs in place of a crust.

COOKIES

Cookies have been around since people discovered what fire does to wheat, but they were usually more similar to flatbreads, meant as normal sustenance while traveling. Cookies as we know them today are a relatively recent development – traditionally, cookies were somewhat similar to fruitcake, just a ball of crushed nuts, honey and water.

The cookie we would recognize as such today came to the U.S. in the 1600s, when the convergence of English and Dutch settlers gave us macaroons and gingerbread men – but the more popular cookies like chocolate chip and oatmeal wouldn’t come about for another hundred years, when the practice of creaming together the fat and sweetener became widespread.

ICE CREAM

I scream, you scream… well, you know the saying. Frozen confections have been around since the Persian Empire, but they were more akin to ice pops than ice cream. True ice cream was introduced in the 1700s, and brought to America by Quaker settlers. At the time, ice cream making was a major labor-intensive process involving tightly-sealed pots and loads of ice – remember, there was no refrigeration yet, so ice cream was the province of the wealthy for the most part. Poor folks couldn’t afford to waste ice like that, and didn’t have time to churn the mixture as it froze over the course of several hours.

Oddly, ice cream sundaes weren’t invented until the late 1800s. Ice cream sodas were already popular, but Blue Laws prohibited their sale on Sundays. So people skipped the soda and went straight to the good stuff, circumventing the law and enjoying an even more decadent treat.

CUPCAKES

Cupcakes first appeared toward the end of the 18th century, but they weren’t as fun as they are now. Muffin tins did not yet exist, so cupcakes were baked in ramekins or other small pots. Usually smaller than what we know today, the original cupcake was served without a thick layer of frosting or decoration – more like a muffin in appearance.

The term “cupcake” itself caused a bit of confusion in the dessert’s early stages, because home cooks were just beginning to transition from weight measurements to volume measurements in the kitchen. A “cupcake” could refer to the mini cake we know today, or it may have referred to a full-sized cake made with “cup”, or volume measurements. In other words, a cupcake and a pound cake may have been exactly the same finished product but just used different units of measurements during preparation.

ICE POPS

Remember what we talked about in the ice cream section? Yes, ice-based desserts have been around for thousands of years, but they didn’t always come on a stick. Back in the day, aristocrats would have snow brought from a mountaintop to the kitchen, where the cook would flavor it with grape juice, fruit, wine, and sweet syrups. It would be served in a bowl, with a texture somewhere between a snow cone and a sorbet. This practice continued for many years, restricted to the homes of the wealthy – in the 1600s, England’s King Charles I promised his cook a never-ending pension if the recipe was kept secret, to prevent its falling into the hands of non-royals.

Frozen dessert equality was achieved around the turn of the 20th century, by an eleven-year-old (couldn’t you have guessed?). A boy named Frank Epperson left a stir stick in his soda water one night when the temperature dropped below freezing. The next morning, he discovered that even soda is more delicious when eaten frozen off of a stick. About twenty years later, he applied for a patent and made freezer aisle history.

Karrigan Rhougal: Night Watch

  By susie | April 11, 2012 - 7:19 am | Great Posts Leave a comment

Night, it’s the worst time of the day, and here I am stuck with a guard shift at night. Who would’ve known that the academy’s best swordsman would end up as a night shift guard in some out of the way village with a name I can’t remember. The teacher said something about “attitude problem” I don’t have an attitude problem; he just had a problem with me because I beat him while training one day. Attitude problem…

I worked myself nearly to death some days training to get as good as I am, and then they waste my talents here. Maybe it’s because I’m a common-blood freak? That’s what the blue-bloods called me anyways, pricks. Sometimes they just made my blood boil, even now; thinking of those jerks makes me want to hit something. No, I’m a soldier now, I have discipline, and there is no need for me to hit anything except some bandit raid.

I should be out there fighting in some battle against any enemy we might end up coming across, but it’s not like that’s going to happen. Dragia has been at peace with its neighbors far too long now, but even then we’re still famous for our superior military. How can we know if it’s superior if there’s no one to test it out on? Valaya used to be our enemy, but after the war twenty years ago they’ve still yet to recover, and Reneva have been allies of ours since the beginning of time for all I know.

It’s not like I can pick a fight with just anyone either; I’ll just get discharged then, and I don’t want that. Maybe if I provoke someone into fighting me? Then I can beat him up without getting into trouble. That’s not likely to happen; I’m too easily provoked to do any decent provoking myself. For all I know I’ll end up provoking myself into beating the poor bugger up.

Nothing fun happens at night. Here I stand, me, Karrigan Rhougal, the best swordsman in the history of Lilac City Academy, and I have a job watching some stupid peasants. No, they aren’t stupid. By the Saints, why would I think such a thing? I am a bloody peasant. These people are my kin in a way. They earned their position just like I earned my guard position: bad luck. Nothing fun happens at night.

I’ve been here for two months with two other guards. I think their names are Philip and Hans, or maybe it’s Perry and Jan. I don’t know. They get the day shift, and I get the stinking night. I can’t imagine they have much fun either, but at least they have someone to talk with. I just get my thoughts and steadily lose my sanity.

Maybe I should just leave? I don’t deserve this position. I can find myself something else to do. I could become a mercenary; they get some fun don’t they? I can’t stand wasting my life here. Maybe I’ll think on it after I get some sleep. By the Saints! I can’t stand thinking anymore! I need action, no more thinking! I’m leaving tonight and that’s final. The other two can figure out what to do about shifts. I’m going to be somebody, not some stupid guard in a remote village that nobody cares about.

With that I got up from the uncomfortable wooden stool that was lent to me by the only villager that took pity on my position. Thomas I think his name was, yeah that’s right. I’ll leave it at his front door before I get my stuff. As I finished, I looked at myself. Sword, check. Armor, check. Food and water, something I’ll pick up before leaving. Horse, at the stables. I’m fine enough, I just need to pick up food and drink and I’m good.

The trip through the village to where the guards were house was uneventful. I think I scared a cat up a house, that’s it, and I’m not surprised in the least because I am a big man and I know it. The house we’re living in is no different than any of the other houses; simply put we’re peasants in a soldier’s outfit. I’m top dog here and I’m still worth less than dirt. I’m going to change that.

As I grab a bag and begin filling it up with travel rations and snatch a water skin, Hans or Jan woke up. Great, I just wanted to get in and get out without any trouble and he’s going to be curious about why I’m gathering so many supplies.

“Kar,” Hans mumbled as he stood up. I hated that nickname and he knew it. “What are you doing?”

I looked him square in the face. “I’m getting some food. I’m hungry.”

He squinted at the bag as I put one last day’s worth of rations into my bag. “Hungry for several days of rations? Why?”

I grinned at that, maybe I could get away with this. “I’m a big guy; you of all people should know I eat a lot.”

He shook his head. “Sure, yeah, whatever” and then he sat back in his bed and rubbed this eyes. “Can’t believe I got up for that.”

As I left the building and closed the door behind me, I began to move towards the stable. Part way there I heard a sound behind me and turned around to see an alert Hans staring at me ten paces away with his sword drawn. I knew I couldn’t have gotten away with this without trouble.

“Where’s Perry?” I glanced over his shoulder. “Didn’t wake him up?”

“It’s Philip, and there’s no need, I can arrest you no problem. I thought something was wrong, and then I realized no one eats that much, not even you.”

I grinned. “Now aren’t you a clever one. Forget you ever saw me. I’m not wasting my life at a post I didn’t deserve.”

He took a step closer. “No, you’re coming with me to the cell.”

I put my bag down. “Not that cage. I am not going in there. You’ll have to try to kill me before you even get me close to that stinking thing.”

“Fine” and with that, he lunged at me. It was pathetic how easy it was to break his guard, disarm him, and then snap his neck. I didn’t even need to draw my sword that’s how easy it was. All I needed to do was deflect his sword with my bracer and the rest was a cake walk. It’s odd how they said in the academy it was hard to take a life for the first time. This was nothing but exhilarating, and I was sad it was over so quickly and in such a less than dramatic fashion.

Good bye hell hole, welcome adventure. Good bye night watch.

Human Rights Campaign Honors Attendees at Los Angeles Award Gala

  By susie | April 9, 2012 - 2:31 am | Great Posts Leave a comment

Supporters of the Human Rights Campaign gathered in Los Angeles on Saturday night for the organization’s annual fundraising event and awards gala dinner. An all-star line up of political and entertainment personalities were in attendance with approximately 1,000 supporters.

Here are some comments from several honored guests on the red carpet:

* Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa - The mayor said he believed the progress made by HRC and the fight for equality depended in large part on the support and assistance of President Barack Obama and called for everyone to work for the president’s re-election. “If the president is not re-elected, all the advances we have made over the past years will be undone,” he told supporters during a dinner speech. “Love doesn’t have a color…love doesn’t matter whether you are gay or straight.” Villaraigosa said the fight must continue because establishing equality for all people is today’s greatest battle for civil rights. “We need you to help keep this fight going. We need you to spread the message about equality for all people. It’s not about being gay or straight or anything else. It’s about ending discrimination for everyone.”

* MSNBC Host Chris Matthews – This year’s recipient of the Ally for Equality Award told Yahoo! News that the battle for equality will be won at the ballot box. “I think it’s going to win…state by state. I don’t know what route it’s going to take, it’s probably a combination of route.” Matthews said the possible referendum on same-sex marriage in New Jersey was probably not the best way to approach a resolution. “I’m curious how it will come out if there is a referendum, and I’m not sure there should be a referendum,” he said. “But if it does occur in a general election I think because more people vote, and when more people vote I think it tends to be more democratic…it just seems to happen that way. It’s better if it comes at whatever speed it is supposed to happen. This is democracy and it’s always better to happen the way it is supposed to.”

Matthews said some would argue the 10th Amendment prohibits the federal government from ruling on the issue of same-sex marriage for all states. “I like it when things move at a surprisingly democratic pace,” he said. “But then again I’m not gay and I do think there are opportunities to get married in this country…it may not be in every state, but something will happen.”

* Youth activitist/motivational speaker Johnny Robinson – After his anti-bullying video went viral in December, Robinson pledged to continue the campaign to end bullying and promote equality for everyone in a “Never Back Down” campaign that is spreading across the internet. “In order to raise awareness for equality, you have to raise your own voice first,” he said. “You raise your voice for what you believe in, and then you have to never back down.” Robinson said HRC is promoting the right agenda when it comes to removing discrimination from all people. “It’s more than just stopping bullying in schools. It is a fight for the rights of all people, everywhere. If we discriminate against one person, we discriminate against all people…we just have to keep up the fight and never back down.”

Becoming a Gamer Parent: How to Stay Relevant in a New World

  By susie | April 6, 2012 - 9:50 pm | Great Posts Leave a comment

If you’ve got children old enough to have any motor skills at all, chances are they’re playing video games. My 21-month-old daughter already knows how to unlock my iPhone, navigate to the group I made for her apps, and pick the ABC Song app or the Dr. Seuss app on her own. To a parent who didn’t grow up a part of the video game generation (or just didn’t play them), this concept probably seems a little foreign and overwhelming. Sensationalized media coverage about video games in the last few years has done little to assuage that discomfort. The hard truth is that video games have already surpassed movies and TV as the largest entertainment industry, and there is little you can do to stop kids from playing them.

Worry not, dear parent, for video games are not to be feared. Studies have shown many benefits of gaming – from increased attention span to improved spatial skills, better stress management, and increased development of reasoning and problem solving skills. They can even show improvement in cancer patients. But just because you shouldn’t fear them does not mean you shouldn’t have a healthy respect for them as an entertainment medium. There have been many studies linking exposure to violence in video games to aggressive behavior, though there are disputes to those findings. Regardless, you, as the parent, should be the arbiter of what your child consumes. Doing so responsibly requires becoming a gaming parent – but watch out: you might end up enjoying it.

Being a Gamer Parent Means Being a Gamer

The only way you’re going to do your due diligence as a parent in this respect is to be a gamer yourself. Does that mean twelve hour sessions of World of Warcraft? Absolutely not. But it does mean being involved – you can’t know what your children are playing by a look over their shoulder or a cursory examination of the box, or even a closer examination of the ratings on the box. You need to play games with your kids.

Gaming with kids doesn’t have to be complex. The Nintendo Wii is a great place to start – many of its games are easy to learn and fun for all ages. Sony and Microsoft have comparable products now for their consoles as well, though Microsoft has many more family offerings. These may not be the games your kids play when they’re by themselves, but the point of the exercise is that you’re involved in – as opposed to dismissive of – an activity that is important to your children. It also helps orient you into the gaming world, a place you need to at least have a foot into if you’re going to be a Gamer Parent.

Being a Gamer Parent Means Knowing the Games Your Kids Play

Hopefully you are aware that the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) places ratings on every video game in the store. Check these ratings when buying games, and stand firm when they aren’t appropriate for your kids. Too many parents see an “M” rating (meaning Mature – suitable for age 17 and up) on a game and let their kids play it anyway. You’re the parent, and those ratings have been placed there for a reason. Also be aware that many stores will sell “M” rated games to teenagers under 17 just like they will sell rated “R” movies to kids under 17. Be the video game shopper in your family – you should have the approval power over all game purchases, even if they’re buying it with their own money.

Being a Gamer Parent Means Making Your Own Informed Decisions About Video Games

Don’t buy into the media sensationalism about video games. The Mass Effect “Sex Box” silliness and the Grand Theft Auto “Hot Coffee” controversy featured many many talking heads shouting about how these games affect children – but here’s the thing: both games were rated “M” from the beginning. A responsible gamer parent wouldn’t have allowed their teenage or younger kids to be playing it to start with. “M” rated games are equivalent to “R” rated movies. The news media haven’t really caught on to this; they will still glorify a new Quentin Tarantino movie filled with violence and profanity as art and vilify an “M” rated game with the same content. If you wouldn’t let your child rent Pulp Fiction, then you shouldn’t let them play Grand Theft Auto.

Being a Gamer Parent Means Saying No Sometimes

One of the biggest concerns about kids and video games, aside from the violence issue, is the link to childhood obesity — which really shouldn’t be a surprise. Gaming is, for the most part, a sedentary activity just like watching TV. That means you, as the parent, need to be the one monitoring your kids’ gaming time. Make sure they get outside and play too. But sometimes it’s not just about being active; make sure your kids are getting equal time in other beneficial activities, like reading. Tell them no if they need it. Once again, you’re the parent – you are the final say in what’s best for your kids.

Gaming is here to stay and is becoming ever more pervasive in our daily lives. We are in the middle of a paradigm shift in kids’ entertainment, and that poses greater challenges to parents – who for the most part grew up in a different time. Becoming a Gamer Parent takes some work on our part, but in the end will not just enrich your kids’ lives, but also your family life overall.

Having a Spa Day at Home

  By susie | April 4, 2012 - 5:05 pm | Great Posts Leave a comment

A day at the spa can be just what the doctor ordered after a particularly stressful week at the office. If you don’t have a ton of money to drop at a spa, though, this can cause more stress. Never fear, because you can get a lot of the same treatments at home for very little money if you’re willing to perform these services yourself.

Manicures and Pedicures
Nothing makes you feel prettier than having your nails painted perfectly. A spa manicure and pedicure is even better because you leave with hands and feet feeling as smooth as a baby’s bottom. You can get this feeling at home, too. Just rub a little bit of your favorite oil or Vaseline onto your hands and feet. Cover them with gloves and socks and let them sit for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. When you take the socks and gloves off, your feet will be unbelievably soft. Get that perfect nail polish look by buying stick-on nail polish. It’s easy to use, and won’t leave a mess around your fingernail.

Facials
Facials are great for cleansing your pores and toning your skin. Make your own facials for a variety of purposes and apply them in the comfort of your own home. For treating acne scars, mix some lemon juice with honey, plain yogurt, and an egg white. Spread this over your face and let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse it off. Using skim milk powder as a face wash is a gentle way to promote smooth, silky skin. Honey and olive oil mixed together also make a great moisturizer for your face.

Massages
Giving yourself a massage can be easy with all of the different products on the market. Buy an inexpensive vibrating massage tool and use it on your back, legs, arms, and feet. You will feel instantly relaxed, and you can use it over and over again, whenever you need to relieve tension in your muscles. Of course, you can always have your spouse or partner give you a massage, which can be a romantic addition to a spa-at-home weekend. Just remember, though, you have to give one back!

Hair Treatments
Our hair can easily be stripped of nutrients, which can make it lack the shine and luster we so desperately want. In order to get this glossy, just-cut look, try using vinegar instead of conditioner. This will cleanse your hair of any particles that are making it look dull. Instead of vinegar, you can also use baking soda, which will double as a shampoo and clean your hair really well. You can also put old coffee grounds into your conditioner. This makes your hair super shiny. Olive oil also works really well as a conditioner. Massage it into damp hair, cover, and leave for about half an hour. Then rinse it out.

Body Treatments
Old coffee grounds also work great as a body scrub. The caffeine wakes up your skin, and when you mix the grounds with oil, you get a great moisturizing effect, as well. Putting some sugar or sea salt in a bit of olive oil will make a great scrub for your feet. This will get rid of dead skin and calluses. Applying oil such as olive oil or baby oil all over will moisturize your skin unlike any lotion, and these ingredients can make great massage oils, too.

Other Sources
There are all sorts of websites devoted to spa treatments at home. A quick Internet search will turn up all sorts of options for you. So relax and enjoy!
