<description><![CDATA[Energy efficiency company EnerNoc said today it has acquired privately held Global Energy Partners, a move that gives EnerNoc a bigger national presence.Boston-based EnerNoc provides demand-response and energy management services to commercial and industrial businesses. EnerNoc&amp;39's demand-response services are run from a network operations center in Boston.(Credit:Martin LaMonica/CNET)Companies get paid a monthly fee for being ready to turn down energy consumption during peak times. Utilities contract with EnerNoc when they need to lower demand, an approach that is typically more cost effective than turning on more power generators.Global Energy Partners is in the same businesses as EnerNoc but it has or continues to work with utilities in the western U.S., including Pacific Gas &amp; Electric in California and the Bonneville Power Administration in the Northwest. Global Energy Partners also has technical expertise with OpenADR, a communications protocol for automatically handling demand response in commercial buildings. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.Managing demand-side resources through demand-response programs is becoming more important for grid operators as they plan for the future. Rather than plan for construction of new power plants, grid operators PJM, for example, expect reductions in demand to account for about 7 percent of its planned capacity in next few years.EnerNoc, which is one of the fewgreen-tech start-ups to successfully go public, has acquired a few smaller companies over the past two years to expand.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered clandestine surveillance of United Nations leadership, including obtaining &quot;security measures, passwords, personal encryption keys, and types of VPN versions used&quot; and biometric information, according to a secret directive made public today by WikiLeaks.org.The July 2009 directive issued under Clinton's name, which also asks for details about &quot;information systems, networks, and technologies used by top officials and their support staffs,&quot; sheds rare light on the shadowy world of government espionage. That classified dispatch is part of a massive document dump, about 250,000 diplomatic cables, that began appearing on the Internet this morning. WikiLeaks provided the files in advance to news organizations including Germany's Der Spiegel and Spain's El Pais and has said it would wait before releasing the cables on its own Web site. (See related CNET article about a reported attack on WikiLeaks.)Another disclosure from the files: China's Politburo ordered the electronic intrusions into Google's computer network that became public in January, prompting the company to rethink its Chinese operations, according to what a Chinese contact told the U.S. embassy. (China denied the charges.)That intrusion was reportedly conducted by a combination of government hackers and private security experts, who reportedly also targeted U.S. government computers, those of the Dalai Lama, and other American companies. Some of the companies that previously been named as victims include Yahoo, Symantec, Northrop Grumman, and Dow Chemical, and Adobe Systems has confirmed a &quot;sophisticated, coordinated attack&quot; against its corporate network.The files appear to have originated from the U.S. Defense Department's SIPRNET, which is used for exchanging information up to the secret level and is jointly administered by the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Information Systems Agency.SPIRNET itself stands for Secret IP Router Network. In July, Pfc. Bradley Manning was charged with obtaining &quot;more than 150,000 diplomatic cables&quot; in violation of the law and is suspected of being WikiLeaks' source.WikiLeaks has already been the target of sometimes-strident denunciations from Washington officialdom after releasing confidential military dispatches from Afghanistan and Iraq.The Washington Times and a former Bush administration official suggested WikiLeaks.org as the first public target for a U.S. government cyberattack, a Republican senator proposed a law targeting WikiLeaks, and conservative commentators have called for Wikileaks frontman Julian Assange to be arrested. (Sweden has issued an international arrest warrant for Assange's arrest, which has been upheld by an appeals court on sexual assault charges. He denies the allegations.)Today's release is likely to ratchet up the rhetoric even more. &quot;Leaking the material is deplorable,&quot; Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, told Fox News today before the documents had even become public. &quot;I agree with the Pentagon's assessment that people at WikiLeaks could have blood on their hands.&quot;And in a statement, the White House said: &quot;These cables could compromise private discussions with foreign governments and opposition leaders, and when the substance of private conversations is printed on the front pages of newspapers across the world, it can deeply impact not only US foreign policy interests, but those of our allies and friends around the world. To be clear--such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government.&quot;Update 7:30 p.m. PT: The Cablegate.Wikileaks.org Web site is up, though the group says &quot;the embassy cables will be released in stages over the next few months.&quot; In another poke at the U.S. government, Wikileaks is using Seattle-based Tableau Software, a visualization company that grew out of a Defense Department project, to host some of the files. The New York Times, which claims it did not get the files directly from Wikileaks but honored the embargo, has posted an interesting exchange between Assange and the U.S. embassy in London. The Obama administration never asked the NYT not to publish. And here's one intriguing document highlighted by the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper: At least as of mid-2009, Israel believed it had until December 2010 to attack Iran's suspected nuclear facilities. Update 9 p.m. PT: Australia is investigating whether today's release violated its laws (Assange has an Australian passport). The Guardian newspaper says they gave a copy of the Wikileaks cables (received in August) to the New York Times. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley addressed the data-collection order in a Twitter message that said: &quot;Diplomats collect information that shapes our policies and actions. Diplomats for all nations do the same thing.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Online payments service PayPal has joined the global crusade against whistle-blower site Wikileaks and suspended the site&amp;'s account, which the nonprofit Wikileakshas previously relied on as a primary channel for donations.The payments service, which is owned by ecommerce giant eBay, stated on its blog that Wikileaks was in &amp;''violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.&amp;''Additionally, it added that the action was taken on its own and that it wasn&amp;'t contacted by any governmental agency regarding the matter.Earlier in the week, Amazon took a similar action andbooted Wikileaks from using its cloud services, stating that the site violated its terms and conditions by posting content it didn&amp;'t have the rights to and potentially putting innocent people in jeopardy. A couple of days later, domain name service provider EveryDNS.net followed suit andterminated Wikikleaks&amp;' domain name.As the walls close in on Wikileaks, the ethical stance of Internet services when it comes to delicate matters such as this is rightly being questioned.PayPal, Amazon, and EveryDNS.net have all denied acting due to governmental pressure, but given that the moves all came only after considerable posturing from Washington, it&amp;'s difficult to believe that this didn&amp;'t play a part.The whistle-blower site is under immense global pressure from world  governments, and these latest moves are shaking the site&amp;'s foundations.On a side-note: Wikileaks also ran into trouble with PayPal back in January, when an automated money-laundering alert was set off due to an influx of donations. The account ended up being suspended for a day, but the situation was resolved soon after.Next Story: Entrepreneur Corner: Debunking recruiting myths and advertising pitfalls Previous Story: Google&amp;'s Chrome OS netbook coming Dec. 7thPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: leaks, payments service, policy violation, suspension, whistle-blowerCompanies: paypal, WikiLeaksPeople: Julian Assange          Tags: leaks, payments service, policy violation, suspension, whistle-blowerCompanies: paypal, WikiLeaksPeople: Julian AssangeSid Yadav is a contributor to VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Wine Library founder Gary Vaynerchuk took the stage at Le Web today to talk about the importance of the human element in business. It&amp;'s really easy to not take the extremely quotable GaryVee seriously, because he spits out more platitudes than anyone you&amp;'ve ever met.But if you get past tired maxims like &amp;''Entrepreneurial success is not about luck&amp;8230'it is about focus and work&amp;'' and things like &amp;''What&amp;'s the ROI of your mom&amp;'' or &amp;''All the other bullshit is horseshit,&amp;'' Vee comes up with some pretty interesting stuff (My &amp;''Phone Call Is Dead&amp;'' post is inspired by a Gary Vee tweet and I&amp;'m about to write another one on &amp;''Google Is The New Resume&amp;'' which is also derived from a Vee quote).His latest &amp;''Chatroulette didn&amp;'t work because there was an enormous amount of penis.a4sIfa4sChatroulette had used Facebook Connect people would have kept their pants on.&amp;''Sorry guys, but this is just about the most true thing I&amp;'ve ever heard. Take note Andrey Ternovskiy, Chatroulette or another video chat startup should implement something like Facebook Connect to make people sign in with their real identities, because putting your real name on something implies a certain responsibility. Penis problem, solved.You can find an endless supply of the wisdom of GaryVee here. Enjoy.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
