It seems that every other piece of data about us is for sale. Why not through every little secret our smartphones know about us into the mix? Once, only hairdressers and bartenders knew people’s secrets. Now, smartphones know everything — where people go, what they search for, what they buy, what th

When signing up to a VPN provider many users hope that they can use those services in complete privacy, free from the prying eyes of their ISP, aggressive governments and commercially motivated corpora

Other than some lukewarm success for some companies (some of which changed their business model in order to succeed), the overall revolution failed. “We’re starting a new magazine,” t
If there’s a buzzword in the marketing and advertising world for 2013, it’s “big data”. Okay, it’s two words, but that’s not important. What is important is that the hot trend isn’t delivering on the promise. Every day there is a new post about the impact of
