hype-free

A blog which tries to demystify computer security, point out the half-truths and misinformation which floats around about this subject and hopefully reduce the hype created by semi-informed people. It also has some useful tips from time to time.

The Amazon Mechanical Turk

A good series of posts from the "A Computer Scientist in a Business School" blog on the topic of the Amazon Mechanical Turk (and using it to solicit reviews of products):

Soliciting Reviews on Mechanical Turk
Time Out New York and Mechanical Turk
Is it unethical to pay for reviews?
Monitoring the Dynamics of Mechanical Turk
Duration of Tasks on Mechanical Turk

Also a very cool chart about the MT activities created with the Google Chart APIs.
