Joel Halldorf varnade i Expressen för hur logiken i nätets öppna offentlighet skadar demokratin.Emanuel Karlsten tycker tvärtom att internet är en revansch för alla som tidigare fått nobben i spalterna.KULTURDEBATT | MEDIER. Internet utvecklade inte demokratin, slår Joel Halldorf fast i Expressen Kultur. Och jag är förvånad över valet av tidpunkt för det påståendet. Har demokratins, samhällets och debattens positiva utveckling någonsin varit så tydlig som under dessa veckor? Internet svämmar över av historier från människor som aldrig tidigare blivit hörda. #MeToo är berättelsen om det gamla etablissemanget som ignorerat den maktlösa kvinnan. Där grindvakter ständigt krävt mer bevis mot etablissemangets herrar, ställt skeptiska motfrågor (“varför så utmanande kläder?”) snarare än att ta den enskilde kvinnans berättelse på allvar.

Astro HQ has made a name for itself with its innovative drawing apps on iOS. Just this month, the company showcased a new feature for its AstroPad Studio app that essentially turned the front-face camera into a newfound button for iPad users.The company today announced, however, that Apple has rejected that idea…The feature was actually pretty neat. You simply tapped the lens of the front camera on the iPad to activate various menus and interfaces on screen. On the surface, it seems like a great way to free up additional screen space – something that’s crucial in drawing and design applications like AstroPad Studio.The feature was also destined for AstroPad’s Luna Display app that we went hands on with back in August.

Apple today has made a notable update to the process of changing the email address associated with your Apple ID. Starting today, you can change your Apple ID from a third-party email service such as Gmail or Yahoo to an Apple domain…Previously, Apple only allowed users to change their Apple ID email from one third-party provider to another. For instance, if your Apple ID was associated with a Yahoo email address, you could switch it to a Gmail address and vice versa. You couldn’t, however, go from Gmail/Yahoo to @iCloud.com.As Apple notes in an updated support document, you can now make the shift. The company explains that if your Apple ID is currently associated with a Gmail or Yahoo email address, you can now switch to  an@iCloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com  account.

The first iOS 11.2 beta — launched earlier on Monday — enables SiriKit for third-party developers working on HomePod support, according to Apple.

”Siri recognizes SiriKit requests made on HomePod and sends those requests to the user’s iOS device for processing,” Apple wrote on a dedicated webpage. Only commands involving SiriKit’s Messaging, Lists, and Notes functions will work on a HomePod, despite the greater freedom available on iPhones and Apple Watches.

An unemployed London man discovered a USB flash storage device lying on the street as he was headed to the library to check the Internet for job listings. When he got to the library, he plugged it in and found it was filled with security details for London’s Heathrow International Airport—including security measures and travel details for Queen Elizabeth II. The man turned over the drive to a reporter at the Sunday Mirror.On the flash drive were 76 folders of files, including security documents and maps of the airport. The maps included the location of every closed circuit television (CCTV) camera at the airport; routes and security protection measures for the Queen, Cabinet ministers and visiting foreign dignitaries; and maps of the airport’s tunnels and escape shafts for the Heathrow Express train station.

Facebook has again denied eavesdropping on conversations to target adverts, following persistent speculation on the part of users who have received suspiciously timed promotional messages.Rob Goldman, the head of advertising at the social network, issued the denial in response to a question from the host of tech podcast Reply All. “I run ads product at Facebook. We don’t – and have never – used your microphone for ads. Just not true,” Goldman tweeted. He later added that the denial holds true for Facebook’s other social network, Instagram, as well.The allegation that Facebook secretly spies on users to better profile them for advertising is long-running and hard to kill for the social network. The rumour appears to have started in May 2014 when the company launched a feature for its smartphone app called “Identify TV and Music”, whoch listens for ambient noise when a user is writing a status update.
