A spike in government surveillance, and wine sales on Amazon
Monday, October 1, 2012 - 00:05 David McNew/Getty Images Amazon is mulling over online wine sales. According a new report, in 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Justice Department allowed law enforcement agencies to examine more private data than in the entire previous decade . The kind of surveillance allowance isn't new -- but the kinds of data the government is being allowed to pull has changed. And though information on domestic surveillance using these kinds of data -- called "pen register" and "trap and trace" -- is supposed to be presented to Congress regularly, the latest report from the Department of Justice was only provided to the public after the American Civil Liberties Union filed an FOI request and then sued to have the information released. A privacy expert and technologist from the ACLU, Chris Soghoian, points out that changes in technology are also changing the information our government is looking at.

Why Is That 17-Year-Old’s $30 Million News App Even Legal?
Nick D’Aloisio has officially earned his seat at the cool kids’ table. The 17-year-old high school student this week sold his news aggregator app Summly to tech giant Yahoo for a reported $30 million in cash and stock. While he’s finishing up his diploma, he’ll also start work at Yahoo’s London office. Meanwhile, Yahoo plans to enhance its own mobile apps with the technology developed for Summly, which uses an algorithm to automatically produce easily digestible summaries of news stories.
