| + | |||
| + | <html>SAN JOSE, Calif. A federal appeals court said Google wrongly collected people's personal correspondence and online activities through their Wi-Fi systems as it drove down their streets with car cameras shooting photos for its Street View mapping project.The ruling that the practice violates wiretap laws sends a warning to other companies seeking to suck up vast amounts of data from unencrypted Wi-Fi signals."The payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks that was captured by Google included emails, usernames, passwords, images,[http://performancesix.com/blog/ Yale University And The Great Squirrel Genocide Of 2013], and documents," wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco in a report released TuesdayGoogle had argued that their activities were exempt from the wiretap law because data transmitted over a Wi-Fi network is a "radio communication" and is "readily accessible to the public."Not so, wrote the judges,[http://www.taojj.org/home.php?mod=space&uid=10401&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=442117 Md. Sheriff- Woman Texting When Car Went Into Lake], agreeing with an earlier federal judge's ruling."Even if it is commonplace for members of the general public to connect to a neighbor's unencrypted Wi-Fi network, members of the general public do not typically mistakenly intercept, store,[http://lag.coeurlumiere.com/index.php/topic,133419.msg222164.html#msg222164 USA Beats Mexico 2], and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network," they said.Google's Street View cars can be spotted with pole mounted cameras on their roofs, photographing along roadways the world over. The photos then show up on Google's popular Street View map option, where viewers can virtually scroll along a street past homes, cars and shops, all captured in photographs.But unbeknownst to passers-by, those cameras weren't just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through.Privacy experts and industry watchers said this was the first time an appeals court has ruled that it's illegal for a company to sniff out and collect private information from the Wi-Fi networks that provide Internet service to people at home. Google is also the first publically known company to try."This appeals court decision is a tremendous victory for privacy rights. It means Google can't suck up private communications from people's Wi-Fi networks and claim their Wi-Spying was exempt from federal wiretap laws," said John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog's privacy project director. "Because Google's Wi-Spy activity was so extensive, the potential damages could amount to billions of dollars."Marc Rotenberg,[http://lichen1985.com/blog/ Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys Free Pick 9-15-13- Mark's Free NFL Football Pick Against the Spread], executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it "a landmark decision for Internet privacy.""The court made clear that the federal privacy law applies to residential Wi-Fi networks," he said. "Users should be protected when a company tries to capture data that travels between their laptop and their printer in their home."A Google spokesperson said Tuesday that attorneys for the Internet giant are "disappointed in the 9th Circuit's decision and are considering our next steps."Attorney Elizabeth Cabraser, representing a class action of plaintiffs who say their privacy was invaded by Google said Tuesday they look forward to resuming their case now that a federal appeals court has ruled in their favor.Google has apologized for the snooping, which it says took place between 2008 and March 2010. It promised to stop collecting the data and said the practice, conducted in more than 30 countries, was inadvertent but not illegal.Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorney generals sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection.The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told conference goers the firm had made a mistake."In short, let me just say that we screwed up," he said at the time.Google says it has disabled the equipment that was collecting the data,[http://af.gsnote.org/Gebruiker:Rovahomoimi#The_art_of_customer_development-_Why_you_need_to_get_out_of The art of customer development- Why you need to get out of], and agreed to destroy the information as soon as possible. The company is currently obliged to hold it, unused, because of ongoing litigation.</html> | ||

| + | <html>Cal Worthington, a legendary car salesman who rose from poverty to own more than two dozen auto dealerships in the western United States with a folksy grin, a catchy jingle and ubiquitous TV ads featuring his dog Spot, died Sunday. He was 92.The cause of death was unknown. Worthington, who was in excellent health and worked out regularly, died unexpectedly at his Orland home while watching football on TV with his family, said his lawyer Larry Miles.An Oklahoma native raised in the Dust Bowl, Worthington was a self-made multimillionaire who built his fortune as a pioneer and leader in two industries that excited the American imagination after World War II automobiles and advertising. His homespun manner and flamboyant TV commercials elevated him from businessman to pop culture icon.A World War II hero, he started selling used cars on a patch of dirt outside a post office in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1946. He made his way to Los Angeles and bought a Hudson dealership in 1950 as television was gaining popularity in American homes. He started advertising on a live, three-hour country music show that he hosted, and he ran ads during movies that he bought and aired on weekends, when whole afternoons of TV time could be purchased for a few hundred dollars.He competed on the airwaves against other colorful Southern California auto dealers, including Earl Madman Muntz, Fletcher Jones and Ralph Williams, who featured winsome dogs and puppies in their ads. Advised to add an animal to his own TV pitches, Worthington created his trademark TV commercial with a twist in 1971. When I was doing one of the country music shows, there was an old boy who had a gorilla, and he was after me to put him on TV, he told The Bee in 1997. Anyway, I asked him if we could use the gorilla in a Worthington Dodge (commercial). And I asked him if the gorilla was gentle, you know. He said, Aw hell, Cal, he s a good gorilla. That gorilla was the meanest S.O.B. I ve ever seen, Worthington recalled. He wasn t sedated, and we had to chain him to a bumper. So I m coming on live doing this commercial, and that gorilla is back there raising hell. I m saying this gorilla is just full of love and he doesn t eat much. People were laughing and that gorilla was roaring. That was the first time I ever did the dog Spot thing. The lead-in Here s Cal Worthington and his dog Spot became a byword in TV marketing. The over-the-top ads,[http://rpmgr.com/ Video- Protests heat up again in Turkey], featuring Worthington with a tiger, a camel, a frog, a hippo,[http://bryansk24.ru/photo/18342/56526 Never Forget- The Flight 93 National Memorial], a chicken, a cougar and creatures of almost every species anything but a dog made him a folk star.The clincher was a bouncy, corny jingle If you need a better car, go see Cal / For the best deal by far, go see Cal that burrowed deeply into the psyche of car shoppers and made his brand well known to Sacramento residents before he opened his first dealership in the capital in 1981. He created his own advertising agency, Spot Advertising, that produced and aired his TV pitches tens of thousands of times a year in local markets. He changed the landscape of auto advertising, said Doug Brauner, who hosts an automotive TV show and owns the Car Czar service centers in Sacramento. Nobody today doesn t think about Cal Worthington and the success he had when doing their marketing plan. Worthington went on to own a total of more than 23 auto dealerships in five western states from California to Alaska. He told The Bee in 1997 that he had 13 dealerships earning about $325 million in annual sales at the peak of his company in the late 1980s.He began downsizing in the 1990s and sold his last dealership in the Sacramento region, Folsom Imports-Mazda, in 2006. At his death, he owned a Ford dealership in Long Beach and Ford and Mercedes stores in Anchorage, Alaska, Miles said.In 1972, Worthington bought 24,000 acres in Orland and moved permanently to the Glenn County town in 1976. His ranch, the Big W, grows thousands of acres of olives that are pressed into extra-virgin olive oil and almond trees that produce millions of pounds annually for sale domestically and in India, China,[http://jiangcai.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=1660304 Obama Conditionally Backs Offer On Syria CBS Baltimore], Germany, Italy and Spain. A pilot for more than 70 years, he flew his own Lear jet from his home to check on his business dealings, including land holdings he acquired in California, Nevada and Idaho.Calvin Coolidge Worthington was born Nov. 27,[http://casebriefbank.com/ LeBron James Not Sure Where He’ll End Up In 2014], 1920, in Shidler, Okla. The seventh of nine children in a family that he described as Grapes of Wrath poor, he left school to work at 13 as a water boy for a road crew.He joined the Army Air Corps in World War II and was an intrepid bomber pilot on 29 missions over Europe. He earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and five Air Medals for bravery and service as lead pilot in some of the first American attacks on Berlin.Worthington returned home to Texas with plans to be an airline pilot but was rejected despite his military record for lack of a college education. He bought and worked at a small gas station in Corpus Christi but sold it after a few months to start an auto dealership.He bought and fixed up a couple of used cars and placed them in front of the post office, which drew a lot of foot traffic. He sold the vehicles, bought two more and obtained others on consignment, and discovered his calling. People liked me, he told The Bee in May. I wasn t pushy. I answered their questions. All I knew was I could really sell cars. Worthington moved and hit it big in Southern California, the car culture capital of postwar America. His lanky, 6-foot-4 frame topped with a tipped Stetson and ear-to-ear grin made him instantly recognizable on TV. His genuine, down-to-earth manner charmed viewers and won him a loyal customer following. Cal Worthington was a legendary guy who just happened to pick the car business to go into, said Rick Niello of the Sacramento-based Niello auto dealerships. And he was a humble guy,[http://wiki.postdove.org.195-42-120-209.smartconfig.net/index.php?title=Benutzer:Rovahomoimi#Sammy_Sosa_Has_The_Best_Pinterest_Page_Ever Sammy Sosa Has The Best Pinterest Page Ever], not the character you saw on TV, Niello added. He was very highly respected in our industry. Worthington, who was married and divorced several times, is survived by six children, Rod, Barbara, Calvin, Courtney, Susan, and Coldren; and nine grandchildren.The family is planning services, Miles said.Editors note: This story was changed to reflect that Cal Worthington began selling cars in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1946. | ||
