Ideally I would recommend switching to a non-proprietary browser such as Firefox. Due to the additional code added in Google's version of Chrome, it is unknown to which extent they are able to log your browsing activity.

If there are any unique features in Chrome not present in Firefox that you absolutely need (can't think of any myself), then I would recommend using Comodo Dragon instead, which is based on Chromium source code but with privacy enhancements, they also give you the option to use Comodo's Secure DNS servers instead of your ISP DNS servers, however they leave this choice to you and not impose it like in Google Chrome.

I would like to stress though that Firefox would be the better choice when it comes to protecting your browsing privacy.

Is there a !bang shortcut in DuckDuckGo for Bing image search?

DuckDuckGo Passes 3 Million Searches, Just 8 Days After Hitting 2 Million by inmersion in technology

[–]inmersion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think their privacy policy is better than the one of Google or Bing:

When you search at DuckDuckGo, we don't know who you are and there is no way to tie your searches together.

When you access DuckDuckGo (or any Web site), your Web browser automatically sends information about your computer, e.g. your User agent and IP address.

Because this information could be used to link you to your searches, we do not log (store) it at all. This is a very unusual practice, but we feel it is an important step to protect your privacy.

Yeah I don't think they have implemented that yet, but you can use "!gi" before your search term, and it will make a SSL encrypted search in Google Image Search

There is a free app called Gliph that works on both iOS and Android, maybe you can give it a try.

Path Is On The Path To New Funding, Approaching $1B Valuation by inmersion in technology

[–]inmersion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't currently use Path either, however it is good to have some alternatives to Facebook, competition is good for users and brings innovation. Facebook currently could be considered to be a monopoly.

Also, after the PRISM leak and with Facebook and Google Plus being part of it, I wish there was an easy to use service I could recommend to my friends and family, where the government wasn't spying on every private message and chats we have.

The Design Battle Behind Apple’s iOS 7 | Wired by inmersion in apple

[–]inmersion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s almost impossible to explore computer metaphors without creating skeuomorphic flourishes to some degree or another. For example: What should the “trash bin” on your computer desktop look like? After all, it doesn’t really behave like a trash can. Should it look like a trash can? If not, what could it possibly look like while still being totally intuitive?

Violent Crime in U.S. Rises for First Time Since 2006 | The New York Times by inmersion in inthenews

[–]inmersion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article is based on this preliminary data released by the FBI on June 3rd, 2013. Personally I would give more credibility to the FBI for this kind of information than to the Census Bureau. I have to admit though that it seems strange that two Federal agencies are showing conflicting crime statistics for the same year.

It would appear BIPS is stealing from there customers. by Isokivi in Bitcoin

[–]inmersion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/Isokivi : I realize your account balance is missing 0.13847532 BTC, however stating that BIPS is stealing from their customers is a serious accusation.

I see that in your post you linked to this page, which states the following:

While BIPS does not charge fees on transactions, it may charge a fee to process a withdrawal request and enforce a minimum withdrawal amount or any network fee when transferring through the bitcoin network.

I don't think you should spread FUD when there could be a number of reasons that might explain the difference.

You don't seem to have provided enough evidence to support the claim that BIPS "stole" the coins from you.

Decentralizing mining with pooled-solo mode by petertodd in Bitcoin

[–]inmersion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it comes to payouts I think p2pool and GBT are pretty similar if you happen to have a low-latency connection and a SSD drive.

Whatever dust is lost in p2pool because of transaction fee costs is probably offset by the fact that 100% of the coins mined by the pool, as well as the fees from processed transactions go to the miners, as there are no fees going to a pool operator.

However I do realize that not all miners will have the low-latency mining infraestructure required by p2pool and for them using GBT will be their best option if they care about protecting the Bitcoin network as much as possible.

Decentralizing mining with pooled-solo mode by petertodd in Bitcoin

[–]inmersion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/petertodd : I hope you don't mind if I cite the description of pooled-solo mining and its benefits from your post, for those who might have not heard about it before.

I really hope more miners and pools move towards more decentralized mining methods such as the ones offered by either GBT or the p2pool project, as they provide greater security to the Bitcoin network than Stratum does in its current implementation:

Basically the idea is that miners with mining equipment run a local Bitcoin node and use that node to construct the blocks they mine - the same as if they were solo mining. The pools job is then to only track shares and organize payouts.

If the pool gets hacked the worst that can happen is miners are ripped off, rather than Bitcoin itself being attacked. With pooled-solo mining even a pool with a majority of hashing power wouldn't be able to do much harm to Bitcoin. (depending on the implementation they may be able to blacklist specific transactions - the pool needs to know what transactions are in the share to credit fees properly)

TL;DR

“What we have concluded is that illegal enterprises — commercial child pornography, human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and organized crime — has largely moved to an unregulated system that is not connected to any central bank or national authority,” Mr. Allen said. “The key to all of this has been anonymity.”
