extrait de 4e de couverture : "The author demonstrates that the Internet as a global communications space i a self-organising entity that has proven problematic for regulators, and that in order to regulate cyberspace, one must first uderstand how the network operates. In order to illustrate how the world wide web operates, Andrés Guadamuz presents case studies in copyright policy, peer-production ans cybercrime, providing in-depth analyses of challenges posed by the Internet's complex dynamic networks. The book concludes that regulatory efforts that ignore empirical evidence will utimately encounter serious problems."
"Post-PC means post-Office
One area where tablets are really lacking is support for traditional office tools like word processors and spreadsheets. There is a Google Drive client, but it is very slow (even small spreadsheets can take minutes to load) and mostly non-functional (word processor doesn't even support headlines).
There are also some other office suites available, but even these are better used for viewing documents than actually making changes to them.
But the bigger question is whether traditional office tools even have a place in this modern world. The commentary on constant delays with Microsoft Office for iOS and Android shows that people don't see them as that relevant any longer:
For the longest time, Office was the ubiquitous productivity suite. Everybody used it. Nobody considered using anything else. However, since this mobile revolution started, even non-geeks are starting to question whether Office is still all that. I had breakfast this morning with a CPA who does all of his work in Google docs. There is an entire generation of future workers going through high school and college now who don’t even have Office installed on their computers. If Microsoft has any hopes of keeping Office relevant, it needs to be everywhere, including the iPad.Personally, I might be a lot better off writing my documents in Markdown, versioning them with git, and maybe using custom data-gathering applications with CouchDB map-reduces for data visualization."

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
