Mozilla Led Effort for DNT Finds Broad Support

We’re excited to see the White House and Commerce Department unveil their much-anticipatedconsumer privacy white paper and call for a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights today. The team there put a tremendous amount of work into gathering public input and it’s great that they had the idea to evolve standard Fair Information Privacy Practices to be even more about protecting consumers as opposed to rote compliance.

Regarding industry announcements being reported on Do Not Track, here are three cool things we expect to see happen at a White House event today:

• Google commits to adding Do Not Track to their Chrome browser and respecting it in their advertisements. Welcome, Google!
• Big advertisers in the DAA industry group commit to responding to the Do Not Track header. What that response will be is still unclear, and we have some ongoing concerns to resolve, but this is a big step forward for industry to make this commitment.
• The Federal Trade Commission states that they will enforce Do Not Track. While Do Not Track remains voluntary for companies, any company that commits to implementing Do Not Track yet breaks that commitment is subject to FTC action.

As recent press makes all too clear, users’ needs for online privacy are not being fully addressed today, which is why the Federal Trade Commission called for a Do Not Track solution in the first place, and why 18% of mobile and 7% of desktop Firefox users already choose to turn on Do Not Track.

We’re encouraged to see increased momentum for Do Not Track. And as of today, it’s safe to say it’s here to stay.

Mozilla was the first company to include DNT in a browser when we added it to Firefox a year ago this month, and it’s been awesome to see others follow our lead. We want to continue to see Do Not Track evolve through the Internet’s rich tradition of open development and collaborative innovation. Do Not Track is too important to become a product of closed-door meetings rather than through open, multi-stakeholder efforts.

As we continue to work on Do Not Track, Mozilla is firmly committed to user sovereignty and meaningful privacy choices. We hope to be able to design and build a Do Not Track feature that achieves three goals:

1. Real choices: give users actionable and informed choices by allowing them to opt in or out of data collection and use.
2. Limited data: collect and retain the least amount of information necessary, and use anonymous, aggregate data whenever possible.
3. User control: put people in control of their information and online experiences.

These are inspired by Mozilla’s core privacy principles, which guide our data practices and operations.

Mozilla will continue to work at the W3C, which has a vital role to play in creating an international standard for Do Not Track that represents the consensus of a broad group of stakeholders. Mozilla’sDo Not Track Field Guide provides guidance, examples and sample code for anyone interested in implementing Do Not Track and we’ve already worked with several DAA members and other organizations to help them develop and fine-tune their own Do Not Track implementations.Update: Congratulations to DAA member Jumptap for being the first mobile ad network to respect Do Not Track via mobile browsers and apps.

As we’ve demonstrated over the past year, we stand ready to work with the DAA and its members, both within the W3C and through other fora, to make Do Not Track a fully working system. And if Do Not Track fails to materialize as a productive tool, we’ll look to develop other technical measures to ensure that users’ privacy preferences are respected.

P2PU #Your Domain : DNS

Hmm ... The DNS is Domain Name System, you know. Here's the link for detail information. I thought about that Domain Name System many times. I found one thing. For example, there is a address below.

Mr Steel Fort's House

No. 10, 10th St, Between Bogyoke 1st St x Bogyoke 2nd St,

New Tamwe Tsp, New Yangon City.

Domain Name is like Mr Steel Fort's House. IP Address is like No. 10, 10th St, ... .

That address is show in following map.
Please note the yellow rectangle as Mr Steel Fort's address.

OK, Now, What is Domain Name System like? It's the map. The map works as Domain Name System. The map binds Domain Name like Mr Steel Fort's House and IP Address like full address No. 10, 10th St, ... .

New Earth Planet: Kepler-22b

Kepler 22b - the 'new Earth' - could have oceans and continents, scientists claim

Kepler 22b, the planet which scientists say hold the best hope yet for future human habitation, could have continents, oceans and creatures already living on its surface, they believe.

The new planet was discovered by Nasa’s Kepler space telescope two years ago but new research has identified it as the most similar to our own yet discovered.

Kepler 22b is about twice the size of Earth and has temperatures which average around 72 degrees (22 Celsius).

It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life. However, there is a downside: it is 600 light years from Earth.

Kepler 22b is the first so-called "super-Earth" known to lie within the "habitable" zone of a star similar to our Sun.

Dubbed the "Goldilocks Zone", this is the band where temperatures are just right to allow the existence of surface liquid water throughout its orbit.

This means the planet could have continents and oceans just like the Earth, and where there is liquid water, there could also be life, they say.

Scientists believe Kepler 22b may not only be habitable, but possibly already even inhabited.

"This discovery supports the growing belief that we live in a universe crowded with life," said Dr Alan Boss, from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, who helped identify the planet from data obtained by the Kepler space telescope.

The telescope, launched by the American space agency NASA, is watching 155,000 stars looking for tiny drops in brightness that betray the presence of planets.

The star around which Kepler 22b orbits, in the region of the constellations of Lyra and Cygnus, should you know them, is slightly smaller than the Sun and about 25% less bright.

The planet orbits the star in 290 days, at a distance 15% closer than the Earth is from the Sun.

It lies right in the centre of the star's habitable zone, where potentially perfect conditions exist for life.

Two other small planets orbiting stars smaller and cooler than the Sun have recently been found at the very edges of their habitable zones. Their orbits more closely resemble those of Mars and Venus.

A report on the discovery will be published by the Astrophysical Journal.

Dr Douglas Hudgins, Kepler programme scientist at Nasa headquarters in Washington, said: "This is a major milestone on the road to finding Earth's twin."

The planet was spotted after making a "transit" across the front of its parent star, causing the star's brightness to dip.

ACTA is a Bad Way to Develop Internet Policy

Editor’s note: Today, Mitchell Baker posted her thoughts on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement proposal. Below is an excerpt from her blog:

ACTA (“Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement”) is a proposed new international law establishing international enforcement standards against counterfeit goods and pirated intellectual property items. ACTA was negotiated as a “trade agreement” which means that it was negotiated in private without open involvement of all the stakeholders. There has been no formal opportunity for input from people other than those who were lucky enough to be invited into the private discussions.
This is a bad way to build Internet policy. The Internet is a fundamental platform for communication and interaction. There are many stakeholders. The voices of human empowerment, human rights, and competing economic interests must be heard. These voices must have a place at the table when policy is debated. ACTA was not created through such a process.

Protests Break Out Across Europe Saturday! Join Us to Stop ACTA & TPP!

They tried to push internet censorship through Congress and we 
stopped them. But the companies behind SOPA & PIPA have a
backup plan: secretive trade agreements like ACTA & TPP.If we
can't stop these backroom deals, the internet's future belongs
to SOPA's backers.

6 Reasons to oppose ACTA

1. 
   ACTA locks countries into obsolete copyright and patent laws. If a democracy decides on less restrictive laws that reflect the reality of the internet, ACTA will prevent that.
2. ACTA criminalizes users by making noncommercial, harmless remixes into crimes if "on a commercial scale" (art 2.14.1). Many amateur works achieve a commercial scale on sites like Youtube. ACTA, like SOPA, could mean jail time for the Justin Biebers of the world.
3. ACTA Criminalizes legitimate websites, making them responsible for user behavior by "aiding and abetting". (art 2.14.4). Like SOPA, the founders of your favorite sites could be sued or (worse) thrown in jail for copyright infringement by their users.
4. ACTA will let rightsholders use laughably inflated claims of damages (based on the disproven idea that every download or stream is a lost sale) to sue people. As if suing amazing artists, video makers and websites for millions wasn't hard enough!
5. ACTA Permanently bypasses democracy by giving the "ACTA Committee" the power to "propose amendments to [ACTA]" (art 6.4). In other words, voting for ACTA writes a blank check to an unelected committee. These closed-door proceedings will be a playground for SOPA-supporters like the MPAA.
6. Trade agreements are a gaping loophole, a backdoor track that, even though it creates new law, is miles removed from democracy. It's a secretive process that's tailor-made to serve politically connected companies. And the movie studios behind SOPA? They're experts at it. If we can't make secretive trade agreements harder to pass than US law, our internet's future belongs to the lobbyists behind SOPA.

HTML Hunting in the World Around Me

This is the task from P2PU.org. The task is to find the things around our environment or world that can make into code. Here's the things around me.

The tool that I use : Komodo-Edit

There are many text editors and IDEs. I choose one of them. It is Komodo Edit. It is free and supports multiple platforms. It is running on mozilla 7.0. It has more features like other IDEs such as auto-complete, syntax highlighting, and many. And, it supports html, javascripts, and many, and also supports other programming languages such as python, php, perl, and many many. So, I choose and use it for multi purpose.

You can find it here for more detail.
