Back to the beginning.
The chromed pork IRCD is live again. Forgive the appearance while we transition our web presence.
Hostname: irc.chromedpork.net
Plaintext Port: 6667
SSL Port: 6697
Most of the crew is back after battling a spell of tech burnout, for any of you wondering: the podcast will not be making a return.
Chromedpork was developed around teleconferences and deep technical discussion via IRC. Most of us have decided that the maintaining any kind of blog or podcast are little more then a distraction from real hacking. If you've enjoyed our content in the past, I would encourage you to fire up your irc client and come discuss whatever your working on. The only change being made is that extremely excessive trolling will no longer be allowed.... Normal trolling is still encouraged.

Eric Schmidt: "I think people want google to tell them how to live their lives"
Eric Schmidt sure had some interesting things to say today....
I'm sure Google's PR team is banging their head against the wall on this one. I was even reluctant to repost this because I'm sure comments are flying everywhere. Its rather scary to hear this blatant disregard for privacy concerns when you remember that Google has recently teamed up with the NSA.
I'll be the first to admit that I haven't cared enough about my privacy to discontinue the use of all Google products, but I think Eric has made his intentions fairly clear in this interview. Google does not care about your privacy, and frankly if you don't like it you should change your name and you may miss out on Google telling you when and what to think and more importantly buy.
Google's primary line of business is advertising, and frankly their really isn't any single competitor that can provide quality alternatives to their current service porfolio. That said, I dont see Googles position in the market place shifting anytime soon. We'll continue to use it and they'll continue to analyze and share our data.
From a Privacy perspective we get sick thinking about this, but frankly I think most people are in the "I don't like it but I can't stop using them" camp. Personally I try to mitigate potential damage to my future professional reputation by releasing everything under a Pen Name. The goal is simply to avoid the potential effect my current naive viewpoints and public photographs will have on future professional engagements. However most Google users are unaware that information is collected, and our younger generation has shown blatant disregard for personal privacy on many fronts.
I'm really interested to see where this wave of personal openness and lack of privacy takes us as a society. The internet globally connected my generation and I think by and large many netcitizens live in a world without international borders, a world where you are judged by your personality and knowledge over your skin tone and accent.
Personally I don't think these kids will actually need to change their names. What we're experiencing here is a changing of guard, the previous generation was lucky enough to leave what happened the summer of 1969 behind. Their children got to burn all of the pictures of themselves with big hair, and pink sweat bands. Perhaps the coming generation will just stop trying to pretend they were never wild, and it will become professionally be acceptable to be something more then Generic Cube Occupant 32A.

"In an interview Mr Schmidt said he believed that every young person will one day be allowed to change their name to distance themselves from embarrassing photographs and material stored on their friends' social media sites." -- Murray Wardrop , Telegraph
"We're trying to figure out what the future of search is, one idea is that more and more searches are done on your behalf without you needing to type." -- Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman & CEO
"I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next." -- Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman & CEO
"He suggested, as an example, that because Google would know “roughly who you are, roughly what you care about, roughly who your friends are”, it could remind users what groceries they needed to buy when passing a shop." -- Murray Wardrop, Telegraph
