Whoa. People I know are in the Apple Music store. I can pay to download last year's Fray Cafe and the 2001 Fray too (I can buy Lance Arthur and Mena Trott for 99 cents!). The Brad Sucks album is there too (psst: you can download it from his site for free, and it's unencrypted or buy the CD direct from him like I did). I even see a search for "Scott Andrew" is turning a song up from the Fray CD, with hopefully more to come.

Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up Secure
Wireless Access in a Test Lab 04/15/2004 11:47 AM
This white paper describes how to configure secure wireless access using IEEE 802.1X authentication using Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol-Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (PEAP-MS-CHAP v2) and Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) in a test lab using a wireless access point (AP) and four computers. Of the four computers, one is a wireless client, one is a domain controller, certification authority (CA), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) server, one is a Web and file server, and one is an Internet Authentication Service (IAS) server that is acting as a Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server.

Java's Surprising Comeback 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Java may have been outflanked by Microsoft on the desktop, but the programming language is as prominent as ever in computing, playing a major role in servers, handhelds and embedded devices. Microsoft has repeatedly insisted it will not support Java in the future, but said last week that it will include an older version of Java in a new Windows XP update.

One of the most enlightening experiences I've had in my 5+ years at Yahoo was sitting in on some usability tests. Being on the "watching" side of the one way glass is fun. But it can be particularly frustrating when the application or service users are attempting to use is your own. Back in 2000 or 2001, I watched a few such tests on specific areas of the Yahoo!

“The Cassini spacecraft has spotted two previously unknown and small moons orbiting Saturn in an unexpected location. The satellites are tiny, about 2 miles (3 kilometers) and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) in diameter. They orbit within 131,000 miles (211,000 kilometers) of the planet’s center. The discoveries bring the total of Saturn’s known moons to 33. Number 31 was discovered last year with a ground-based telescope….

Apple Airport Express cracked -
surprising? 08/29/2004 05:16 AM
The guy who broke DVD encryption and iTunes Music Store has now cracked the encryption used in Apple's Airport Express, reports Edward Felten and asks what will be Apple's reaction.

My guess is that they will grumble and issue warnings, but essentially do nothing.

I have a theory that many of today's content protection systems have been designed to be crackable. You see, the technology companies are fully well aware that a) any DRM/encryption system is vulnerable, b) it is very expensive to design a good cryptographic system, c) having DRM on their systems means that their products are not as good or consumer-friendly as they could be, and d) if they don't put in protection, then content producers will sue their asses off.

So what is the logical conclusion? Put in a half-assed and cheap cryptographic system, that offers perhaps a few weeks or months protection, just enough to keep the content providers happy. And when it gets cracked, point at the evil hackers and say "their fault, we tried to protect this stuff, but the hackers are just too brilliant", and so they cannot be held responsible. And they will continue to sell their devices happily, because the market is now bigger. And I am sure that the content producers know this fully well, too (unless they have their heads up their asses, which is of course entirely possible).

I am also convinced that this is the reason why DMCA is not thought to be that bad by the consumer electronics companies: it just means that you can keep making really cheap, not-good-for-anything protection systems, because if a blind monkey happens to crack one, RIAA and others can just sue those monkeys and anyone using that cracking scheme - and the tech companies are again safe. It's like the proverbial bowl of water Pilatus used to wash his hands.

Eurgh.

Now what is interesting is what will happen to the companies that are now producing both content and devices (like Apple and Sony)? Can they survive this inherent rip in their business models - where the other half wants (and needs) to be open to survive in the marketplace, and the other half wants to close things down? My guess is that in the end, technology will win. After all, they are the ones making more money. And also because technology is controlled by a younger generation than content, and is willing to adapt much more quickly.

Privacy. You really don't need it because you don't seem to want it, yet you complain and cry foul when companies abuse your privacy and sell your information. So who is really to blame here?, the companies who are paying millions for everything from what shoe size you're wearing, to what you eat for lunch, and where. Government for allowing companies to get away with what can be seen as a crime? Could it simply be your own fault for allowing the the combination of the two, when they breach your privacy.
