Internet connaît tout de notre vie privée. Nos goûts, nos déplacements, nos fantasmes. Nous le savions, mais nous ne l'avions jamais perçu avec une telle acuité. A partir de cette semaine, Arte nous en apporte les preuves tangibles, avec un documentaire interactif au concept vertigineux : en face de nous, derrière l'écran, les journalistes Vincent Glad et Zineb Dryef nous aident à traquer nos propres données personnelles, ces traces que nous avons malgré nous abandonnées ici et là sur la Toile.

On le sait, sur Internet les données privées sont très prisées. La série documentaire “Do not track”, coproduite par Arte, a cherché à en savoir plus sur les mouchards du Web, en observant nos habitudes. A découvrir en ligne.

Alors pour devenir des citoyens avertis, rendez-vous toutes affaires cessantes sur la plateforme « Do Not Track », non sans avoir autorisé les cookies à vous suivre, tout de même...

While browsing through my file archives some years ago, I ran across a few folders of locally cached web pages. Browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer saved these files in order to speed up load times upon future visits to the same sites. Browsers today do the same thing, but the functionality was far more vital in the days of sluggish dial-up modem connections.

HAVANA (AP) -- Cut off from the Internet, young Cubans have quietly linked thousands of computers into a hidden network that stretches miles across Havana, letting them chat with friends, play games and download hit movies in a mini-replica of the online world that most can't access.

Internet Live Stats is part of the Real Time Statistics Project (Worldometers and 7 Billion World). We are an international team of developers, researchers, and analysts with the goal of making statistics available in a dynamic and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world.

Stay focused!

Oui, c’est une évidence que la consommation linéaire va être bouleversée. Que la consultation de programmes à la demande vient et viendra occuper toujours plus de temps de consommation. Cela signifie-t-il pour autant que les chaînes de télévision perdront leur savoir-faire dans la fabrication de programmes et dans leur relation à leur public ? La réponse dépendra de leur capacité à entreprendre. La télévision s'est déjà largement engagée dans la révolution Internet et il y a désormais, dans les chaînes, beaucoup de gens très compétents pour accompagner ce changement. Les producteurs, eux aussi, commencent à comprendre les immenses avantages de cette révolution dans la distribution des contenus. Il s’agit désormais de ne plus seulement réagir, mais de s’engager dans une vraie prise de risque créative. Le lien qu'établit Internet avec le public est une opportunité extraordinaire, notamment pour le service public, dont l'audience demande à participer toujours plus. L’expérience documentaire interactive Génération quoi ? (France Télévisions/Yami 2/Upian) le montre bien : plus de 235 000 personnes ont répondu à 23 000 000 questions, pour former un autoportrait de la jeunesse complexe et signifiant. Un miroir de la société, une récit multi-supports, un programme difficile à définir. Ça c’est de la télévision et ça ne risque pas de disparaître ! Maintenant, est-ce que Netflix sera toujours là dans vingt ans ? Perso, j'en doute. »

The National Security Agency is secretly piggybacking on the tools that enable Internet advertisers to track consumers, using "cookies" and location data to pinpoint targets for government hacking and to bolster surveillance.

Because of governance issues (and the international implications of the NSA reveals), data sharing will get geographically fragmented in challenging ways. The next few years are going to be about control. — DANAH BOYD

The Supreme Court threw Stephen Harper and Company a curve this week when Justice Thomas Cromwell and the court issued a strong endorsement of Internet privacy, emphasizing the privacy importance of subscriber information, the right to anonymity, and the need for police to obtain a warrant for subscriber information

Dans le prolongement de la remise au président ce jour, du rapport Nora intitulé "L'informatisation de la société ou la télématique" (rapport écrit par Simon NORA et Alain MINC), ce reportage est consacré à la télématique (informatique et telecommunication) et ses différentes implications. Explication de François de Closets sur des animations et des images d'illustration : évocation de la communication à distance via des satellites et de la fusion de plusieurs techniques via un seul et unique réseau. Ce rapport évoque également les problèmes inhérents à ces changements : l'emploi, la centralisation des informations, l'autonomie individuelle.

Either this dude has no idea how group messages on iPhones work or he genuinely didn’t care that 32 of his Tinder girls were going to see that he sent the same message to each of them. For his sake, I hope it’s the first one. “Joshua” must have been incredibly lazy that day because it appears he sent a mass text to every female he right-swiped. I mean, maybe he was just bored and looking for some innocent companionship, but — no, I really can’t justify this guy if I tried. This is just weird.

For one week, while Henn researched a story, he allowed himself to be watched—acting as a stand-in, in effect, for everyone who uses Internet-connected devices. How much of our lives do we really reveal simply by going online?

"Despite the ruling, one cannot overstate how irrational this case was to begin with. It’s hard to believe the question at stake was whether browsing the Internet is legal or not," said Jakob Kucharczyk, the Brussels director for the Computer & Communications Industry Association.

The Internet in Real-Time How Quickly Data is Generated

News is bad for your health. It leads to fear and aggression, and hinders your creativity and ability to think deeply. The solution? Stop consuming it altogether

On a warm night in New York last week, advertisers and content producers huddled together into a huge white tent beside the Metropolitan Opera House to watch Yahoo unveil its first TV-length original web series. Purple lights and plastic champagne flutes were everywhere, and everyone in attendance seemed to know that Yahoo's event on Monday, along with about a dozen others that would occur that week, was part of the start of something huge. Yahoo was there to cap off the first night of the annual NewFronts, a series of casually linked events where new media companies attempt to woo advertisers and producers with their platforms and shows — and critically, do so just weeks before traditional TV networks host similar events of their own.

How do you speak to a group of extremely passionate people? What kind of design would speak to them? When Joshua Topolsky approached us about creating three different layouts in the style of three mobile UI’s we were initially torn. Something about mimicking the UI of phones didn’t feel original. But more importantly, it presented a problem of presentation. There was an inherent a UX problem to solve: do you offer presentation options or do you trick the user? We decided to troll.

In the future, Netflix will know exactly what you want to watch, even before you do. You won’t have to spend all that time browsing through endless lists of shows on your television.

Selon l'éditeur du site d'information économique Quartz, cité dans le rapport, il vaudrait mieux "chercher à rassembler des outils qui permettent de créer des Snow Falls tous les jours". Sont cités en exemple les quizz de Buzzfeed, format récurrent très viral quitte à devenir trop systématique.

If you're the customer of a major American internet provider, you might have been noticing it's not very reliable lately. If so, there's a pretty good chance that a graph like this is the reason:

Facebook stalking in real life.

An encryption flaw called the Heartbleed bug is already being called one of the biggest security threats the Internet has ever seen. The bug has affected many popular websites and services — ones you might use every day, like Gmail and Facebook — and could have quietly exposed your sensitive account information (such as passwords and credit card numbers) over the past two years.
