Stephen Thomas (Bosnian: Stjepan Tomaš/Стјепан Томаш; c. 1411 – 10 July 1461) was a member of the House of Kotromanić who reigned as the penultimate King of Bosnia from 1443 until his death. He succeeded his kinsman, Stephen Tvrtko II, but was not recognized as king by the kingdom's leading nobleman, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača. The two engaged in a civil war which ended with the King's marriage to the insubordinate nobleman's daughter Catherine. His reign was marked by conflicts with the Serbian Despotate and the Ottoman Empire. Thomas is perhaps best known as the first ruler of Bosnia who engaged in religious persecution. He was succeeded by his son, Stephen Tomašević, but the Kingdom fell to the Ottomans within two years.
Thomas was a son of King Ostoja, who died in 1418, and his mistress, whose name is not recorded. He was a doubly adulterine child, as both his father and mother were married at the time of his birth,[1] and was raised as a member of the Bosnian Church, to which his parents adhered.[2] Stephen Ostojić, Ostoja's only known legitimate child and successor, was deposed by Tvrtko II in 1421. Thomas' likewise illegitimate older brother Radivoj unsuccessfully contested Tvrtko's rule with the help of the Ottoman Empire. Ostoja was the only non-Catholic King of Bosnia, being a member of the Bosnian Church; it is likely that Thomas was also raised as an adherent of the Bosnian Church.[3]
Ostoja's, and therefore Thomas and Radivoj's, relationship with Tvrtko II and the rest of the House of Kotromanić is disputed. In a charter issued upon his accession, Thomas described Tvrtko II as his patruus, a Latin word that means "paternal uncle" if used as a noun, but "paternal uncle's son" if used as an adjective. The uncertainty is somewhat cleared by Ostoja's charters in which he referred to Tvrtko I, Tvrtko II's father, as his "late brother". The historian Dominik Mandić notes that, while cousins sometimes addressed each other as brothers, it would have been highly unusual for a person to describe his or her father as brother. Mandić thus concludes that Thomas was a patrilineal first cousin of Tvrtko II.[2]
Count Hermann II of Celje, a descendant of the House of Kotromanić whom the childless King Tvrtko II had recognized as heir presumptive, died in 1435. When the King himself died in November 1443, the authorities of the neighbouring Republic of Ragusa immediately expressed concern about the uncertainty of succession. By 5 December, Thomas had been enthroned as the new king. His accession must have been decided by the nobility at a stanak, although he later claimed to have been designated heir by Tvrtko II. Stjepan Vukčić, the kingdom's most powerful magnate, did not take part in the election and did not consent to it. He immediately took up the cause of Thomas's brother Radivoj. Stjepan and Radivoj appealed to Ragusa not to recognize Thomas as king, but to no avail. Simultaneously, Hermann's grandson Ulrich II pressed his claim to the Bosnian throne and tried to gather support among Thomas's opponents.[4] Hungary only recognized Thomas in June 1444, thanks to John Hunyadi's intercession with King Vladislaus I. Grateful, Thomas promised to help John in every matter, free passage and shelter in Bosnia, and an annual income.[5]
The Kingdom of Hungary, nominal overlord of the Kingdom of Bosnia, had too much trouble of its own to interfere in the succession, with supporters of Hermann's great-grandson, King Ladislaus V, caught up in a war against the partisans of King Vladislaus I. Thomas was most likely designated heir by Tvrtko himself, as the former claimed in a charter he later issued, because the ailing King wished to ensure that the crown would not pass to his despised rival Radivoj. As the succession passed rather smoothly, it is safe to assume that Tvrtko had paved the way for Thomas's accession. The only nobleman who supported Radivoj was the most powerful one – the Grand Duke of Bosnia Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, who did not participate in Thomas' election. One of Thomas's important early achievements, in the beginning of 1444, was retaking the lucrative silver mining town of Srebrenica, which had been conquered by Đurađ Branković, Despot of Serbia.[3]
King Thomas's first wife was Vojača, whom he had married according to the laws and customs of the Bosnian Church before he became king. She was the mother of his eldest son, Stephen Tomašević. Upon his accession, however, the nobility objected to her humble origin, and Thomas was forced to repudiate her. Pope Eugene IV easily granted him the annulment on 29 May 1445, as the marriage was considered invalid under Roman Catholic teaching, and at the same time legitimated his birth and recognized him as King of Bosnia.[2]
Civil war[edit]
A civil war escalated between the King and the Grand Duke soon after the former's accession. The papacy at the time strived to create a powerful counter-offensive against the Ottoman Empire, but papal envoys sent to the King and the Grand Duke failed to secure their full participation in the Crusade of Varna due to their internal conflict. Vladislaus I died in the Battle of Varna on 10 November 1444, leaving Ladislaus V as the uncontested King of Hungary. John Hunyadi, regent for the underage King Ladislaus, formally recognized Thomas as King of Bosnia. John Hunyadi sent him no troops, however, while the Grand Duke received military support from the Ottomans and their vassal, Đurađ Branković.[3]
Thomas was converted to Roman Catholicism by Thomas of Hvar in early 1446, but was not baptized until the late 1450s, when Cardinal Carvajal was dispatched to perform the ceremony.[6] A large number of Bosnian noblemen followed the King's example – although some later returned to the Bosnian Church. Even Grand Duke Stjepan contemplated leaving the Bosnian Church to become a Roman Catholic, but never did. The King's civil war with him ended at that time, with lands and borders reverting to status quo ante bellum.[3] As part of the peace settlement,[3] in Milodraž on 26 May,[2] Thomas married his former enemy's daughter Catherine, who had to join the Roman Catholic Church in order to become queen. The union was probably considered already in 1445, when the King asked the Pope to annul his first marriage.[6] The couple erected a considerable number of churches and Franciscan monasteries.[3]
Conflict with Serbia[edit]
The Ottomans wished to weaken Bosnia by encouraging internal division, and were thus dismayed when the civil war ended. So was Đurađ Branković, a traditional ally of the House of Kosača, due to his conflict with Thomas over the possession of Srebrenica. After the town changed hands twice between 1444 and 1446, the King and the Despot agreed that its revenues would be split between them, and that coins minted there would bear one ruler's name on one side and the other ruler's name on the other side.[3]
In 1448, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača attempted to repair his relations with Đurađ Branković by announcing his independence from his son-in-law, Thomas, dropping the title of Grand Duke of Bosnia and calling himself first Duke of Hum and then Duke of Sava. When war broke out between Thomas and Đurađ Branković the same year, the King's father-in-law supported the Serbs; Srebrenica was conquered along with the entire left bank of the Drina. Srebrenica was recaptured by Thomas's forces and held briefly in 1449, but Serbia's alliance with the Ottoman Empire forced the King to accept the loss.[3]
In April 1456, King Thomas refused to surrender four strategically important towns to the Ottomans, and their attacks became much more frequent. Đurađ Branković died the same year. When his son and successor, Lazar, died in 1458, Thomas seized the opportunity to reclaim Srebrenica, along with eleven other towns situated on the Drina's left bank. In 1459, he made peace with Lazar's widow, Helena Palaiologina, and procured the marriage of his eldest son, Stephen Tomašević, with her and Lazar's eldest daughter, Helena.[3] He thereby secured his son's accession as Despot of Serbia, but found it necessary to apologize in writing to Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, as he had earlier envisioned a marriage between his son and the Duke's daughter.[7] Stephen Tomašević's reign as despot did not last long. On 20 June 1459, the Ottomans conquered Smederevo Fortress and annexed Serbia. The Hungarians accused Thomas of selling Smederevo, but probably groundlessly.[3]
Religious persecution[edit]
Unlike in other Balkan states of the time, the politics of Bosnia were not dominated by religion, and its rulers were characterized by religious tolerance. Things changed in 1459, however, when the Ottoman threat became ever more looming. King Thomas asked Pope Pius II for help, but the Pope responded that he would not come to his aid for as long as the Bosnian Church was tolerated. The decision then taken by Thomas made him the first Bosnian ruler to persecute people on the account of their religion,[3] a policy popes had long demanded from Bosnia's Catholic rulers.[3] In 1459, Thomas required the clergy of the Bosnian Church to either convert or leave his realm. The exiles moved to the territory of the King's father-in-law. The King proceeded to confiscate vast properties and land belonging to the Church's monasteries. The persecution all but destroyed the Bosnian Church by the end of Thomas's reign.[3]
Death and succession[edit]
King Thomas died on 10 July 1461. According to legend, he was murdered by his brother Radivoj and son Stephen Tomašević; the historian Vjekoslav Klaić asserts that the most likely cause was an illness, given that the King requested a physician from the Republic of Dubrovnik on 8 June. Stephen Tomašević succeeded him, and reigned until 1463, when the Ottomans executed both him and Radivoj and put an end to the Kingdom of Bosnia.[8]
King Thomas was buried in the royal mausoleum in Bobovac. Based on the state of his teeth, the anthropologist Živko Mikić concluded that the King was about 50 years old when he died.[9]
Thomas's character greatly impressed the Italian condottiero Gaspare Broglio da Lavello (son of Angelo Tartaglia), whom he met in 1452. Broglio wrote that he had never met a prince more refined and dignified, surpassing even Federico da Montefeltro, Broglio's idol.[10]
King Thomas was married twice. The commoner Vojača was the mother of Stephen Tomašević, Thomas's elder surviving son and successor, and of three more children: two daughters and a son who died of fever at the age of 14 during a pilgrimage to Mljet. By his second wife, Catherine of St Sava, Thomas had a son named Sigismund and a daughter named Catherine.[11]

Beatport's new Baseware Distribution aims to spread electronic music to the masses
Late last month, Beatport announced its newest venture, Baseware Distribution, a service geared toward helping the electronic musicians who already use Beatport to get their music to more outlets, including iTunes, Spotify, Rdio and Stompy.
"The goal is to help empower artists to reach their market," says Beatport's Tyler Jensen. "It's to further help artists get their music out there." This new function will help artists do just that by pulling their already existent content from Beatport and pushing it elsewhere. While Baseware Distribution is a separate web portal, it will integrate with Beatport and, most important, have a software tool set to allow musicians and label partners to review sales and manage their music.
Ken Parks, the Chief Content Officer of Spotify, is thrilled to bring Beatport's library to the streaming service. "Beatport represents some of the finest electronic dance music, artists and labels in the world," he writes. "So we're thrilled to partner with Baseware to be able to offer this exceptional content to Spotify's millions of users all over the world."
From the musician's point of view, it looks like the same easy implementation of content seeding for electronic music that bands using the likes of IOTA or CDBaby have had for a while, but with the added bonus of being able to actually choose which services get the songs. No date has been announced yet for the first big push, but according to Jensen, the service should be propagating tracks any day now.

Chicago tries counterintuitive idea to fight crime: wiping away some arrest records
CHICAGO — Desperate to curb the gun violence wracking their city, Chicago lawmakers are leading the way toward a counterintuitive idea — fighting crime by making it easier for young people to wipe away minor arrest records.
The goal is to give tens of thousands of teens a better chance to find work or get into college, rather than letting a minor episode with police possibly doom them to a life on the gang-dominated streets of some of the city's most troubled neighborhoods.
A law recently passed by the state Legislature made Illinois one of the few states to automatically expunge the criminal records of juveniles who were arrested but never charged.
Mariama Bangura, 17, was arrested last year after she was accused of threatening a teacher. Though she was never charged, she worries that the incident could sink her adult ambitions.
"I want to be a nurse or massage therapist, and what if the whole thing keeps coming up?" she asked. "I want a career."
Squatters in notorious Venezuelan vertical slum evicted, military to take control of tower
CARACAS, Venezuela — The first of thousands of squatters who transformed a half-built skyscraper into a vertical slum were moved out by armed soldiers Tuesday, marking the beginning of the end for the Tower of David's haphazard community.
Police in riot gear and soldiers with Kalashnikov assault rifles stood on side streets as dozens of residents boarded buses for their new government-provided apartments in Cua, a town about 23 miles south of Caracas.
Ernesto Villegas, the government minister overseeing Caracas' redevelopment, told reporters that the eviction was necessary because the 45-story building in the heart of the capital is unsafe.
He said children have fallen to their deaths from the tower, which in some places is missing walls or windows. The damp, foul-smelling concrete lobby attested to the lack of working plumbing.
Villegas said the tower, initially a symbol of failed capitalism, had gone on to represent community. The squatters' invasion was part of a larger appropriation of vacant buildings encouraged by the late former President Hugo Chavez.
Aug. recess looming: Congress faces highway funding, veterans care and immigration issues
WASHINGTON — Pressure is on Congress to act in the next two weeks on several problems, from keeping highway projects on track and easing wait time for veterans seeking health care to the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Pass a bill or don't come back from recess," William A. Thien, the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, warned lawmakers pondering the Department of Veterans Affairs legislation. "America's veterans are tired of waiting — on secret waiting lists at the VA and on their elected officials to do their jobs."
With the monthlong August recess looming, progress has been decidedly mixed on several must-past items as congressional partisanship — only fiercer in an election year — and the Obama administration's conflicting signals to Capitol Hill complicate prospects for legislation.
Lawmakers have been struggling to find about $10 billion to keep highway projects on track through next spring, produce legislation to speed up health care for veterans and address how to deal with some 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who have entered the U.S. along the southern border since last fall.
Things look promising for legislation to "patch" the highway trust fund after an overwhelming House vote last week.

Keeping It Fair
You're sitting down with your friends to play a boardgame, and you find yourself in a conundrum: how do you choose a first player? Sure, you could roll a standard die and take highest number, but what if there's a tie? That could take forever! Besides, wouldn't you rather be mathematically sure that everyone has a fair shot at each spot in the turn order? Of course you would!
The toilet seat: up or down?
"I amused myself for over a year thinking about the impacts of different toilet seat administration policies and how to measure them – doing calculations in my head, considering ratios of Standing events to Sitting events, and I slowly began to understand some of the specific differences in the basic policies that know to be administered most often. Finally, I decided to perform a probabilistic analysis". Essential Toilet Seat Analytics.

Network Theory Overview - "The idea: nature and the world of human technology are full of networks! People like to draw diagrams of networks. Mathematical physicists know that in principle these diagrams can be understood using category theory. But why should physicists have all the fun? This is the century of understanding living systems and adapting to life on a finite planet. Math isn't the main thing we need, but it's got to be part of the solution... so one thing we should do is develop a unified and powerful theory of networks." (via ;)

Monte Carlo
The year was 1945. Two earthshaking events took place: the successful test at Alamogordo and the building of the first electronic computer. Their combined impact was to modify qualitatively the nature of global interactions between Russia and the West. No less perturbative were the changes wrought in all of academic research and in applied science. On a less grand scale these events brought about a [renaissance] of a mathematical technique known to the old guard as statistical sampling; in its new surroundings and owing to its nature, there was no denying its new name of the Monte Carlo method (PDF). -N. MetropolisConceptually talked about on MeFi previously, some basic Monte Carlo methods include the Inverse Transform Method (PDF) mentioned in the quoted paper, Acceptance-Rejection Sampling (PDFs 1,2), and integration with and without importance sampling (PDF).

The Complexity of a Controversial Concept
The Logic of Diversity "A new book, The Wisdom of Crowds [..:] by The New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki, has recently popularized the idea that groups can, in some ways, be smarter than their members, which is superficially similar to Page's results. While Surowiecki gives many examples of what one might call collective cognition, where groups out-perform isolated individuals, he really has only one explanation for this phenomenon, based on one of his examples: jelly beans [...] averaging together many independent, unbiased guesses gives a result that is probably closer to the truth than any one guess. While true — it's the central limit theorem of statistics — it's far from being the only way in which diversity can be beneficial in problem solving." (Three-Toed Sloth)

I've worked out how to do it in a hackish way but wondering if theres a decent way to do it…

First of all, I should say I am short Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) because of the extreme overvaluation, the lack of earnings growth and the non-GAAP shenanigans that allow it to claim a profit while posting GAAP losses, due to the way it ignores compensation costs paid in stock.
However, it is critically important to understand what the bull thesis is, lest it be right and overwhelm any kind of overvaluation or lack of growth.
The bull thesis in CRM rests mainly upon 2 vectors:
The cash flow CRM generates
Because of its nature as a subscription-based service, CRM gets to collect cash from customers well before it renders its services and recognizes revenues from rendering those services. This allows CRM to post a large operating cash flow even though, given that the revenues are not all recognized upfront, the earnings lag.
One can check the latest 10-K or the most recent 10-Q to observe this in action. CRM posted $459 million in operating cash flow during 2010, and $222 million during the first 6 months of FY 2012.
Obviously, the cash flow numbers being much larger than earnings makes for an opportunity to calculate valuation multiples for CRM that are a lot less outlandish than Price-to-Earnings, even if non-GAAP based.
A P/CF multiple using $459 million in operating cash flow, 141 million shares and $133 per share comes in at 41.5. Not cheap by any measure, but not 10-40 times higher than the market, either, as would be the case when using P/E. Also, contrary to EPS (GAAP or non-GAAP), one can argue that operating cash flow is still growing as long as revenues continue to grow.
My problem with this argument? Well, a large part of the operating cash flow, 18% in 2010 (CY), but trending towards 50% in 2011 (CY) is coming from paying employees with stock, hardly a high-quality source of cash, if it can even be called "operating cash flow". This means that any cash flow based multiples should probably be corrects upwards by a factor of 2, and then they become as supportive of CRM's share price as the P/E.
My position regarding cash flow being generated from paying employees with stock can be understood if one imagines a company selling something for $10 (net) and paying $20 to its employees in stock to sell it. Such a company would show non-GAAP earnings like CRM and cash flow like CRM yet would obviously not be worth much.
The subscription model
Perhaps even more salient than the cash flow, the main point in the bull's thesis is that if and when CRM stops growing so fast, it will be a huge money-maker, even earnings-wise.
Central to this theory is the notion that most of the costs to get a customer are up-front, and there's not much in costs for CRM to keep and service such customers. This is borne out by the fact that CRM is now spending at much as 53.7% of their revenues in "Marketing and sales", and much of that theoretically needs not be spent to service or keep existing customers after year 1.
Part of this theory is certainly right, it IS much cheaper to keep a customer than acquire one. So, earnings from existing customers should be much higher than those from newly acquired ones.
What is my problem with this? First, it is very hard to know how much of the marketing and sales is needed to service present customers. Then, a part of the costs to service clients, including long term commissions, is capitalized or exists even if the customer is not new. Also, and most important, a large percentage of CRM's customers, 70% or more, are already beyond the first year of their contracts, have already renewed, and the huge profitability kick-in has not been observed. It is hard to believe that revenue growth at just 30% per year can have costs so high that they are able to eat up all that increased profitability that was sure to arrive but never did, and keeps getting pushed back, to the point where CRM has shown no increased profits, even in non-GAAP terms, for almost 2 years (7 quarters).
Finally, if keeping the existing customers is so costless, then a much increased marketing spend should produce much faster growth – because most of it would go to capture new customers. Such is not observed; the absolute growth from 2008 FY to 2009 FY, 2009 FY to 2010 FY or 2010 FY to 2011 FY is in the same ballpark ($250 - $350 million in absolute increase in revenues) even though marketing spend in 2011 FY was more than twice what it was during 2008 FY. Either finding new customers is getting a lot harder, or there really is a large component of marketing and sales that goes to service existing customers, going directly against this thesis.
It helps investors and traders to know what the other side is thinking. In fundamental terms, the above 2 theories are what the other side is thinking in CRM. Obviously there are also a few other components regarding momentum, the "cloud" story and, I believe, a huge stock promotion, in play.
As I believe I have shown above, these arguments can have some validity, but are far from being clear cut. At some point, even if one believes the model the company follows has delayed profitability, profitability HAS to make an appearance, which it hasn't.
Add to this the questionable nature of a company that switches from GAAP to non-GAAP clearly to paint a better picture and you have what looks to be an obvious stock promotion far departed from reality.
Disclosure: I am short CRM.

Hi, I'm not an actual BB developer, but for personal use I've slightly modified a BB cod file and reloaded it onto the device only to encounter an error telling me that I need a license to use the API.
I am not very familiar with anything having to do with BB, but I'm fairly certain that the modified cod would work if it werent for the API restriction: I've simply altered some directory strings directly in the cod files and corrected the file's CRC32 in the cod-zip for it to properly load onto the device.
So... am I infringing some sort of RIM copyright while doing so? and what steps do I need to take to make the modified RIM application functional? Thanks
Copyright? No. License? Probably.
I'll leave the legal stuff up to someone else and focus on the signing.
The CRC32 is for the COD with the signing code. The signing code is everything but the CRC32. So by changing the code you invalidated the signing code. Changing the CRC32 will let you load the COD onto the BlackBerry but if the signing key doesn't match because everything else is changed then you're stuck.
You should definitely not post this on the board.
I don't really see the problem, shism2. I'm asking about copyright because I wasn't sure if modifying RIM apps and submitting them for licensing was common practise...
About the signing, from what you said I take it that my file passes the integrity test but doesn't match the key, which is generated from the whole cod file. Although I'm still not sure what exactly is the key and where it is located, and what type of file can be signed (do I need the source code)?
Is there documentation on this?
Correct. I don't know much about the key either. It isn't documented anywhere and it is expected you have source code, compile it, and sign it. You might be able to resign the COD but I don't know exactly (never tried).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Beneath the glass, a tightly woven plait of light brown hair was laid onto a silk background. The locket is inscribed on its reverse with the death date of the deceased: obt 20 / of April / 1706 above an engraved skull.

President Obama Proposes New Legislation and Model Terms of Service to Protect Student Privacy
During his speech earlier this week at the Federal Trade Commission, President Obama unveiled a set of proposals to enhance student privacy protections.
During his speech earlier this week at the Federal Trade Commission, President Obama unveiled a set of proposals to enhance student privacy protections.
Today, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a hearing to seek the views of the Federal Trade Commission and the Administration on privacy issues. Discussion at the hearing, entitled "The Need for Privacy Protections: Perspectives from the Administration and the Federal Trade Commission," focused in significant part on the privacy reports recently released by the FTC and the Administration.
By now, you have almost certainly seen the reports that the White House and the Federal Trade Commission want a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights with seven principles:
The Obama Administration's consumer data privacy framework released last month will impact companies' data collection, use, and retention practices, and raises complex legal issues. As explained in a recent article by Keller and Heckman LLP, the notion of codes of conduct developed through a multistakeholder process, to be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), raises (1) administrative procedure concerns, and (2) questions as to whether self-regulatory initiatives could be hampered.
The Department of Commerce has already taken the first steps to implementing the White House's Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights announced last month. Commerce has invited comment on "what issues should be addressed through the privacy multi-stakeholder process and how to structure these discussions so they are open, transparent, and most productive."
The Obama Administration has released a framework for protecting privacy and promoting innovation in the global digital economy that it intends to implement "without delay." The document, "Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World," highlights the continuing importance of privacy issues to businesses and individuals – and to the government.
Hoping to shape the development of national – and possible international – consensus on the privacy protections to which on-line consumers should be entitled, the Obama Administration has issued a report on "Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World" in which it lays out a "blueprint for privacy in the information age." A central component of the report is a proposed "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights". That "bill of rights" reflects a set of principles which are, at this point, merely aspirational, with no independent legal force.
In the wake of the White House's February 23, 2012 release of Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World: A Framework for Protecting and Promoting Innovation in a Global Digital Economy ("Framework"), the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) published in today's Federal Register a request for public comments from all interested stakeholders on consumer data privacy issues to be addressed through enforceable voluntary codes of conduct.
The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) sought public comment Wednesday on how to begin the process of developing voluntary codes of conduct governing consumer privacy, as called for in the privacy framework released by the White House last month.
As a denizen of the internet, I've always viewed my personal information as a form of currency. If I want to use a service online, my address, e-mail, and phone number are all fair game. However, I've always maintained the mindset of, "At least someone is asking me for this information." Unfortunately, that's not always the case.
From online tracking mechanisms (such as cookies or spyware) that watch our every step once we enter a website to iPhone applications that download your entire address book , our personal data exchanges hands faster than we can click or dial. While the European Union gives consumers a considerable amount of control over this information (as discussed in last week's LXBN Roundtable), it wasn't until last Thursday, February 23rd , that the United States made any sort of steps to provide consumers with rights to their information online.
