After the file is successfully and completely downloaded by a given peer, the peer is able to shift roles and become an additional seed, helping the remaining peers to receive the entire file. This eventual shift from peers to seeders determines the overall ‘health’ of the file (as determined by the number of times a file is available in its complete form).

There is still little known about building the healthy skepticism needed by students while reading online information. Because of the reliance of students to use the Internet to find information it is even more paramount to their success as online readers to be able to evaluate the validity and reliability of websites

What is a verified account?To prevent identity confusion, Twitter is experimenting (beta testing) with a ‘Verified Account’ feature. We’re working to establish authenticity with people who deal with impersonation or identity confusion on a regular basis. Accounts with a Verified are the real thing!

The schedule suggests that regular PILOTS will be integrated after spring 2008. If the TEST PILOTS’ integration into MISSION ETERNITY succeeds, a nomination committee consisting of etoy.AGENTS, ADVISORS, and ANGELS will scan, shortlist, and select exceptional individuals as PILOTS to encapsulate.

Crossing the Deadline – MISSION ETERNITY / PILOTS

etoy does not offer encapsulation services to the public because the process is artistically intense, still expensive, and requires the participation of trained etoy.AGENTS (engineers, designers, photographers and musicians). The operation is focused on very high quality and maximum care/innovation. So far only 2 TEST PILOTS are in the pipeline and 2 further candidates are being evaluation.

The primary goal for the ANGEL APPLICATION has been to provide easy to use redundant storage. This goal is within reach. However, it should be noted that the current implementation may be seen as the first step towards a distributed, scalable, transparently accessible (i.e. full support for native file system semantics) data storage and distribution system. The decoupling from the underlying hardware introduced with the ANGEL APPLICATION implies that in principle unlimited amounts of data can be stored and retrieved from the system without any a priori bandwith limitation (it is similar to bittorrent in this regard, i.e. limited by the number of participants, rather than the hardware infrastructure of any individual participant). It is therefore extremely well suited as an infrastructure for tasks such as open content archival and analysis (e.g. a community-operated search engine). We are currently actively soliciting support (from developers and potential investors) to further investigate these opportunities.

Mobile technology, virtualization, the social web, cloud computing – a think tank study has all our good friends on a hit list.The study, which shows primary security and privacy concerns of U.S. government IT leaders, is making the rounds among military and government bloggers. Policy makers are being told that the applications we know and love are dangerous and pose gaping security loopholes for cyberterrorism. Is a Big Brother overprotective meltdown? Or are our advances really causing greater risks for all users?
