A Tool To See What Your Email Meta-data Reveals About You

Earlier this week, Mike Masnick of Techdirt complained that anyone who dismisses the NSA’s collection of metadata around people’s phone calls and emails (as revealed in the Snowden Leaks ) “because it’s ‘just metadata’ doesn’t know what metadata is.” The argument is that you can learn a lot about who a person associates with and what they might talk about without actually reading their emails or listening to their phone calls. Coincidentally, MIT Media Lab released a tool this month that allows people to analyze their own email metadata. Called Immersion , it scrapes a user’s Gmail account looking only at the metadata (From, To, Cc and Timestamp fields of the emails) to present an overview of their network. If you’re comfortable handing over that data to the MIT Team — they promise to let you delete it — give it a try to show what it reveals about you. The team tells me that 210,000 people have run the tool so far. I’m one of them. Here’s my own Immersion chart s...

Data Brokers Are Now Selling Your Car's Location For $10 Online

The Berkeley Marina, a stretch of park and an enclosed yacht harbor, juts into the San Francisco Bay. Visitors regularly drive there to admire the dramatic view that includes Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. When I lived in the area, I often parked my car, surveyed the vista for many minutes, then drove away if the weather did not prove ideal for windsurfing. When fertilizer salesman Scott Peterson made his last visits to the Berkeley Marina from his hometown of Modesto, Calif., he had a practical goal in mind. He wanted to see whether his pregnant wife whom he had murdered had washed up along the shoreline. In the Peterson case a decade ago, police placed a GPS tracker onto his vehicles when they began to suspect that he was lying. Peterson had driven a few times to the marina homicide site, even though he told police he had only learned his wife had gone missing after returning from a fishing expedition to the San Francisco Bay. That GPS evidenc...

The 2 Easy Ways to Make Your PC Run Like New

One of the most frustrating things in life is a slow computer. Every few years, we buy an expensive new PC and love how fast it starts up, runs programs, and loads websites. Inevitably though, it starts to slow down until eventually we are pulling our hair out waiting for it to do routine tasks. Why is this? It turns out the answer is actually quite simple and you don't even need to be "technical" to understand the causes and solutions. The good news: It's not the computer hardware that's the problem. In most cases, the hardware you have is perfectly capable of being restored to its original glory and kept in fast running condition with minimal effort. Rather, the problem lies with changes that occur to the PC's software. The two most common causes of slowdown (along with easy solutions) are: 1. The most common problem: registry errors Every time you (or your kids) load a program, game, or file, your PC's software registry is updated with...
