Jargon: The Biggest Computer Security
Threat

Jargon: The Biggest Computer Security
Threat 04/04/2005 01:54 PM
If you're online these days, computer security problems come in all sorts of flavors including viruses, worms, phishing, trojans, zombies, spyware, malware, adware, DDoS, spam, spim, spit, buffer overflows and many others... and, of course, most people have no clue what most of those mean -- which leads them to (a) freaking out about the insecurity of using computers while (b) having no idea how to really protect themselves. While some may question this particular study, it does make a good point that a lot of the jargon used to describe security threats can sometimes be more confusing for non-techie computer users. What this means, though, is that many less savvy users are simply going to expect their ISP to keep them secure, which may be quite a challenge for ISPs who aren't prepared for that sort of thing.

Tech Jargon Confusing People Into Buying

Tech Jargon Confusing People Into Buying 04/14/2004 02:26 PM
Recently we wrote about a study saying that too much tech jargon was scaring off buyers and suggested that companies focuse more on benefits than jargon to attract customers. Well, as some pointed out at the time, tech jargon can be a two way street - often confusing the matter enough that clueless customers feel compelled to buy. In fact, a new study shows that more than one in four people surveyed admitted to buying the wrong product due to confusing jargon - and you have to wonder how many others in that situation wouldn't even admit to it (or, even better, still haven't realized they bought the wrong product). The question, then, is whether or not salespeople are purposely confusing the issue to try to trick people into buying, or if they just don't realizing how confusing the jargon is. I'm guessing it's a combination of both - with some cases being a situation where the sales person is covering up their own ignorance by throwing in jargon words to sound knowledgeable. What it all boils down to, however, is that (a) tech jargon isn't going away and (b) buyers need to be skeptical of what they're being told and should do their best to learn the basics of what they're being sold from third parties before buying.

Clinical Trials Site Demystifies Medical Jargon
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19274-2004Jul27.ht ml

ClinicalTrials.gov is a federally funded database of clinical trials, open and accessible to the public. Part of the National Institutes of Health, it provides information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, even phone numbers for more details. Led by Alexa McCray, director of the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, the site has been embraced by millions of people trying to puzzle their way through the often Byzantine world of clinical trials. It currently includes information about 11,100 trials, including those carried out by NIH, other federal agencies and private industry. Trained in linguistics, McCray is a strong advocate of distilling complex medical terminology into simple, everyday language. The goal is to help prospective patients make informed choices, after weighing the benefits and risks of taking part in medical trials. Critics complain about the limited scope of the database, particularly when it comes to clinical trials carried out by the private drug industry. The American Medical Association, among others, say pharmaceutical companies should be forced to register details about the opening of a drug trial and its results, something which is currently optional. Some industry officials complain that such a requirement would compromise proprietary information. McCray believes mandatory registration would lead to more effective research. "Patients have the right to this kind of information, whether it's clinical trials data or the latest literature on medical breakthroughs or just getting a better understanding of some condition that you or a family member suffers from."

PC Magazine's Wireless Glossary

PC Magazine's Wireless Glossary 04/09/2004 05:14 PM
PC Mag includes host of wireless definitions in laptop-buying guide: Cogent, brief, accurate descriptions of common wireless terms are part of this larger package of stories about buying a laptop. This reminded me to make available the glossary that Adam Engst and I wrote for The Wireless Networking Starter Kit, 2nd Edition. You can download this long glossary of wireless and networking terms free of charge from here in PDF form. (The book is available in both print and electronic editions, by the way.) I do, of course, have a few extremely minor cavils with PC Mag's definitions: 802.11i: It doesn't necessarily succeed WEP and WPA in the sense that both will be around long after it's released partly because old hardware (most hardware based on pre-2003 chipsets) won't handle AES. LEAP: EAP is just a generalized messaging protocol; LEAP is a particular implementation of authentication using EAP messaging. Other EAP types include secured methods like EAP-TLS (certificate installed in the client machine manually), and PEAP and EAP-TTLS (secure channel established without independent certificate). 3G: 3G, which stands for third-generation cellular technology, isn't the first generation to allow data transfer, but it would best stated that "3G is the first cellular technology designed from the ground up to transfer data as readily as voice communications." 2G was digital, but focused on voice; 2.5G is a retrofit. Wi-Fi: It's not just that members pay, but that members pay to have products tested and certified. It's not a rubber stamp: the Wi-Fi Alliance said that 25 percent of the products tested in a recent time period failed on their first go-round and weren't stamped Wi-Fi until they were revised....

Women Into Tech, But Not Into Tech
Jargon 09/07/2004 05:03 AM
While there have been some stories in the past suggesting that women are just as into gadgets as men, a new study in the UK suggests that even if that's true, they're not as on top of the gadget jargon as guys. Nearly all women in the study (96%) said they "lacked confidence" when a discussion turned technical, and most claimied they had no clue what words like kbps, ISP and googling meant. Only half of the women surveyed knew that 512kbps was approximately 10 times faster than dialup, while nearly 80% of the guys did. Of course, it wasn't so much lack of knowledge, but lack of concern. When asked about their broadband connection, women generally said: "It works, it's fast - that's all I need to know."

Is Venture Capital Over?

Is Venture Capital Over? 04/14/2005 04:52 AM
A well known venture capitalist is apparently claiming that the age of the VC is over, and is getting out of the business. The specifics of his claim are that VCs won't be able to earn the same sorts of returns they did in the 90s, which he chalks up to "systemic change." If anything, it sounds like he's channeling Nicho las Carr, who believes the tech industry is becoming commoditized and boring (misunderstanding that things first get interesting when stuff gets commoditized). Of course, the silly thing is that he seems to be comparing today's VC returns to what you could get in the 90s. He claims that "the eye-popping returns that make venture capital famous are history." Of course, the easy response to that is that perhaps most of the "eye-popping returns" were the aberration in the first place, built on the bubble of hype-cycles past. That means there's still plenty of opportunity in real innovation -- and even without that, you can bet that there will be more hype cycles and bubbles. History< /a> practically guarantees it. While bubbles aren't good for everyone, good VCs generally are able to make out quite well (since they bail out early enough) -- and we've already explained why bubbl es eventually are good for most people. While it's bad for those who get sucked up in the hype, it does accelerate innovation by allowing a lot of companies to quickly test (and discard!) many different ideas.

In all the speculation about the deal I haven't seen what surely is the motivator. Six Apart plans to go public. The market will value SA based on it's ability to generate profits, and it will likely do so in proportion to the number of users, the theory being that they can sell things to the users, so the more users, the more they can sell. They might value each user at $100. Anyway, the more users the more value. LJ has a lot of users. So the founders of LJ get SA stock, and the shareholders in SA get more users, and value of the combined companies goes up and the day of the IPO gets closer.

Entrepreneurs Who Don't Want Venture
Capital 12/08/2003 04:41 AM
It seems like every few months a story just like this one show up somewhere about entrepreneurs (usually ones who have gone through the process before) are starting new companies without venture capital. The reporter (like in most of these articles) tries to make it out like this is a big conflict between those who "know better" and the venture capitalists. The truth seems quite different - and the story isn't supported by any of the actual quotes. Certainly there are entrepreneurs who get screwed by VCs, and there are many who go into the process the first time without realizing what they're giving up when they accept VC cash. However, the truth is that many businesses (and certain entrepreneurs) aren't right for VC money. Understanding what VCs are looking for, and what the process is like is important for anyone raising money. Then the entrepreneur can make the right decision about the best way to move forward. Sometimes that's with VC cash and sometimes it isn't. Everyone quoted in the article seems to understand that, but that's not as interesting a story for the paper. What would be better is if the press stopped making the implicit assumption that to do a startup you need to raise venture money - and that the companies that raise more money are the automatic powerhouses.

Has China Figured Out How To Do That
Venture Capital Thing? 04/11/2005 05:58 AM
Back during the boom years it seemed like every place on earth wanted to claim that they were the next Silicon Valley -- but about all the did was announce that they were going to do that, and come up with some lame nickname starting with Silicon: Silicon Farm, Glen, Beach, Alley, Mountain, Cove, etc. Beyond the fact that silicon usually had little to do with what few tech companies in these places were working on, most of these places lacked the real infrastructure that made Silicon Valley tick. A big part of that is the venture capital industry here, which isn't so easy to replicate -- especially in places where the concept of risk capital (and, actually, plain old risk itself) isn't quite the same as it is here. Love 'em or hate 'em (or, as is so often the case, both), a flourishing venture capital market has helped to fund a ton of high growth businesses. However, there really aren't many reasons why other areas can't figure it out eventually. China is taking a step in the right direction by changing the laws for venture capitalists in that country, giving those firms the ability to break away from a government that has held them back. This isn't to say that the Chinese VC industry will jump to the forefront, but it is a step forward in a country where there's an awful lot of innovating going on -- often with VC money from back here in Silicon Valley.
