Open source communities vie with dominant vendors Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Nokia and Google to stake out their claims as open source innovations collide with standards consortia and proprietary alternatives.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10645842258906731036noreply@blogger.comBlogger556125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462488.post-13849144753447911902019-02-21T11:44:00.001-08:002019-02-21T11:44:24.223-08:00Game On Microsoft!<h2 style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2.4rem; line-height: 1.33333; margin: 2.8rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The Microsoft Office suite, is, it’s fair to say fairly ubiquitous across corporate IT culture around the world, but Google is trying to change that, but to make it easy, they’ve added native MS Office editing to Google Docs."</em></div>

Okay. If true, this is a very big deal. If true, Google will find itself back in the race to dominate Cloud Computing. But I will wait to see it before believing.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Microsoft Office has dominated office productivity for over 25 years. By 1998, anti trust claims against Microsoft alleged that the tech giant had a monopoly grip on 98% of business productivity systems. In the wake of the anti trust suit, my business partners and I worked for years on the Oasis Open Document Technical Committee. The sole purpose of which was to break the iron grip office applications had on document based information; to provide office applications with an open XML standard that ALL applications could read, write, layout properly and process.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Everyone on the TC knew the dawn of a time was at hand when many applications would be needed to operate on a document or workflow of documents. The world needed an open, Internet ready document format, capable of handling the application complexities of complex Office productivity.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If this news report is true, then the Oasis Open Document TC should take a well deserved bow. Their herculean effort would make ODF the most successful failure in tech standards history.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If this is true.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And, the incredible advance this breakthrough represents comes at a most important time. The world is racing ahead, making a great transition from an aging Windows client/server platform model to a highly mobile Cloud Computing model. We are way beyond the point of no return.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The great transition began with the Internet gradually establishing itself as a universal platform integrating communications, computation and collaboration. The platform evolution somehow survived the browser wars between Microsoft and the rest of the world. But it really took off in 2009 with the introduction of the iPhone; a mobile device finally integrating communications, computation and collaboration. Productivity magic in the palm of your hand, soon enough connecting to the most powerful arrays of computational resources ever assembled.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Suddenly we find ourselves in an AI world, where the power of super computing centers can be delivered anywhere, anytime, to anyone. The computational power of serverless computing in the Cloud is mind boggling.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Only one problem here. We have years of vital information, much of which is in-process and critical to profitable workflows, locked into application bound databases and document resources.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Productivity = Communications X computational power X information (data + documents).</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Without information (data and documents), there is nothing for computational power to act on. And communication becomes noise. (hint hint Twitter and Facebook :)</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Because most data in application bound databases is SQL ready, moving it or accessing it from a Cloud super computer center is easy. Sure, you lose the application processing power, but the raw data can be moved and accessed. Which means that Oracle does not have anywhere near the lock on data that Microsoft has on documents. And you can see that clearly as the Cloud Computing fortunes of each company shows.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Look, no company is going to move to the Cloud without also taking their information with them. No company is going to endure the disruptive cost of ripping out and replacing existing applications and services to move to the Cloud. Especially if it means leaving important information behind.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 2014 Microsoft released Office 365, the Cloud Computing version of the venerable Microsoft Office. The company went from zero to an annual run rate of $22 Billion per year in no time flat. That my friends is the incredible power of being able to make accessible the billions of documents that fuel so many in-process workflows. Companies can now make that great transition.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In this context, one can easily see how important this native document announcement from Google really is. If true, they are back in the chase. It is probably a $60 billion per year and up market potential. For sure, it is ESSENTIAL to any document based Artificial Intelligence services.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 3.2rem; margin-bottom: 3.2rem; margin-top: 3.2rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Let the race begin. I hope this is real.</div>

That's according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.</p>
<p>"Millions of fake comments have corrupted the FCC public process—including two million that stole the identities of real people, a crime under New York law," Schneiderman said in an <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/ag-schneiderman-releases-new-details-investigation-fake-net-neutrality-comments">announcement</a> today. "Yet the FCC is moving full steam ahead with a vote based on this corrupted process, while refusing to cooperate with an investigation."</p></div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><p>Some comments were submitted under the names of dead people.</p>
<p>"My LATE husband's name was fraudulently used after a valiant battle with cancer," one person told the AG's office. "This unlawful act adds to my pain that someone would violate his good name."</p>
<p>Schneiderman set up a <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/fakecomments">website</a> where people can search the FCC comments for their names to determine if they've been impersonated. So far, "over 5,000 people have filed reports with the Attorney General's office regarding identities used to submit fake comments," the AG's announcement said.</p>
<p></p></div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><p>While the 5,000 reports provide anecdotal evidence, the AG's office performed an analysis of the 23 million public comments in order to figure out how many were submitted under falsely assumed identities.</p>
<p>Many comments for and against net neutrality rules are identical because advocacy groups urged people to sign form letters, so the text of a comment alone isn't enough to determine if it was submitted by a real person.</p>
<p>The AG's office thus examined comment text along with other factors, such as whether names matched lists of stolen identities from known data breaches. Schneiderman's office also told Ars that it looked into whether or not the submission of comments was in alphabetical order, one after another, in short time periods. In general, analysis of formatting and metadata played a role in the analysis.</p>
<p>The number of comments believed to be fake has grown as the A.G.'s investigation continues, and it isn't done yet. Schneiderman's office is still analyzing the public comments. We asked Schneiderman's office how many of the fake comments supported net neutrality rules, and how many opposed them, but were told that the information was not available.</p>
<p>While fake comments used names and addresses of people from across the nation, more than "100,000 comments per state" came "from New York, Florida, Texas, and California," Schneiderman's announcement said.</p></div></div></li></ul><li><p class='diigo-link'><a rel='nofollow' href='https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/01/net-neutrality-comment-fraud-will-be-investigated-by-government/'>Net neutrality comment fraud will be investigated by government | Ars Technica</a></p><p class='diigo-tags'><a style='color:#000 !important;text-decoration:none !important;' href='https://groups.diigo.com/cloud/open-web'>Tags</a>: <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/net-neutrality'>net-neutrality</a>, <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/FCC-rulemaking'>FCC-rulemaking</a>, <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/comments'>comments</a>, <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/fraud'>fraud</a>, <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/GAO'>GAO</a>, <a href='https://groups.diigo.com/open-web/bookmark/tag/investigations'>investigations</a></p><ul class='diigo-highlights'><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><p>The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) will investigate the use of impersonation in public comments on the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality repeal.</p>
<p>Congressional Democrats <a href="https://meeks.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-meeks-cummings-and-pallone-lead-request-gao-investigation-fraudulent">requested</a> the investigation last month, and the GAO has granted the request.</p>
<p>While the investigation request was spurred by widespread fraud in the FCC's net neutrality repeal docket, Democrats asked the GAO to also "examine whether this shady practice extends to other agency rulemaking processes." The GAO will do just that, having told Democrats in a <a href="https://twitter.com/EnergyCommerce/status/955929261835202560">letter</a> that it will "review the extent and pervasiveness of fraud and the misuse of American identities during federal rulemaking processes."</p></div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><p>The GAO provides independent, nonpartisan audits and investigations for Congress.</p>
<p>The GAO <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/10/fccs-ddos-claims-will-be-investigated-by-government/">previously agreed</a> to investigate DDoS attacks that allegedly targeted the FCC comment system, also in response to a request by Democratic lawmakers. The Democrats charged that Chairman Ajit Pai's FCC did not provide enough evidence that the attacks actually happened, and they asked the GAO to find out what evidence the FCC used to make its determination.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Commission notes that while the new regulation provides for a single set of rules directly applicable in all Member States, it will still require significant adjustments in certain aspects, like amending existing laws by EU governments or setting up the European Data Protection Board by data protection authorities. The Commission states that the guidance recalls the main innovations, opportunities opened up by the new rules, takes stock of the preparatory work already undertaken and outlines the work still ahead of the European Commission, national data protection authorities and national administrations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Andrus Ansip, European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Single Market, said: <em>“<em>Our digital future can only be built on trust. </em>Everyone’s privacy has to be protected. Strengthened EU data protection rules will become a reality on 25 May. It is a major step forward and we are committed to making it a success for everyone.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vĕra Jourová, Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, added:” <em>In today’s world, the way we handle data will determine to a large extent our economic future and personal safety. We need modern rules to respond to new risks, so we call on EU governments, authorities and businesses to use the remaining time efficiently and fulfil their roles in the preparations for the big day.”</em></p></div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><ul><p style="text-align: justify;">The guidance recalls the main elements of the new data protection rules:</p>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>One set of rules across the continent</strong>, guaranteeing legal certainty for businesses and the same data protection level across the EU for citizens.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Same rules apply to all companies offering services in the EU, </strong>even if these companies are based outside the EU.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stronger and new rights for citizens: </strong>the right to information, access and the right to be forgotten are strengthened. A new right to data portability allows citizens to move their data from one company to the other. This will give companies new business opportunities.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stronger protection against data breaches:</strong> a company experiencing a data breach, which put individuals at risk, has to notify the data protection authority within 72 hours.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Rules with teeth and deterrent fines</strong>: all data protection authorities will have the power to impose fines for up to EUR 20 million or, in the case of a company, 4% of the worldwide annual turnover.</li></ul></ul></div></div></li></ul></ul><br />Posted from <a href='https://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.

<p>Americans most regularly encounter this technology, known as speaker recognition, or speaker identification, when they wake up Amazon’s Alexa or call their bank. But a decade before voice commands like “Hello Siri” and “OK Google” became common household phrases, the NSA was using speaker recognition to monitor terrorists, politicians, drug lords, spies, and even agency employees.</p>
<p>The technology works by analyzing the physical and behavioral features that make each person’s voice distinctive, such as the pitch, shape of the mouth, and length of the larynx. An algorithm then creates a dynamic computer model of the individual’s vocal characteristics. This is what’s popularly referred to as a “voiceprint.” The entire process — capturing a few spoken words, turning those words into a voiceprint, and comparing that representation to other “voiceprints” already stored in the database — can happen almost instantaneously. Although the NSA is known to rely on finger and face prints to identify targets, voiceprints, according to a 2008 agency document, are “where NSA reigns supreme.”</p>
<p>It’s not difficult to see why. By intercepting and recording millions of overseas telephone conversations, video teleconferences, and internet calls — in addition to capturing, with or without warrants, the domestic conversations of Americans — the NSA has built an unrivaled collection of distinct voices. <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/search/Project:%20%22NSA%20Speaker%20Recognition%22">Documents</a> from the Snowden archive reveal that analysts fed some of these recordings to speaker recognition algorithms that could connect individuals to their past utterances, even when they had used unk</div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner">The classified documents, dating from 2004 to 2012, show the NSA refining increasingly sophisticated iterations of its speaker recognition technology.

ISPs have long redlined these demographic groups, creating what’s commonly known as the “digital divide.” Thirty-nine percent of Americans lack access to service fast enough to meet the federal definition of broadband. More than 50 percent of adults with household incomes below $30,000 have home broadband—a problem plaguing users of color most acutely. In contrast, internet access is near-universal for households with an annual income of $100,000 or more.</p>
<p>The reason for such chasms is simple: Private network providers prioritize only those they expect to provide a return on investment, thus excluding poor and sparsely populated areas.</p></div></div></li><li><div class="diigoContent"><div class="diigoContentInner"><p>Chattanooga, Tennessee, has seen more success in addressing redlining. Since 2010, the city has offered public broadband via its municipal power organization, Electric Power Board (EPB). The project has become a rousing success: At half the price, its service is approximately 85 percent faster than that of Comcast, the region’s primary ISP prior to EPB’s inception. Coupled with a discounted program for low-income residents, Chattanooga’s publicly run broadband reaches about 82,000 residents—more than half of the area’s Internet users—and is only expected to grow.</p>
<p>Chattanooga’s achievements have radiated to other locales. More than 450 communities have introduced publicly-owned broadband. And more than 110 communities in 24 states have access to publicly owned networks with one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service. (AT&T, for example, has yet to introduce speeds this high.) Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant proposed a pilot project in 2015 and has recently urged her city to invest in municipal broadband. Hawaii congressperson Kaniela Ing is drafting a bill for publicly-owned Internet for the state legislature to consider next year. In November, residents of Fort Collins, Colo. voted to authorize the city to build municipal broadband infrastructure.</p></div></div></li></ul></ul><br />Posted from <a href='https://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.

<p>This was one of the ways in which Comcast argued that the Federal Communications Commission should not reclassify broadband providers as common carriers, a designation that forces ISPs to <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/07/how-title-ii-goes-beyond-net-neutrality-to-protect-internet-users-from-isps/">treat customers fairly in other ways</a>.
