Article 1: The Privacy Dilemma By: Erick Schonfeld
http://techcrunch.com/2009/01/28/the-privacy-dilemma/
This article talks about how now the more stuff we post online of our lives, the less privacy we have. We have to take more precautions since scammers are always on the look out to get our private information and do horrible stuff with them. This is a great problem that I am seeing in first hand since my friend's Instagram account was hacked and his personal information was stolen. We need to create better passwords for all our accounts. Not only this, but change them every couple of months for precautions.
Article 2: Google, Facebook, Privacy and You By:Keith Teare
http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/28/google-facebook-privacy-and-you/
This article is discussing about how supposedly Google is changing its privacy policy and sent out a mass email to all their account users. Google said that they are not and will not sell their personal information to third parties. Their tactic to this is that they changed their terms and conditions on how they are going to provide companies with an integrated set of data. This does not mean that the personal information will be given, only the basics of all of us.
Article 3: There's A Difference Between Private and Personal By: Drew Olanoff
http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/28/theres-a-difference-between-private-and-personal/
The article talks about how once you put something online such as Facebook, it is no longer private. It is now public to the world. Some journalist took a picture that the CEO of Facebook took and post on Facebook and the journalists used it on their article. This is saying that the picture is not public and not private. As well there is a controversy between the difference of private and personal. Private is defined as confined to or intended for people that are to be seen by such as close quarters friends and family. While Personal is defined as relating to, directed to or intended for a particular person. So when you share a picture to social media you are allowing personal friends to see them.

Blog Assignment #6
In my Google account, the settings are set to only the people that I have in my circles will be able to send me notifications along with comments on the posts that I have. Here you are able to manage your apps, photos and videos you share as well as sharing it with Youtube. I have a good feeling that my privacy is secured here because I do not have much to share on Google other than my work for my classes.
The second online service that I have is my AT&T yahoo email. This account is very secured since I made sure that my settings are set to my level of privacy. On settings you are able to change the way you view your emails. As well it has the feature security under settings which allows spam email to be removed within a certain time you desire. Those spam emails contain viruses and mal ware that can harm your computer and get important information such as accounts information and then a third party will be able to hack into them. This feature allows those spams email to be deleted permanently. Another feature this has is you are able to block any email address that you do not want to receive any emails from.
The third online service that I have is Instagram. Under the settings for here you are able to edit your password. This allows you to have more security over your account for the reason being that you can change it whenever you feel like it. This makes it harder for hackers to hack into your account if you change it. You can link Instagram to other accounts in case you forget your password. Also under settings, you are able to save original photos you take just in case you delete them by mistake on your phone, tablet, laptop, etc.
The fourth online service is my UHD Gator Mail. This is set up by the University and it generates a new password every 90 days I believe. After the time passes you are required to make a new one in order to access your gator mail, blackboard and other services that is linked with your gator account. Not only is this secured, but it prevents from anyone getting into your account. As well along with this feature, you have security question that you answer personally that only you know the answer.
For me, these online services that I have are secured for me since I do not really have much to share out in public. I usually stay within my group of friends and peers that I know well enough. For me they all have the good privacy settings, but the best one for me is my AT&T yahoo email. This is personal for me since this email is the one that I have all my important information that I have on here. The worst I believe might be Instagram since I have a friend that his account was recently hacked into.

Chinese Gold Farmer
Based upon the article and the video on Chinese Gold Farming, this method is based upon cheap labor in China in the virtual gaming world. The polite term for this is called gaming workshops. The laborers work for a wage of around $1.25 which equals to about 10 yuans. The person in the article named Li Qiwen, is a worker that does this for a living. Night after night him and a group of around 10 people gather up virtual coins, weapons, all that is required in the games. After they reach their goal to sell, then they all give it to their supervisor who sells the virtual currency to buyers in The United Sates and Europe. In the video, we also see that they live in small dorms and share their winnings.
There are thousands of businesses in China that do this that it is not owned nor operated by gaming companies, who legitimately make the money. The way that these virtual currency are bought are from Ebay, PayPal, and other source of transferring money. Depending on the work shops, the average amount they make a year is $80,000 in U.S dollars. For these farmers, every minute counts because if they spent less time on it, then it is like money being taken away from their pockets.
