SINCE broadband began its inexorable spread at the start of this millenium, Internet use has expanded at a cosmic rate. Last year, the number of Internet users topped 2.4 billion — more than a third of all humans on the planet. The time spent on the screen was 16 hours per week globally — double that in high-use countries, and much of that on social media. We have changed how we interact. Are we also changing what we are?
We put that question to three people who have written extensively on the subject, and brought them together to discuss it with Serge Schmemann, the editor of this magazine. The participants: Susan Greenfield, professor of synaptic pharmacology at Oxford. She has written and spoken widely on the impact of new technology on users’ brains.

The suspects in the killing of 19-year-old Juliana Mensch left behind a damning trail of digital evidence linking them to the crime, according to authorities.
The New Times has obtained Google searches, Facebook posts and text messages that, cops say, show Mensch’s friends James Ayers and Nicole Okrzesik plotting ways to kill the Broward County, Fla. teen and then discussing what to do with the body. Ayers was arrested for the killing in March and Okrzesik was taken in last month.

Two years ago, Facebook’s security team began noticing a surge in a particular strain of computer virus. The malicious software stole credit card information and other personal data belonging to thousands of Facebook users and spammed their friends with links to rogue websites, creating a global network of infected PCs.At first, Facebook played defense, helping victims clean their computers and attempting to block each new strain of the malware known as “Yahos.” But the virus kept mutating to avoid detection. So Facebook’s researchers did something unusual for a business being hacked: They investigated the hackers themselves, placing the giant social network at the forefront of a more combative strategy in the war against cybercrime.

In a New Jersey courtroom last month, federal prosecutors described Andrew Auernheimer as a publicity-hungry hacker who violated the privacy of thousands of iPad owners by disclosing their email addresses to a reporter.
A jury agreed, finding him guilty of identity theft and conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers. He faces up to 10 years in prison.

A U.S. and Canadian proposal to protect the Internet from new international regulation has failed to win prompt backing from other countries, setting up potentially tough negotiations to rewrite a telecom treaty.
The idea, also supported by Europe, would limit the International Telecommunication Union’s rules to only telecom operators and not Internet-based companies such as Google Inc and Facebook Inc.

Watch author Eli Pariser discuss secret censorship on the Internet, and read is accompanying blog post below following up on his talk.
People love sharing lists — the list is one of the formats that fare well in a Filter Bubble world. So here’s a list of five of the most interesting ideas I’ve come across since I gave my presentation at TED and published The Filter Bubble: What The Internet is Hiding from You.

A hacker accused of having ties to Russian security services and cybercrime organizations was bitten by his own bug when the Republic of Georgia’s national cybersecurity team unleashed his own malware on him. It had the same effect in reverse, allowing his webcam to be activated and documents to be accessed on his hard drive.

When it comes to technology, Silicon Valley remains a metonym for the industry as a whole. Small tech startups often open up shop in the area — if only to make a name for themselves — and many of America’s greatest tech companies and venture capitalists reside there as well.
But technology hubs can be found beyond the rolling green hills of the South Bay. As the industry continues to grow at an economy-defying rate and venture capitalists pour millions into burgeoning niches like the education-tech sector, new firms no longer feel the need for an office with a San Francisco or San Jose zip code.

Email marketing is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to find and keep new customers. Email Marketing is the process of sending e-mails to acquire new customers and convince existing customers to make additional purchases. It is also used to enhance the relationship of a business with its customers and prospects and encourage customer loyalty and repeat business.
