Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
In the wake of the flap involving Facebook’s Beacon program, which circulates information about a user’s online purchases from third-party retailers to relevant Facebook friends, Internet privacy is coming under ever-increasing scrutiny. One discouraging conclusion from a panel of privacy experts at today’s State of the Net conference is that it’s almost impossible to keep putatively private data out of sight on the Internet.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
