Thanks to everyone who has contacted me since Sunday with suggestions about http://www.inphormationdesk.org and apologies for not replying directly yet - I will soon, but the day job has to be done as well.

I have added another Q&A item to the home page of

What is new about it? Retailers and companies like Google already collect information about you when you visit their websites. The difference with Phorm is that with a few exceptions it intercepts and reads everything you do in every website you visit, and processes this information to build a total picture of you.

Please can I have any suggestions to improve accuracy, clarity and impact.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

yep that works too.

infact this Phorm might be the very best thing to finally bring the mobile browsing to the masses.

we are seeing a lot of new 11N and Wimax mobile and mini kit coming to market real soon, all we need now is the wide spread wireless networks..

theres got to be some PR marketing in that lot, and we might not mind these standard delivery adverts for a short time, while we decide what works for us as the UK populas.

OK, the article is really coming together now. I plan to have the first draft complete by Friday afternoon at which point I would appreciate as many people as possible to proof read it. I am sure you can understand it gets difficult to proof read such a long document yourself, so all help appreciated.

I am not an English Language major so I am happy to accept comments regarding grammar too (not to mention typos and spelling errors).

The weekend will consist of me refining the paper according to the feedback I receive. Then on Monday or Tuesday it will be published on a 10mbit fibre connection and a digg article will be submitted. It is important to get as many people to digg the article as possible in order to get the story onto the front page and raise awareness in the public domain.

The paper will be Creative Commons so anyone is welcome to post a copy of it anywhere they see fit; the more people who read it, hopefully the more people will start demanding action for the illegal trials in 2006/2007.

I will also be exploring any opportunities to have the paper published in journals/relevant offline sources so if any of you know any publishers or magazine editors who you think might be interested, please get in touch.

Oh another thing, I seem to be having a problem locating an "official" source to reference the Scottish version of the Computer Misuse Act. I have relied on the information from the UKCrypto mailing list for my citation but I would prefer to link to an official government source for the reference (which is why it is currently not referenced).

If anyone can find the Scottish version of the Act please link to it in this thread.

This any good?

It's a section concerning Scotland in the main Act. Maybe there isn't a completely separate Act for Scotland?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

Any use?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

Nope, I already read that. Section 3 of the Scottish Act is apparently very different to the England/Wales version. I have cited the entire section which I found on ukcrypto so if you have a read of the paper you can see the differences.

Thanks anyway
