07 "Do Not Track" privacy protection?
The New York Times reported that Google, Facebook and others who
track consumers behavior on the Internet say they want a Do Not Track

industry participants will be looking over their shoulders or sitting
on their hands instead of offering bold ideas for workable solutions.
So, open but not open to the public.

the right tools. If your work requires generally
office-like capabilities, there are
definitely iPad solutions.
