Is Big Data a Bubble?
In case you’re in a hurry: Of course it is. And that is good.
Longer version: Last week there were several events that convinced me that one of the great tech bubbles inflating right now is around what people have agreed to call “Big Data.” Basically the term reflects the fact that its now so easy to digitize and put on the Internet all kinds of information — things as diverse as the measurements of passive sensors, most or all the world’s books, 200 million tweets a day and most of the world’s significant financial transactions — that the data is growing enormously.
Big Data is really about, 不过, the benefits we will gain by cleverly sifting through it to find and exploit new patterns and relationships. You see it now in things like Facebook ads, which are put in front of you because the posts you have read and contributed to (which Facebook’s algorithms get to examine as the price of this “free” service) indicate you might be ready to buy the advertised good.
Other companies look at air and soil data to write insurance about crop production. Further out, people want to seek patterns in raw medical data for possible causes and cures for disease, bypassing much of the old hypothesis-experiment model; this article from Wired tells of how the Google co-founder Sergey Brin used this in Parkinson’s research.
Last week’s gathering of the tech tribes, the Web 2.0 会议, focused heavily on the benefits of the ubiquity of Big Data — ad placement at Google, Coca-Cola vending machines that develop a personal relationship with the buyer, or what Facebook algorithms are doing to the cultivation of our souls. Microsoft held a one-hour session for developers on all the big, reliable databases it would offer them to make new products.
Facebook could face a fine of up to €100,000 (£87,000) after an Austrian law student discovered the social networking site held 1,200 pages of personal data about him, much of which he had deleted.
Max Schrems, 24, decided to ask Facebook for a copy of his data in June after attending a lecture by a Facebook executive while on an exchange programme at Santa Clara University in California.
Schrems was shocked when he eventually received a CD from California containing messages and information he says he had deleted from his profile in the three years since he joined the site.
After receiving the data, Schrems decided to log a list of 22 separate complaints with the Irish data protection commissioner, which next week is to carry out its first audit of Facebook. He wrote to Ireland after discovering that European users are administered by the Irish Facebook subsidiary. A spokeswoman for the commissioner confirmed its officers would be investigating alleged breaches raised by Schrems as part of the audit. If the commissioner decides to prosecute and Facebook or any employees are found guilty of data protection breaches, the maximum penalty is a fine of €100,000.
其中 1,200 pages of data Schrems was sent were rejected friend requests, incidences where he “defriended” 有人, as well as a log of all Facebook chats he had ever had. There was also a list of photos he had detagged of himself, the names of everyone he had ever “poked”, which events he had attended, which he hadn’t replied to, and much more besides.
The information was broken down into 57 categories, including likes, log-ons (a list of when he logged on and which IP address he used) 和电子邮件, which included some email addresses Schrems had never personally uploaded to the site but which he assumes were discerned from another user’s profile.

Since the initial news of the U.S. government’s bribery investigation into Las Vegas Sands’ Macau operations, we’ve scarcely heard a peep about it.
The casino owner and operator disclosed in March that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department were investigating whether LVS violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bars bribery of foreign officials.
FCPA aficionados know that this case holds intense interest. The government, 没有疑问, wants to make a splash by pegging a casino, 和, in the words of the Fixx, one thing leads to another. The SEC and Justice Department rarely stop with one company in any particular industry when it comes to overseas bribery. They are likely to start looking at other casinos, if they haven’t already.
因此，, with that windup, WSJ’s Kate O’Keeffe has a report on an internal memo from LVS general counsel Gayle Hyman that points to a possible focus of the probe.
Hyman’s memo, reviewed by the WSJ, instructs employees at Sands to retain documents regarding “transmission of anything of value” to current and former Macau government officials and their family members. The memo also names several Sands employees and contractors about whom documents must be preserved. Among those people is a prominent Macau lawyer who is a focus of a dispute between the company and its former chief executive for Macau.
The memo mirrors a subpoena sent by the SEC, a person familiar with the matter told the Journal.
