As today is Friday, an article with considerations on rules and consumers rights within European Union- using some personal experiences as practical examples.
Last Sunday I was watching a news show reporting on watchdogs in Italy, as I reported on Frype/Facebook few days ago.
It was quite interesting to see how it was simply a confirmation that, also when an institution is built around a purpose that is not fulfilling as originally expected, it will shift its purpose from the original one to… its own survival.

Recently NATO announced that a new direction is needed, and today there is a meeting to start discussing the strategy for the next 10 years.
Since the announce, that included discussing opening beyond the limited boundaries (physical and in terms of mission) of post-Cold War peace-keeping, I have been reading the reactions in few newspapers around the world.
Scepticism is the common thread- but it is actually an intellectual posturing to “wait and see”.

This is a short article, as I already wrote before about my concept, e.g. here.
Today’s release is an online packaging of the business and data analysis of an application that I developed in the 1990s, and used to support my organizational development activities.

Since at least 1970s, we all became used to seamless and instantaneous access to financial resources worldwide.
Over the last few decades, this extended also to the assembly line and the supply chain.
The missing link is still the people.
We are burdened by increasingly Byzantine rules on movement and resettlement, whose complexity is creating an industry in its own.
In this article, some simple considerations from observing rules and regulations around, trying to balance common sense and security.

Following Italian news is almost a full-time job, and also in Italy I met quite a few people whose only source of information is the sampling of few TV news.
If you missed the news- it has been reported that the T.A.R. (an administrative court of appeals) sided with ENAC’s decision that “in the interest of consumers” any kind of ID issued by Italian authorities (including hunting and driving licenses) is acceptable to identify yourself for internal flights, not just those recognized by other members states.

After the Millennium Bug, a side-effect of 9/11 was the quest for a “silver bullet” in global and personal security.
Biometrics (see the article on Wikipedia to start your quest on what it means).
Pardon my over-simplification: I will consider biometrics, be it the actual measurement of physical, unchangeable characteristics of a human individual, or the profiling [...]

this document is just an introduction to the subject, and therefore it is in a “bullet list” format, with a main issue introducing each bullet list.
it was presented on 2008-09-28 (WGAW Registered) as a proposal for concept for a chapter on “social networking: security issues”, as part of a wider book on “network security”, but eventually I had to withdraw from consideration my concept.
my original material is published here, with some limited changes, due to the evolution of the subject, and to make this posting as self-contained as possible.

Social networking nowadays is considered just a synonym for MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
And the Wikipedia link shown above is a classical example: you search for social networking, and you get social network service.
But it started before. And it is not limited to that.
During the Summer of 2009 I will start to release part of my research (few hundred pages, and few thousand pages of supporting references, links, articles, etc), on “cross-media convergence” in business
