Step Inside an NYC Shipping Container and Chat With Someone in Tehran. 'Portals' exhibit aims to connect far-apart city dwellers and explore their everyday lives Through December 19th, average New Yorkers have the chance to build up relations with the people of Tehran.
By taking part in a new exhibit, everyday people can stand in an intimate space with an Iranian person and discuss – not international tensions or achievements – but their day-to-day lives, goals, and just about anything else.

Google yanks vital Android privacy feature. Well, that didn't take long: shortly after Google added a new Android feature that let you deny apps access to your sensitive personal data, they have revoked it.
This is frankly terrible, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Peter Eckersley has some very pointed commentary, recommendations for Android customers, and advice for Google: A moment ago, it looked as though Google cared about this massive privacy problem. Now we have our doubts. The only way to dispel them, frankly, is for Google to urgently reenable the App Ops interface, as well as adding some polish and completing the fundamental pieces that it is missing: * Android users should be able to disable all collection of trackable identifiers by an app with a single switch, including data like phone numbers, IMEIs, information about the user's accounts.* There should be a way to disable an app's network access entirely.
