Path Does the Right Thing
Dave Morin, Path CEO:
We believe you should have control when it comes to sharing your personal information. We also believe that actions speak louder than words. So, as a clear signal of our commitment to your privacy, we’ve deleted the entire collection of user uploaded contact information from our servers. Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in control of your information on Path.
In Path 2.0.6, released to the App Store today, you are prompted to opt in or out of sharing your phone’s contacts with our servers in order to find your friends and family on Path. If you accept and later decide you would like to revoke this access, please send an email to service@path.com and we will promptly see to it that your contact information is removed.
Good move, but I don’t see how it could have played out any other way.

Kooaba Shortcut [Sponsor]
Thanks to Kooaba for sponsoring the 512 Pixels RSS feed this week!
kooaba Shortcut is a shortcut between real life and the Internet. Take a picture of what you are reading in a newspaper or magazine and instantly get connected to the digital version.
Using image-recognition technology, Shortcut recognizes what you’re reading. Once recognized, you can share the digital version of the pages via Facebook, Twitter, SMS, and email, or store them in Evernote. This works with over 1,000 newspapers and magazines worldwide. (See www.kooaba.com/products/shortcut for a list of publications.)
Shortcut also works with advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and billboards with the Shortcut icon. After taking a picture of such an ad, you gain access to extras such as coupons, sweepstakes, or store locators.
With Shortcut, you no longer need to type links into your phone, search Google for information, or cut out articles — just take a picture instead!
Shortcut is available for iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone 7.
Firmware Update Brings Internet Recovery to 2010 Models
Federico Viticci:
Earlier today Apple published two EFI Firmware updates for its iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro lines. The updates, available through Software Update or Apple’s website, bring Lion Internet Recovery to more Mac models from 2010 — the mid 2010 iMac, late 2010 MacBook Air, and early 2010 MacBook Pro.
Cool.
