UK Ruling Says Authorities Can Force You To Hand Over Your Encryption Key

A year ago, there was a legal ruling in the US that said an individual could not be forced to hand over their encryption key to encrypted data on a computer, since it violates the 5th amendment against self-incrimination. Over in the UK, they apparently also have protections against self-incrimination, but apparently it doesn't cover handing over your encryption key (thanks to JJ for sending over the link). Basically, the ruling is pretty close to the opposite of the US ruling. Basically, it found that an encryption key isn't speech but an independent "thing" that can be required to be turned over to authorities.

Sued For Libel Over eBay Feedback

There's been plenty of criticism over eBay's feedback system over the years, and recently the company famously stopped allowing sellers to give feedback, since many sellers were using it as a weapon to force buyers to give good feedback, or risk getting bad feedback themselves. However, the latest outrage over eBay's feedback system seems a bit silly. A seller in the UK is suing a buyer for libel for his eBay feedback.

How to kill time on the Web now that the election's over.

The election's over, and you're bored. You're not really elated that your guy won or dismayed that he got crushed—really, you just wish you knew what to do with yourself. Over the last few months, you've spent hours each day poring over polls and reading every pundit. Now all that is done, and the Web seems so ... empty. Politico is full of stories about the transition team and RealClearPolitics is focused on 2012, but it's just not the same.

WoW Widows Back in Full Force

How Shoppers Evolve Online

As Web sales lose steam — online sales in the US are projected to grow 17% in 2008 over 2007 compared with a year-over-year sales increase of 66% in 2000 over 1999 — eCommerce executives struggle to understand the current drivers of sales growth in the channel. A significant source of increased revenue for many retailers is the growth in online spend by the most tenured Web shoppers. These consumers are technology-savvy and generally more affluent than the general population. Additionally, this population grows into making riskier, high-consideration purchases — such as large home appliances and automobiles — over time.

Bloggery

So I know my updateage lately has been pretty crappy, and I wanted to explain a little. I have another blog, one I just recently started, and which deals with everything, not just makeup. Since I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately, and a bunch of other things have been going on, I've been posting some things over there but not had a lot of material to post here. So I just thought I'd direct you over to http://hwaet-hwaet.blogspot.com/, and if there hasn't been any activity over here for a while, perhaps more is happening in other, non-makeup-related areas of my life which are being blogged about over there. It's a shame I don't have any makeup posts right now, but I can't get the videos I have to upload properly, and I did do some minor hauling but it's all been shipped to the US : ( International shipping is hella expensive, so
