Michael(tm) Smith » On privacy protection in Web applications and browser APIs
I feel a lot of anger and frustration in this list.
Some of the items seem fine to me. I would not have written them like this ;). I disagree strongly with the last one, not because of the rationale but the form. It’s an unproven affirmation. There will be cases where it will be indeed the case and some not. :)
About geolocation privacy, the issue has hit the fan already ;) Advertising the user’s location is one way to make aware the user (or users in developping countries) of a mobile device. Blocking access to the location is *not always* a solution either. Sometimes the solution will be in how long the data can be kept, sometimes the solution will be in how the data will be used.
Repeat after me 1000 times: It is not a privacy issue, but a lack (or very thin) opacity issue. The network makes the access to information very quick and easy. There’s no need or no use to block it. There is need to be able to slow down the stream at will.

Lecture 6 : Radiation, Energy Transport and Opacity
This quantity is defined in terms of the mean free path of a photon ln, or the average distance a photon travels along the beam between interactions with the matter.
opacity - Space and Astronomy Definition - Online Dictionary and Glossary Definition of opacity
Definition: opacity: A property of matter that prevents light from passing through it. The opacity or opaqueness of something depends on the frequency of the light. For instance, the atmosphere of Venus is transparent to ultraviolet light, but is opaque to visible light.
Opacity (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light. In radiative transfer, it describes the absorption and scattering of radiation in a medium, such as a plasma, dielectric, shielding material, glass, etc.
