  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

Please signup immediately for 10­minute checkout slot ­­ here: https://docs.google.com/a/uchicago.edu/spreadsheets/d/1PbHuZdTEQTHrTq6uTz837WYx t_N8eoZs8QqQAZF_Ma8/edit?usp=sharing Google provides two Cardboard SDKs, one for Android SDK and one for Unity SDK. Android SDK is used for Android Studio. If we want to develop Google Cardboard apps with 3D models in Android Studio, we need to deal with OpenGL ES, this interface provides detailed control for power users. Given the short time frame for this class, we will focus on use of the higher level Unity interface for quick development of VR apps. However, you may choose to use this in your projects. The Unity SDK can be used to develop VR apps for Android and iOS platforms1 with Unity. For the class, we will use Android. Unity is a development platform for creating multi­platform 3D and 2D games and interactive experiences. It is designed to deal with 3D models directly and easily. In this class, Unity 5 is used as the development environment.

Tiivistelmä Tämän opinnäytetyön aiheena oli sijaintipohjaiset mobiilipelit. Sijaintipohjaiset mobiili- pelit ovat pelien tapa yhdistää oikea maailma virtuaalisen maailman kanssa ja täten ne luovat yhdessä aivan uuden pelikokemuksen. Tämä tutkimus syventyi teknologiaan ja työkaluihin, joilla kehitetään sijaintipohjaisia pelejä. Näihin sisältyy esimerkiksi GPS ja Bluetooth. Samalla työssä myös tutustuttiin yleisesti sijaintipohjaisten pelien ominaisuuksiin. Melkein kaikki tekniset ratkaisut, jotka oli esitetty opinnäytetyössä, olivat Moomin Move peliprojektin teknisiä ratkaisuja. Opinnäytetyön tuloksena tuli lisää mahdolli- suuksia kehittää Moomin Move pelin sijaintipohjaisia ominaisuuksia, kuten tuomalla kamerapohjaisia sijaintitekniikoita.

    Google, Inc. Personal Democracy Forum Tom: Thank you for having us here. It’s a treat to be here. I’m Tom Friedman from The New York Times and The Flat World and my partner in crime here, Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google. And Eric, thank you for being here. I just wanted to begin with a broad question. As a newspaper reader, it seems like Google’s in the news every day, and it’s something new. I just have a really simple question. Where are you guys going? What is the new, new thing for Google? And what is kind of the macro frame around it? Because I know these _____ stories I’m reading, they all are connected to a broader strategy. Eric: Maybe. Tom: I hope. Eric: You’re giving us a lot of credit. Well, thank you all for having us here. It’s a pretty important event, and I’m so glad people could spend the time. And thanks to the university for sponsoring it and so forth. The news this week of course is that we’re integrating the way search works. We’ve taken the disparate sources of information, video, news, and so forth, and put them together in a common set of answers, which we call universal search. What was happening of course was people were spending all their time in these specialty searches, but they really wanted to ask the right question and get all the right answers. And our signals, our algorithms as we call them, are getting better as we’re getting more information, we understand personal behavior and so forth.

  • A Simple Technique for Modeling Terrains Using Contour Maps
    2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation A Simple Technique for Modeling Terrains Using Contour Maps José Anibal Arias, Roberto Carlos Reyes, Antonio Razo Universidad Tecnológica de la Mixteca, Universidad de las Américas - Puebla {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Abstract 2. Related work In this paper we describe a simple modeling technique used to create precise and complex digital In most applications, the procedure to digitally terrains models using contour maps. As a case study we generate a terrain is based in grayscale elevation maps. use the terrain of the “Monte Albán” archeological site, In these maps lighter tones generally represent areas with located in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. We employ the increased altitude. This type of procedure is technique with a simple contour map to obtain a realistic recommended for scale models including local tridimensional terrain model that includes the four main measurements. It produces a surface where we can place hills of the site. different objects and apply textures to achieve realistic terrain representations. Keywords--- 3D Modeling, GIS, Archaeological There are more complex and detailed models that reconstruction. can even be georeferenced (i.e. associated with a spatial reference system) to show the location of the model on the earth’s surface at a given scale. These models are based on field measurements, remote sensing or 1. Introduction restitution. The input formats can range from point clouds, data generated by the LIDAR sensor, contours There are several different approaches to represent a generated by stereoscopic aerial orthophotos restitutions, 3D digital terrain.

  • Don't Be Evil
    220 Chapter 13 “Don’t Be Evil” and Beyond for High Tech Organizations: Ethical Statements and Mottos (and Responsibility) Jo Ann Oravec University of Wisconsin – Whitewater, USA ABSTRACT Societal pressures on high tech organizations to define and disseminate their ethical stances are increasing as the influences of the technologies involved expand. Many Internet-based businesses have emerged in the past decades; growing numbers of them have developed some kind of moral declaration in the form of mottos or ethical statements. For example, the corporate motto “don’t be evil” (often linked with Google/ Alphabet) has generated considerable controversy about social and cultural impacts of search engines. After addressing the origins of these mottos and statements, this chapter projects the future of such ethi- cal manifestations in the context of critically-important privacy, security, and economic concerns. The chapter analyzes potential influences of the ethical expressions on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The chapter analyzes issues of whether “large-grained” corporate mottos can indeed serve to supply social and ethical guidance for organizations as opposed to more complex, detailed codes of ethics or comparable attempts at moral clarification. INTRODUCTION Evil is whatever Sergey [Brin] says is evil. - Eric Schmidt, former Executive Chairman of Google, as quoted in Vise and Malseed (2005) How do organizations make sense of the panoply of ethical issues they face, especially in rapidly-changing technological and social environments? Challenges are expanding for high tech research and development organizations as their technologies grow in societal impact (Broeders & Taylor, 2017), from consider- ing the problems of young people confronting cyberbullies (Oravec, 2012) to the use of social media DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-4197-4.ch013 Copyright © 2018, IGI Global.
