Most of this is from a post I popped in Sunday night.
Somehow, I think this matters right now and will pop up from the whack-a-mole game board in the future to bite everyone…… Then again, it all may be nothing.

Interpol’s boss is a gent named Ronald K. Noble and right about now he’s got a bug on his back about cyber crime.
Part of that bug is buzzing because Mr. Noble had his ID compromised and phony FaceBook pages were set up in his name. Now, there’s a big meeting about ‘cyber crime’.
Don’t know Mr. Noble ?….. I actually think you do…….. Here’s something from Lloyd Bentsen (Sec. Treas. under Pres. Bill Clinton) on Mr. Noble’s past experience: Assistant Secretary for Enforcement Ronald K. Noble has conducted a comprehensive review of the adequacy of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms’ (”ATF’s”) procedures, policies, and practices, and whether they were followed during ATF’s investigation of Vernon Howell, a/k/a “David Koresh,” and his followers.
A background and other stuff on Mr. Noble is at Wiki……. take anything at Wiki as you may, but it all seems to be sourced proper-like……… Mr. Ronald K. Noble, Secretary General Of Interpol.
================
My two (and a half) cents: Looks like the recent exec order ‘change’ giving Interpol open access to America is starting to come into a bit more focus now.
Given the current governmental attitude for giving a ‘nudge’ to and sidestepping all things legal and Constitutional, my guess is (begin snark) none of the following is even remotely possible (end snark). However, inquiring minds want to know……..
Approximately when was Mr. Noble’s ID compromised and those Facebook pages run up ?
If the deeds were done after the exec order……. Hmmmmmmm.
If the deeds were before the exec order, life is beautiful - for about two minutes……….
That’s because, with all that’s going and the true Statist/Totalitarian power grab involving ‘net neutrality’, (to use the legal term) is it “beyond a reasonable doubt” this is not some sort of a setup ?………. Meaning that it’s within the realm of possibility that Mr. Noble’s ID was ‘put out there’ and the ‘unauthorized’ Facebook pages set in as just one more reason to force in ‘net neutrality’ and maybe more dire, for Interpol to actually begin operating here - not just being ok’d on paper to do so by exec order.
Think about it - really think - try and lose the ‘it can’t happen here’ idea……….. Let the extrapolations begin as to what truly is possible in the current socio-political scene through technology…… legally or otherwise.
To people like Cass Sunstein, Eric Holder, Harold Koh and our current president - plus orgs like ICR2P, The UN and others - there isn’t much more dangerous of an ‘international crime’ than published simple dissent that instantly goes world-wide.
Thanks for your time.
……. and Neil……. Thank you again for keeping Tech at Night going……. We’re entering some seriously dangerous territory for individual Rights and overall freedom….. with many more than just the average person completely unaware of it all.
PS…….. I’d give a nice donation to some Minnesota children’s charity to see Senator Franken perp-walked out of the Dirksen Building, or even better still……. from his home at 3am in a rain storm.
If Apple gets its way, the next big wave of content to hit iTunes might be magazine and newspaper subscriptions.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is trying to convince publishers to offer newspaper and magazine subscriptions for the iPad through Apple’s own portal.
However, magazines have been limited to single issue sales. Some apps notify a user when a new issue is available, but at $4 or $5 an issue, most users are unlikely to forego a print or online subscription for iPad content.
The big holdup with bringing subscriptions to the iPad has reportedly revolved around user data and, of course, money. Publishers often use their subscriber database to better target customers and to entice advertisers. Apple reportedly doesn’t want to give publishers such easy access to customer information.
Additionally, Apple would likely want to take a 30% revenue cut off any subscriptions sold within iTunes, the same as it does for apps, music, books and video files now.
Both of these points are contentious with publishers, who have acquiesced by selling issues individually or are trying to either build apps that are really just portals to subscriber-only websites (à la The Wall Street Journal) or apps like Zinio that are PDF portals of sorts on their own.
Of course, the big promise with the iPad has been that it is an opportunity for publishers to redefine magazine or newspaper content by making it more engaging and interactive rather than just being a facsimile of the print edition.
Publishers who are looking at ways to combat declining print sales may be able to use Apple’s 160-million strong iTunes customer base to help boost sales. That might be worth a trade-off of control and profit.
For Apple, having unique arrangements with publishers to offer compelling subscription content that is auto-delivered to iOS devices could be a big differentiating factor between the iPad and future competing devices.
Apple’s foray into the world of e-books remains small, especially when compared to market giant Amazon.com
We’ve reached out to several publishers for comment on this story and have not heard back. We’ll keep following this story for future developments.
In the meantime, let us know what you think of iPad-tailored subscriptions for newspapers and magazines. Do you currently read print publications? Would you be more or less likely to subscribe to a tablet-friendly digital version?
