A US judge on 16 August, 2006, halted the warrantless wiretapping program by the NSA and ruled that US President George W. Bush overstepped his authority when authorizing the unconstitutional program. Federal Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered a permanent injuction barring the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which has been used to monitor millions of US citizens. \"It was never the intent of the (Constitutional) framers to give the President such unfettered control, particularly when his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights,\" Taylor wrote in a 43-page opinion.

(Tim Boyle/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Talk about a stealth operation. About a month ago, Google changed its search algorithm. It was done so quietly, and so smoothly, that no one detected anything new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the move represents a big change in search — akin to replacing the engine of a 1950s car, \u003ca href=\"http://searchengineland.com/google-hummingbird-172816\">said Danny Sullivan\u003c/a> of industry blog \u003ca href=\"https://www.searchengineland.com\">Search Engine Land\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fair to say the general public seemed not to have noticed that Google ripped out its engine while driving down the road and replaced it with something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2013/09/fifteen-years-onand-were-just-getting.html#uds-search-results\">Google\u003c/a> said it made the change because users are asking longer and more complex questions and are searching more often on mobile phones with voice search. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> 'Google ripped out its engine while driving down the road and replaced it with something else.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The new algorithm is called Hummingbird, because it's precise and fast, says Google. Previously — since 1998, as Google just celebrated its 15th birthday — the search giant matched keywords in a query to the same words on Web pages. Hummingbird represents a shift to understanding the meaning of phrases in a query, and shows Web pages that more accurately match that meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan's FAQ spells out many of the details of Hummingbird's capabilities. Among them:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In particular, Google said that Hummingbird is paying more attention to each word in a query, ensuring that the whole query — the whole sentence or conversation or meaning — is taken into account, rather than particular words. The goal is that pages matching the meaning do better, rather than pages matching just a few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does this mean SEO is dead?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, SEO is not yet again dead. In fact, Google’s saying there’s nothing new or different SEOs or publishers need to worry about. Guidance remains the same, it says: Have original, high-quality content. Signals that have been important in the past remain important; Hummingbird just allows Google to process them in new and hopefully better ways.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's next? At the Google 15-year celebration, Amit Singhal, senior VP for search, \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthof/2013/09/26/google-just-revamped-search-to-handle-your-long-questions/\">said \u003c/a>Google will keep reinventing itself to give you a simple, more intuitive experience. At some point, a Google search will answer your questions, have a conversation in a natural way, and even anticipate what you might want to know.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Tim Boyle/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Talk about a stealth operation. About a month ago, Google changed its search algorithm. It was done so quietly, and so smoothly, that no one detected anything new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the move represents a big change in search — akin to replacing the engine of a 1950s car, \u003ca href=\"http://searchengineland.com/google-hummingbird-172816\">said Danny Sullivan\u003c/a> of industry blog \u003ca href=\"https://www.searchengineland.com\">Search Engine Land\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fair to say the general public seemed not to have noticed that Google ripped out its engine while driving down the road and replaced it with something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2013/09/fifteen-years-onand-were-just-getting.html#uds-search-results\">Google\u003c/a> said it made the change because users are asking longer and more complex questions and are searching more often on mobile phones with voice search. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> 'Google ripped out its engine while driving down the road and replaced it with something else.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The new algorithm is called Hummingbird, because it's precise and fast, says Google. Previously — since 1998, as Google just celebrated its 15th birthday — the search giant matched keywords in a query to the same words on Web pages. Hummingbird represents a shift to understanding the meaning of phrases in a query, and shows Web pages that more accurately match that meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The goal is that pages matching the meaning do better, rather than pages matching just a few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does this mean SEO is dead?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, SEO is not yet again dead. In fact, Google’s saying there’s nothing new or different SEOs or publishers need to worry about. Guidance remains the same, it says: Have original, high-quality content. Signals that have been important in the past remain important; Hummingbird just allows Google to process them in new and hopefully better ways.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's next?

The suit alleges Google broke the law when it collected data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks as part of its \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View\" target=\"_blank\">Street View \u003c/a>project. Street View uses specially equipped vehicles — they carry a tall ungainly 360-degree camera on the roof — to capture on-the-ground images of thoroughfares. Among other things, the images are used to complement views in Google Maps and Google Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Street View electronics are also capable of capturing information other than images. The devices also have the capacity to \"sniff\" data from unsecured wireless routers -- information the company can use to augment its location and mapping services. The company has faced complaints in several countries after privacy officials found it was grabbing bits of personal data from unsecured networks. Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/googles-wifi-wiretapping/\" target=\"_blank\">Wired's summary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Google said it didn’t realize it was sniffing packets of data on unsecured Wi-Fi networks in about a dozen countries over a three-year period until German privacy authorities began questioning in 2010 what data Google’s Street View cars were collecting. Google, along with other companies, uses databases of Wi-Fi networks and their locations to augment or replace GPS when attempting to figure out the location of a computer or mobile device. Google had claimed the lawsuit was “without merit,” but has abandoned the practice of payload sniffing from open networks.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The net effect of Tuesday's ruling: The wiretapping lawsuit can proceed in U.S. District Court in San Jose. Google says it's \"disappointed\" with the ruling.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the case and yesterday's ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTHA MENDOZA\u003cbr>\nAP National Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal appeals court said Tuesday that 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks that was captured by Google included emails, usernames, passwords, images, and documents,\" wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco in a report released Tuesday\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google had argued that its 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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not so, wrote the judges, agreeing with an earlier federal judge's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"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 and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network,\" they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unbeknown to passers-by, those cameras weren't just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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 publicly known company to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it \"a landmark decision for Internet privacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorneys general sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told conference-goers that the firm had made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In short, let me just say that we screwed up,\" he said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google says it has disabled the equipment that was collecting the data, and agreed to destroy the information as soon as possible. The company is currently obliged to hold it, unused, because of ongoing litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The suit alleges Google broke the law when it collected data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks as part of its \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View\" target=\"_blank\">Street View \u003c/a>project. Street View uses specially equipped vehicles — they carry a tall ungainly 360-degree camera on the roof — to capture on-the-ground images of thoroughfares. Among other things, the images are used to complement views in Google Maps and Google Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Street View electronics are also capable of capturing information other than images. The devices also have the capacity to \"sniff\" data from unsecured wireless routers -- information the company can use to augment its location and mapping services. The company has faced complaints in several countries after privacy officials found it was grabbing bits of personal data from unsecured networks. Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/googles-wifi-wiretapping/\" target=\"_blank\">Wired's summary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Google said it didn’t realize it was sniffing packets of data on unsecured Wi-Fi networks in about a dozen countries over a three-year period until German privacy authorities began questioning in 2010 what data Google’s Street View cars were collecting. Google, along with other companies, uses databases of Wi-Fi networks and their locations to augment or replace GPS when attempting to figure out the location of a computer or mobile device. Google had claimed the lawsuit was “without merit,” but has abandoned the practice of payload sniffing from open networks.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The net effect of Tuesday's ruling: The wiretapping lawsuit can proceed in U.S. District Court in San Jose. Google says it's \"disappointed\" with the ruling.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the case and yesterday's ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTHA MENDOZA\u003cbr>\nAP National Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unbeknown to passers-by, those cameras weren't just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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 publicly known company to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it \"a landmark decision for Internet privacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorneys general sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told conference-goers that the firm had made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In short, let me just say that we screwed up,\" he said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google says it has disabled the equipment that was collecting the data, and agreed to destroy the information as soon as possible. The company is currently obliged to hold it, unused, because of ongoing litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

However, Vine has shown rapid growth and an active community over the past six months, with over 13 million users on the service.

However, Vine has shown rapid growth and an active community over the past six months, with over 13 million users on the service. The limits put forth within the app, like a six-second maximum, and a lack of editability, have actually made the app more appealing to users both creatively and consumption-wise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yahoo Fought Against Turning Over Data to the NSA Back in 2008\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claire Cain Miller and Nicole Perlroth \u003ca href=\"bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/28/secret-court-declassifies-yahoos-role-in-disclosure-fight/\">reported\u003c/a> in the Bits Blog of The New York Times that Yahoo fought and lost a secret case with the government's surveillance court in 2008 that set the stage for the basis on which Internet companies have been forced to provide massive amounts of data under the National Security Agency’s Prism program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The court used a heavily redacted version of the decision by the FISA court of review, published in 2008 without Yahoo’s name, to warn other companies that they need not even try to test the legality of FISA requests.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another twist on the data collection controversy, ProPublica’s Jeff Larson filed a Freedom of Information Act Request with the NSA to find out what information the agency had collected on him. The agency \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/article/nsa-responding-to-this-foia-would-help-our-adversaries\">responded\u003c/a> that it could not confirm or deny whether it collected Larsen’s metadata:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any positive or negative response on a request-by-request basis would allow our adversaries to accumulate information and draw conclusions about the NSA's technical capabilities, sources, and methods.

The study also reported that teens use many techniques, including inside jokes to cloak their meaning and protect their privacy online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Google Glass and Privacy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, government officials from seven countries this week asked Google to address privacy concerns raised by its wearable computer device, Glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel and Switzerland sent a \u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/19/privacy-officials-worldwide-press-google-about-glass/?_r=0\">letter\u003c/a> to Google’s CEO, Larry Page, stating: “We would be very interested in hearing about the privacy implications of this new product and the steps you are taking to ensure that, as you move forward with Google Glass, individuals’ privacy rights are respected around the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Page has dismissed such concerns in the past as the usual fears that emerge when the company introduces a new, previously unknown technology, and that they rarely turn out to be “an actual concern.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here are a few of the headliner developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Google-Waze\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Google announced it had bought the social traffic and navigation app Waze, reportedly for $1.3 billion, which seems to be the market range for acquiring the flashiest startups these days.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search giant already has Google Maps, of course, so why scoop up Waze?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of this Israeli startup are dedicated communities of drivers who share driving information in real time, alerting each other to accidents, road work and other traffic issues along the route ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This fast-growing community of traffic-obsessed drivers is working together to find the best routes from home to work every day,” explained Google’s Brian McClendon, vice president, Geo, on the company\u003ca href=\"http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/google-maps-and-waze-outsmarting.html\"> blog\u003c/a>. “We’ll … work closely with the vibrant Waze community, who are the DNA of this app, to ensure they have what’s needed to grow and prosper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(It) is used by something like 105 percent of the population here, statistically speaking,” said Amalyah Keshet of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. “It’s a simple expression of the ancient and honorable Israeli habit of giving wanted or unwanted advice – especially about where to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just last night, a friend arrived at my house after Waze told her it would take her 14 minutes from where she was. She mentally bet the program that it would take at least 15 minutes. It took 14.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waze is notably international in scope, with around 50 million users in some 110 countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a nonprofit group, Consumer Watchdog, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2013/06/12/consumer-watchdog-urges-feds-to-block.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2013-06-12&u=w2yEyouscoSS9s5yw9jRjLxWrh0&t=1371142404\">urged\u003c/a> the Federal Trade Commission to block the acquisition because it could result in Google attaining a monopoly over mapping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facebook-Twitter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two most prominent social media companies picked this week to extend each other the sincerest form of flattery.
