A burst of 8 links for you to chew over, as picked by the Technology team
Vendor Bubbles >> asymco
Fun with Google Widgets and lots of data about smartphones since 2007. The line graph is actually the simplest view.
England's health data mapped >> guardian.co.uk
This is really interesting to play with. Uses data from public health observatories - who had hell's own fight a few years ago trying to publish data on Ordnance Survey maps online. Now: fixed.
Groupon India publishes 300,000 user passwords >> The Register
"Groupon subsidiary Sosasta.com accidentally published a database containing the email addresses and clear-text passwords of 300,000 users and the cache was indexed by Google."
Oops.
Why Google+ won't hurt Facebook, but Skype will hate it >> Gigaom
Interesting analysis. Google hasn't got a hope of catching up with Facebook, of course.
It's So Obvious >> Biz Stone
"As for the bulk of my time day-to-day, I'm thrilled to announce that Evan Williams, Jason Goldman and myself will be relaunching The Obvious Corporation as co-founders. Our plan is to develop new projects and work on solving big problems aligned along a simple mission statement: The Obvious Corporation develops systems that help people work together to improve the world. This is a dream come true!"
Collaboration? Lots of things this could be. Then again, he has a good track record - Twitter, Blogger. Should it have been Obviouser to guarantee success?
Former YouSendIt CEO pleads guilty to Web attack on his old company >> latimes.com
"The former chief executive of the YouSendIt, a website where users can post files too large to send over email, has admitted to launching an online attack against the company he once ran. "Khalid Shaikh, who is one of YouSendIt's co-founders, pleaded guilty last week in a San Jose court to the 'transmission of a code to cause damage to a protected computer.'"
No reason given. He faces up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
@tomcoates: Fundamentally, Google is a utility company... >> Twitter
Click through for his comment on Google+ that follows from that premise.
#lulzlog stats >> nonyNews!
Interesting "who posted when" analysis on the leaked LulzSec logs. Doesn't necessarily tell you what time zone they're in, but gives a clue to their comings and goings. Though of course "kayla" - one of the most important members - never actually appears by name.
