Angel Zero, the comic-book series wot I did for 2000AD with artist John M Burns three or so years ago (Prog 1751 onwards) is now available digitally via Drive Thru Comics at a very reasonable price...

Meanwhile, I'm about half-way through writing a new series for 2000AD with John once again on fully painted art -- and the pages I've seen so far are gorgeous...

PRODUCING ENERGY FROM COFFEE WASTE

30/8/2014

0 Comments

 
"Latin America produces around 70 percent of the world's coffee, but there is a hidden price we have to pay in threats to clean environments and community health. Coffee production generates a great amount of wastewater, which is released untreated into rivers, affecting aquatic fauna and flora and downstream communities. A key problem is that coffee wastewater comes along with tons of organic waste and high toxicity, which affects the soil and generates greenhouse-gas emissions, particularly methane. An international push to address the health and environmental problems caused by coffee wastewater may now turn out to be a milestone in tackling the issue, with Central American farmers using coffee wastewater to generate energy."

HOW TO SPOOF VOICE ASSISTANTS / SMARTPHONE SPEAKERS

29/8/2014

This via Mark @chickenf1sh a couple days ago (been snarled up with other stuff this week; just catching up with a lickle blogging)...

Sadly, Mark now kinda knows the sort of info.trivia that floats my imaginative boat.

"This paper presents a novel approach (GVS-Attack) to launch permission bypassing attacks from a zero permission Android application (VoicEmployer) through the speaker. The idea of GVS-Attack utilizes an Android system built-in voice assistant module -- Google Voice Search."

WHERE NEOLIBRALISM WENT NEXT / THE COLONISATION OF EVERYTHING: BLUETOOTH TOOTHBRUSHES, DECLARING WAR ON WEARABLES AND SHARABLES

25/8/2014

Really great piece by Evgeny Morozov, via Cryptome, on the monetisation of, well, pretty much everything and where the next layer of resistance needs to be:

"The battle lines are clear. If Google fills our houses with smart thermostats like Nest, then Google will monetise our shower whistling. Google integrates data from different streams — self-driving cars, smart glasses, email — and its helpfulness is a function of its ubiquity. To get the best from it, we should let Google’s services fill in all the vacant areas of our digitised everyday existence. The size of Google’s data reservoirs makes competition unrealistic, a point not lost on smaller companies. The other option is to follow the populist calls of Pentland and Lanier and thwart Google’s ambitions by insisting that data automatically belongs to the users, or demanding that they at least share in Google’s profits.

"Both of these positions, for all their apparent differences, belong to one political programme, representing two intellectual traditions. As the British sociologist Will Davies shows in his new book, The Limits of Neoliberalism, the future offered to us by Lanier and Pentland fits into the German “ordoliberal” tradition, which sees the preservation of market competition as a moral project, and treats all monopolies as dangerous. The Google approach fits better with the American school of neoliberalism that developed at the University of Chicago. Its adherents are mostly focused on efficiency and consumer welfare, not morality; and monopolies are never assumed to be evil just because they are monopolies — some might be socially beneficial. For all its claims to innovation and disruption, the contemporary technology debate neither innovates nor disrupts: in assuming that information is a commodity, it operates firmly within a sole neoliberal paradigm."
