It aims to warn policy-makers, industry, academia, civil society organisations, the media and the public about the threats and vulnerabilities facing our privacy, identity, trust, security and inclusion in the rapidly approaching world of ambient intelligence (AmI). In the near future, every manufactured product ? our clothes, money, appliances, the paint on our walls, the carpets on our floors, our cars, everything ? will be embedded with intelligence, networks of tiny sensors and actuators, which some have termed ¡Èsmart dust¡É. The AmI world is not far off. We already have surveillance systems, biometrics, personal communicators, machine learning and more. AmI will provide personalised services ? and know more about us ? on a scale dwarfing anything hitherto available. In the AmI vision, ubiquitous computing, communications and interfaces converge and adapt to the user. AmI promises greater user-friendliness in an environment capable of recognising and responding to the presence of different individuals in a seamless, unobtrusive and often invisible way. While most stakeholders paint the promise of AmI in sunny colours, there is a dark side to AmI. This book aims to illustrate the threats and vulnerabilities by means of four ¡Èdark scenarios¡É. The authors set out a structured methodology for analysing the four scenarios, and then identify safeguards to counter the foreseen threats and vulnerabilities. They make recommendations to policy-makers and other stakeholders about what they can do to maximise the benefits from ambient intelligence and minimise the negative consequences.

Acid Technology
$17.98
This was supposedly recorded in a weekend, in classic jam spirit with each member 'feeding of each others' energies and ideas.' The result is a dense, druggy complicated mix of a few core analog synthesizers twisting and melting, overlapping and fading in and out of each other. The sequences and patterns these three guys come up with are consistently inventive and the tweakage is intense and fluid-2nd to none. Though they continued to work this way live, they largely abandoned this free-form acid techno jam style in favor of more straighforward techno trax on the subsequent albums. In techno, there are so few interesting full albums, so few real masterpieces, but this is definitely one of them.
