Don’t look now, but no matter where you go, you’re connected. We — or most of us, at least — have opened our front doors to large corporations, hardware manufacturers, software firms and search engines. We have allowed them to rifle through our jacket pockets and handbags. And now they can do as they wish with us, or do the bidding of the powers-that-be — in the form of a totalitarian government, for example.

Don’t believe it? Well, consider a recent incident involving the Internet bookseller Amazon and two works by — ironically enough — George Orwell. Amazon had been selling the titles, “1984″ and “Animal Farm,” to owners of its Kindle reader, the special e-book device the bookseller developed. However, it turned out that the publishers of the Orwell books didn’t own the electronic rights to the works. And so, to the surprise of buyers, Amazon erased the two books — which had been paid for and delivered — from the electronic reader. Amazon’s readers had unwittingly purchased pirate copies, it turned out.

Emiratele Arabe Unite propun implementarea unei aplicatii de supraveghere a BlackBerry

‘—————–

Etisalat, compania de telecomunicatii din Emiratele Arabe Unite, le-a propus clientilor care folosesc sistemul BlackBerry un program care permite interceptarea schimburilor de e-mailuri si de sms-uri. Motivul implementarii aplicatiei: imbunatatirea serviciului, spune compania, potrivit AFP.

Presa din Dubai a scris miercuri pe marginea acestui subiect, citand un comunicat al producatorului acestor telefoane, Research in Motion (RIM), cu sediul in Canada. RIM a protestat astfel fata de initiativa Etisalat privind introducerea aplicatiei de supraveghere, care-i permite companiei din Emirate sa aiba acces la informatiile continute in telefoanele BlackBerry si sa intercepteze comunicatiile utilizatorilor.

Potrivit cotidienelor Khaleej Times si Gulf News, Etisalat le-a propus tuturor celor 145.000 de abonati ai sai ce folosesc BlackBerry sa introduca acest program, sub explicatia ca va dezvolta performanetele aparatelor.

RIM a anuntat, insa, ca programul nu a fost conceput de specialistii sai, ci de o companie numita SS8, cu sediul in California. Clientii care au instalat deja aplicatia se plang ca bateria telefonului se epuizeaza intr-un timp tot mai scurt. Etisalat nu a raspuns inca anuntului facut de RIM, dar o replica este asteptata dupa o intalnire care are loc miercuri cu reprezentantii producatorului canadian, scrie AFP.
