Fifth Annual Privacy Identity Innovation Conference Opens Today in Silicon Valley










Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2014

The Privacy Identity Innovation conference (pii2014) opens today at the Crowne Plaza Palo Alto hotel in Silicon Valley. The pii2014 conference brings together more than 250 industry executives, entrepreneurs, marketers, policy experts and privacy professionals to explore where innovation is heading and how to build trust in the data-driven economy.

Now in its fifth year, the annual gathering is the only technology conference of its kind focused on understanding the business and ethics of personal data. The conference kicks off this morning with a discussion about The Information Revolution and the Evolution of Privacy and Identity with leaders from TRUSTe, Forrester Research, Slack and PatternBuilders, followed by a fireside chat between Federal Trade Commission chairwoman Edith Ramirez and POLITICO technology reporter Tony Romm.

Topics at the conference will range from the Quantified Self and facial recognition technologies to mobile advertising and the ethics of big data. Other highlights of the three-day program include a keynote from Enchanted Objects author David Rose about the Internet of Things, interviews with founders of about.me, Secret and Silent Circle, and a discussion between Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board member Jim Dempsey and Apple’s senior director of global privacy Jane Horvath.

There will also be a number of product launches and announcements at the conference, with several startup CEOs delivering on stage presentations as part of the pii2014 Innovator Spotlight and close to 20 companies exhibiting in the pii2014 Technology Showcase.

“It’s been exciting to see more companies get involved in the privacy and identity space over the five years that we’ve been hosting the conference,” said Natalie Fonseca, Privacy Identity Innovation co-founder and executive producer. “The conversation at pii2014 is not only about what regulators can do to improve how personal information is protected – it’s also about how entrepreneurs and industry leaders can offer individuals’ more choices and better solutions for managing their information.”

Other speakers at pii2014 include experts from Box, TRUSTe, Blackphone, Facebook, Ogilvy & Mather, Forrester Research, Microsoft, Metanautix, Neura, AT&T, Adobe, Google, Janrain, Neustar, Wickr, CipherCloud, the Intelligent Car Coalition, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, the Interactive Advertising Bureau and more than 70 other companies and organizations.

Article by Kelly Purden
























Yes, you read it correctly. You can fix a slow running computer today without any cost to you. Before contacting a computer technician or buying software, you can try some “house-cleaning” first on the computer. The computer is like a house that needs maintenance. Over months of use, installing and deleting programs, downloading files, visiting thousands of web pages, your PC can accumulate clutter that result in its slow performance.

A slow running computer is like a space filled with trash and disorganized things. If you are looking for something, let’s say, your car keys, you cannot find it easily with all of that clutter. It may be the reason why your computer works very slowly. It may be working slowly because there are a lot of trashes all around. You need to fix a slow running computer today because having a slow computer also makes the user a slow worker.

There are many companies and sites today that promise your instant solution to your slow computer. Many of them offer instant service of do-it-all software and it is hard to choose which can really help you. Added to that is the cost of the service and the software.

You may be glad to know that you can do your own “house-cleaning” first before hiring a technician or buying software. You can fix a slow running computer today and do some house cleaning for your PC by simply taking out the trash.

House cleaning always involves this action. You can fix a slow running computer today by simply emptying your computer’s recycle bin. When you delete a file, the computer puts the file into the recycle bin. There are times when you accidentally delete a file and suddenly you realized that it is the wrong file you delete. The recycle bin stores this file so you can access it again and restore it to its original place.

The Recycle Bin is very helpful many times but in most cases, the deleted files that accumulate in it cause your computer to slow down. There may be hundreds of files in the recycle bin that you really want be deleted. Delete them now and you can instantly fix a slow running computer today.

Just find the trash bin icon on your desktop. Double click it to open it. When you open it you will see the list of all the trash that your PC is carrying all these weeks or months! Close the trash bin. It’s not giving out the smell but it sure is giving out some heavy load to your PC. To permanently rid your PC of that heavy trash, right-click the Recycle bin icon in your desktop. From the drop down menu, click Empty Recycle bin.

If you have a very long list of deleted files inside the Recycle Bin, it may take a while to permanently take each of the out of your PC. Imagine the space that it will free your PC with all of those unwanted files out.

This simple “house-cleaning” technique can save you a lot of money on the services of a technician or on the cost software. Taking out your computer’s trash can fix a slow running computer today.

1994: “Today”: “What is the Internet, Anyway?”

Some confusion is obvious on the set of NBC’s “Today” show, regarding the Internet and the @-sign. This is reportedly footage from between segments that was not originally aired, and apparently dates to January 1994, around the time of the Northridge earthquake (that occurred literally five minutes from where I’m sitting, and which I remember very well indeed). Both the video and audio of this clip were in terrible shape when I received it recently — I’ve cleaned up both as much as possible, though the quality (especially hue distortion) still definitely isn’t anything to write home about. Don’t laugh too hard at Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric. It’s easy to forget how relatively recent a phenomenon the Internet is for most persons who use it today!
