Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky had this to say about the updates:
“The tremendous response we received from Kickstarter backers validated our belief in the value of a smart watch as a wearable computer, but also in the value an open platform brings to truly personalizing the watch to their daily activities”, said Eric Migicovsky, Pebble’s founder. “This new investment will help us build out the Pebble development ecosystem and deliver on Pebble’s extraordinary potential.... read the full post.

Excerpt: We are humbled to see that the White House drafted and released the official Open Data Policy of the United States on GitHub! The Presidential Memorandum calls for the creation of the aptly named Project Open Data, with the goal of making government data "available, discoverable, and usable – in a word, open". Today's news marks the first time a government entity has published law as a living, collaborative document. We're excited to see how the Open Data Policy evolves with the input of the community, and we hope this is just the first of many.... read the full post.

on 05/11/2013
Excerpt: An API – application programming interface – at its most basic level, allows your product or service to talk to other products or services. In this way, an API allows you to open up data and functionality to other developers and to other businesses. It is increasingly the way in which agencies and companies exchange data and services, both internally and externally. What are APIs used for? APIs are launched primarily to give partners that are outside the agency or company “firewall” access to data and resources. But recently, APIs are also being used by more and more of the general public, including non-developers.... read the full post.

on 05/10/2013
Excerpt: Illustration: National Institutes of Health
The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U. S. , in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national identification system. Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (. pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID.... read the full post.

Excerpt: A little more than a month ago, the Open Compute Project celebrated its two-year anniversary. When Facebook first launched the project, it was our hope that we could spark more conversation and more collaboration around the development of efficient data center technologies. The OCP community has since grown to 50+ official members and thousands of participants; we’ve launched a foundation to guide the project; and we’ve started to advance open designs for everything from racks and storage boxes to motherboards and interconnects. This is amazing progress in such a short span. But something’s missing.... read the full post.

Excerpt: These emails were sent from strange, outside addresses, and they were sent to few enough employees to appear as just random noise rather than a targeted attack. At least one Onion employee fell for this phase of the phishing attack. Once the attackers had access to one Onion employee’s account, they used that account to send the same email to more Onion staff at about 2:30 AM on Monday, May 6. Coming from a trusted address, many staff members clicked the link, but most refrained from entering their login credentials.

Excerpt: Stingrays can be used to generate false cell tower signals as a way to find a phone's location. Jose Oller
In a criminal case on Wednesday, a federal judge denied (PDF) a motion to suppress evidence gathered with the help of a stingray—a device that can create a false cellphone tower signal. The use of a stingray allows authorities to determine a specific mobile phone’s precise location. The technology isn't new and many believe law enforcement agencies nationwide have used them for many years. In March 2013, we reported on an amicus brief filed in this case by the American Civil Liberties Union.... read the full post.

Excerpt: For PivotDesk, working hand-in-hand with Foursquare makes perfect sense. We are an inherently location-based service, and integrating with Foursquare allows us to bring a wide range of benefits to our customers. Foursquare’s mobile app is especially enticing for us because we have focused on our desktop application and do not have a perfect mobile experience. The first idea that came to mind was to utilize the new Foursquare pages feature, so we created a Foursquare PivotDesk page. On our Foursquare page, we wanted to show off all of our amazing hosts. Each host is listed on Foursquare as what they call a Venue, which just means it’s a location that anyone can check into using the Foursquare app.... read the full post.
