An American Female Highest-Paid Executive In Britain \ET\ US job openings slip in April, hiring rises

The American Highest-Paid Executive In  Britain

Burberry CEO and Indiana native, Angela Ahrendts, is now the highest-paid executive in Britain, according to a survey from Manifest, a British corporate governance group and pay consultancy firm MM&K, cited by the Guardian. At 16.9 million pounds, Ahrendts’ pay package is almost 5 million pounds more than the next highest paid British executive, according to the Guardian.
While Ahrendts’ achievement marks a significant step forward for high-powered women on either side of the pond, woman in both countries still face many obstacles to reaching Ahrendts’ position. In Britain, Ahrendts is one of just three female CEOsrunning the country’s top companies. In the U.S., women make up just 4 percent of the CEOs at S&P 500 companies.
Despite Ahrendts’ position as one of the few females at the top of the corporate ladder, she’s opposed potential policy changes that could help other British women get there.Ahrendts said last year that she isn’t in favor of quotas that would mandate a certain number of women be present on company boards, according to the Telegraph.
“Just put the best person into the job. It is not about gender, it is about experience, leadership and vision. A man could do this job,” she said.

US job openings slip in April, hiring rises

WASHINGTON: US employers advertised fewer jobs in April, but overall hiring rose and the number of people quitting their jobs increased.
The Labor department says job openings fell 3% to a seasonally adjusted 3.75 million.
Total hiring jumped nearly 5% to 4.4 million. And the number of people quitting their jobs increased 7.2% to 2.25 million.
Most workers quit jobs when they have a new position or are confident they can find one. More quits are therefore a good sign.
The job market is very competitive for those looking for work. There were 3.1 unemployed workers, on average, for each open job in April. In a healthy economy, the ratio is 2 to 1.

Google's Not-So-Evil Plan To Lower Your Cable Bill

One of the more intriguing mysteries in the media/technology world is why Google GOOG -0.45% is building out broadband fiber data networks in a handful of American cities. Google says it’s just another attempt to create a profitable new business, but nobody seems to be buying that, judging from a panel discussion I watched at the National Cable Television Association’s Cable Show inWashington, D.C., on Monday.
The most intriguing theory about what Google’s really up to came from Jason Bazinet, an analyst who covers cable, satellite and entertainment at Citigroup C -2.72% Global Markets. In Bazinet’s view, Google Fiber is a regulatory play aimed at driving down the cost of a cable subscription.

Revealed And Saved ..!! Details Of Tech Companies' Agreements With Government Revealed /ET/ How To Keep Your Private Life Private From The Government

 Details Of Tech Companies' Agreements With Government Revealed

SAN FRANCISCO — When government officials came to Silicon Valley to demand easier ways for the world’s largest Internet companies to turn over user data as part of a secret surveillance program, the companies bristled. In the end, though, many cooperated at least a bit.

Twitter declined to make it easier for the government. But other companies were more compliant, according to people briefed on the negotiations. They opened discussions with national security officials about developing technical methods to more efficiently and securely share the personal data of foreign users in response to lawful government requests. And in some cases, they changed their computer systems to do so.

The negotiations shed a light on how Internet companies, increasingly at the center of people’s personal lives, interact with the spy agencies that look to their vast trove of information — e-mails, videos, online chats, photos and search queries — for intelligence. They illustrate how intricately the government and tech companies work together, and the depth of their behind-the-scenes transactions.

How To Keep Your Private Life Private From The Government

Your private conversations aren’t that private. In fact, the government is tapped into the servers of the top technology companies.
The NSA was granted carte blanche to the metadata of millions of Verizon phone calls. Current laws allow cops to access your email without a warrant if that email is stored in the cloud at least six months. Someone, somewhere could potentially be listening or reading your conversations. You can fight it, but it’s not easy.
If you’re not concerned about the government, hackers are out there ready to dox (display all your personal information online) you if they deem you important enough or for the fun of it. So how do you communicate without the whole world finding out that you’ve visited the doctor 12 times in the past six months for a mysterious rash? Well it’s not easy, but there are ways to keep your correspondence off the grid.

Leaked And Leaked..!! Lack Of Skepticism In Much National Security Coverage \ET\ US justice department confirms criminal leak investigation

Guardian US Editor Sees Lack Of Skepticism In Much National Security Coverage

NEW YORK –- Edward Snowden revealed himself Sunday as The Guardian's National Security Agency source, capping a frenetic five days of blockbuster storiesdetailing vast U.S. government surveillance of phone and Internet activity at home and abroad.

The rapid succession of scoops has helped raise the profile of The Guardian's U.S. edition, which launched online in September 2011 and is part of the 192-year-old British newspaper's strategy to compete as a global news destination online.
Janine Gibson, editor-in-chief of Guardian US, told The Huffington Post on Sunday that her outlet has found success in breaking stories on this side of the Atlantic because "there is a lack of skepticism on a whole in the media on the issue of national security." In the U.S., she said, there can be "a sense that it is unpatriotic to question the role that the security services play."
Gibson added that "these are clearly issues The Guardian, as whole, has really cared about."
A traditionally left-leaning voice in the U.K. media, The Guardian tried capitalizing on its existing U.S. readership during the Bush years with the 2007 launch of Guardian America. But the standalone site didn't take off and was shuttered a few years later. In 2011, The Guardian launched a U.S.-facing edition that remains part of the worldwide Guardian brand rather than a separate site.
