Política de privacidades do Google

Inspirado pelo título do livro tema dos posts anteriores gostaria de chamar a atenção para a política de privacidades do Google que sofreu alteração na semana retrasada.
Um ótimo artigo que trata de algumas alternativas ao Google encontra-se disponível em http://espacoliberdade.blog.br/blog/web/privacidade-estamos-prontos-para-abandonar-o-google/

Freedom's Battle - Parte 03/03

A seguir compartilho a terceira e última parte de "Freedom's Battle" de Mohandas K. Gandhi que me chamou a atenção.

I have suggested yet another difficulty--to withdraw our children from the Government schools and to ask collegiate students to withdraw from the College and to empty Government aided schools. How could I do otherwise? I want to gauge the national sentiment. I want to know whether the Mahomodans feel deeply. If they feel deeply they will understand in the twinkling of an eye, that it is not right for them to receive schooling from a Government in which they have lost all faith; and which they do not trust at all. How can I, if I do not want to help this Government, receive any help from that Government. I think that the schools and colleges are factories for making clerks and Government servants. I would not help this great factory for manufacturing clerks and servants if I want to withdraw co-operation from that Government. Look at it from any point of view you like. It is not possible for you to send your children to the schools and still believe in the doctrine of non-co-operation.

Freedom's Battle - Parte 02/03

A seguir compartilho a segunda parte de "Freedom's Battle" de Mohandas K. Gandhi que me chamou a atenção.

Do people become enemies because they change their religion? Is the God of the Mahomedan different form the God of the Hindu? Religions are different roads coverging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads, so long as we reach the same goal?

Freedom's Battle - Parte 01/03

Já a algum tempo lí "An Autobiography or The Story of my Experiments with Truth" de Mohandas K. Gandhi e mais recentemente estive lendo "Freedom's Battle" também do senhor Gandhi.
Durante minha leitura de "Freedom's Battle" três passagens me chamaram a atenção. A primeira compartilho a seguir e as demais nos próximos dias.

India cannot cease to be one nation because people belonging to different religions live in it. The introduction of foreigners does not necessarily destroy the nation, they merge in it. A country is one nation only when such a condition obtains in it. That country must have a faculty for assimilation. India has ever been such country. In reality, there are as many religions as there are individuals, but those who are conscious of the spirit of nationality do not interfere with one another's religion. If they do, they are not fit to be considered a nation. If the Hindus believe that India should be peopled only by Hindus, ehty are living in dreamland. The Hindus, the Mahomedans, the Parsees and the Christians who have made India their country are fellow contrymen, and they will have to live in unity if only for their own interest. In no part of the world are one nationality and one religion synonymous terms: nor has it ever been so in India.

A Lógica do Capital-Informação

Um livro que li nas férias foi "A Lógica do Capital-Informação" de Marcos Dantas. (Um longo resumo foi escrito por Matheus Gonçalves de Castro e encontra-se disponível em http://nuccufrgs.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/ficha-de-leitura-do-livro-a-logica-do-capital-informacao-de-marcos-dantas/.)
Com essa leitura é possível entender a atual situação do Brasil no que se refere a infra-estrutura de telecuminicações.
