Yoda: The Academic Publishing Scam

Got Crowd? BE the Force!
Got Crowd? BE the Force!

Taxpayers spend $140 billion funding science each year — but can't access many of the results

Despite a decades-old “open access” movement — to have all research findings in the public domain and not languishing behind paywalls — the traditional approach to publishing remains firmly in place.Taxpayers fund a lot of the science that gets done, academics (many of whom are also funded by public money) peer review it for free, and then journals charge users (again, many of whom paid for the science in the first place!) ludicrous sums of money to view the finished product.

78 If Facebook is your experience of the Net, then you've strapped on goggles from a company with a fiduciary responsibility to keep you from ever taking the goggles off.
79 Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple are all in the goggles business.  The biggest truth their goggles obscure: These companies want to hold us the way black holes hold light.

Michel Bauwens: #Occupy Role of Power in a P2P Open Source Economy

#OSE Open Source Everything, P2P / Panarchy

2012, trending again.

The role of power relations in a p2p economy

The #occupy movement, which is a surface manifestation of a deeper Multitude movement, is in fact a refutation of power. Not only of the “power in place”, i.e. big banks, governments, etc. but of what we call “instituted power”, the kind of power your boss has over you. The consensus decision making process, a form of direct democracy that has been adopted by the #occupy movement, is the most obvious affirmation of this refutation of instituted power relations, which until now has been seen as a necessary structuring mechanisms of society.  Read full article.

Michel Bauwens: Analog TV Frequencies = Free Super-WiFi

Old analogue TV frequencies should turned into free ‘super WiFi’, scientists say

Old television frequencies are sold off by governments due to the change over from analogue to digital broadcasting, often to whoever is prepared to pay the most for them. They should instead be used to create a new range of free Wi-Fi, say scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. Transmitting WiFi over old TV frequencies would cover a far wider area than traditional WiFi because they use much lower frequencies. Current WiFi is transmitted over local area networks (WLAN) at about 2GHz and therefore has a limited range. Read full article.
