Follow me on Twitter. Dave Kearns' Fusion newsletters on:. Friday, September 06, 2013. How long has NSA been asking for back doors? I wrote this in my Novell NetWare Tips. Newsletter back in August, 2001, joking (I think) about the NSA and CIA. But, perhaps, it was prophetic - or I'd stumbled onto the truth! What has been truly amazing during the recent flap about Novell’s Padlock patch for GroupWise (see GroupWise Users Fight Mystery Bug , http:/ www.nwfusion.com/news/2001/0820gwbug.html).

April 18, 2014. That leads to the current atmosphere today of kids being over tested or parents over-Pinteresting out of guilt, and everyone feeling sort of miserable. I get weird and irritable near portfolio review time, wondering if I have enough “stuff” and if the person reviewing us is going to think it’s not advanced enough for my kids. This week about slowing down. And just enjoying things. My favorite part was this:. But if I had taken a test about French Impressionists as a kid, I’m sure I ...

Follow me on Twitter. Dave Kearns' Fusion newsletters on:. Saturday, March 15, 2014. Onenameio - a new ID layer for the internet. Onenameio /onename is it's name. Described as "the decentralized identity system built on Bitcoin". Yeah, already sounds bad, doesn't it? But wait, there's more. The introduction states (in part):. Nobody owns or controls OneName and users are in complete control of their data. With Bitcoin, private keys provide us with complete control over our. This one is going nowhere.

According to an article in Time Magazine, you can Opt Out of Facebook’s New Ad-Targeting Program. But FB will still track your web browsing. And FB will still show you lots of ads. The difference is that the ads will not be particularly relevant to your needs and preferences. So, show of hands - how many of you don't mind being tracked, but love seeing irrelevant advertising?

Follow me on Twitter. Dave Kearns' Fusion newsletters on:. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. This Christmas, walk a mile in someone else's shoes. You know the sort of stories I mean, they have punch lines like so he stuck the floppy in the fax machine! We all chuckle, take another sip of some fermented or distilled beverage and attempt to top that story with one showing an even more egregious misunderstanding of tech stuff.

Follow me on Twitter. Dave Kearns' Fusion newsletters on:. Friday, August 02, 2013. Properties necessary for an IdP and an AP. It follows, then, that the service needs to be distributable, replicatable and partitionable. First, we'll look at replication. The identity service needs to be replicated first and foremost for fault tolerance. If there's only one copy of the data, on one server, then the data is only available as long as that hardware is available. That's neither ubiquitous nor pervasive. But b...
