Anti-Virus Firms Fearing A Lack Of High
Profile Viruses -- Pump Up Low Profile O
03/29/2005 02:05 PMSix years after the famous "Melissa" mass mailing viruses, some
started to say that
mass mailing viruses were on the decline. Of course, for the
publicity departments of anti-virus firms, that's bad news. They need
some sort of virus scare every other day or so to prop up sales. So,
wouldn't you know it, just as we're told that mass mailing viruses are
on the decline, Symantec comes out with a screaming warning about
some new mass mailing virus.
Of course, when you look at the details, even they admit that it's a
"low" or "moderate" threat. However, that's never stopped the company
from ringing the fear bell to try to drum up some extra sales.

High Profile Spammer Files For
Bankruptcy -- But Plans To Keep Spamming
03/29/2005 08:53 AMOne of the highest profile spammers around has been Scott Richter and
his company "OptInRealBig." Richter has received plenty of coverage
over the years for such stunts as
suing
SpamCop for "damaging his reputation". He was also one of the
major characters in Brian McWilliam's fascinating
<
i>Spam Kings book -- which gives you the impression that
Richter really likes the idea of becoming a legitimate, non-spamming
email marketer, but can't seem to stick to it. Richter also got off
extre
mely lightly last year in the case which NY State filed against
him with
great
fanfare. While he got away with just a slap on the wrist in that
case, both Richter and OptInRealBig are now
declaring bankruptcy. Of course, don't get too excited just
yet. The company claims that it's doing just fine and is actually
growing. The point of declaring bankruptcy is just to consolidate all
the other lawsuits that have been filed against the company (including
a $40 million suit from Microsoft) -- and to reorganize the business
to keep on churning out those emails.

of personal data in electronic form. Now, though, everyone can see the
“paranoia” was justified - with 635,000 consumer complaints
related to fraud and identity theft logged with the FTC last year and
a rash of organizations revealing that personal information was
compromised. Finally, it looks like this is enough to get Congress’
attention.

dr.sbml.cc/Click?q=18-WhZzI98YBTJgODLT6MBeRLjRThe
increasing number of people using the Internet for health information
will have a "profound effect on medicine," according to a new report,
"The Impact of Health Information on the Internet on Health Care and
the Physician-Patient Relationship." The report, which appeared in the
Journal of Medical Internet Research, noted that it is unclear whether
the effect will be beneficial or harmful, however. "The advantages of
the Internet as a source of health information include convenient
access to a massive volume of information, ease of updating
information, and the potential for interactive formats that promote
understanding and retention of information," the report said. "Health
information on the Internet may make patients better informed, leading
to better outcomes, more appropriate use of health service resources,
and a stronger patient relationship."
However, the report
said, health information on the Internet may be misleading or
misinterpreted, compromising health behaviors and health outcomes, or
resulting in inappropriate requests, either because "refusal is time
consuming, or because they fear refusal would weaken the
physician-patient relationship."

Status Inertia: The Speed Imperative in
the Attainment of Community Status
05/13/2004 05:19 AMStatus Inertia: The Speed Imperative in the Attainment of
Community Status by Daniel Stewarthttp://opensource
.mit.edu/papers/stewart2.pdfAbstract:This paper examines the role of
tenure in establishing social status within an online community of
free software developers. As tenure increases, an actor's status
becomes increasingly taken-for-granted, thus making it difficult for
actors to generate mobility outside of their current social strata.
The results of empirical analyses suggest that the broader community
plays a major role in deciding one's social position-a judgment that
can be made fairly quickly and decisively. Therefore, members of the
community who desire high status should work quickly to establish a
positive reputation or else run the risk of being cast into an inert
low status social position.

12/24/2004 01:03 PM Instant802 offers manufacturers mass-profile possibility for access
points: Instant802 makes the software for service providers and
manufacturers that runs their APs. For instance, the Gateway AP series
that I have praised in the past uses Instant802 firmware. They've
released an Enterprise Managed AP (EMAP) platform which allows many
APs to be configured as if they were a single AP. This is a
fascinating way to sidestep large-scale management through a cluster
profile, because the platform handles load balancing, beacon
assignment (up to four SSID names per AP), and channel selection. Call
it a plug-and-play enterprise solution....

it was actually quite cold and I was freezing. And since I'm not a

07/06/2004 10:17 AMSuspect in AOL theft makes conflicting
impressions: An interesting look at the guy who got
caught trying to buy AOL screen names from an employee.
...Dunaway was a "very nice gentleman. You'd never expect anything
like that," said neighbor Christo Zaferatos.
"That," of course, was the swarm of federal agents busting down
Dunaway's door early June 23 and hauling him off in handcuffs. Federal
prosecutors accused him of an audacious crime: conspiring with an
America Online employee to steal 92 million AOL e-mail addresses later
sold to a spammer hawking penis-enlargement pills.
Dunaway ran an online gambling venture, Justice Department
prosecutors say, making as much as $20,000 a day, enough to pay the
rogue AOL employee $100,000 for the highly sought addresses.

Xeni profile in the LA Times
04/10/2005 08:54 PMCory Doctorow:
w00t! Our very own Xeni Jardin is the subject of a gigantic,
flattering profile in today's LA Times! Go, Xeni!
Jardin is a very specific sort of rising star, the type born of the
21st century whose celebrity is fluid and self-made — she's a
journalist, a blogger, a TV personality, an artist and an
entrepreneur. She is, at once, a member of the media and a media
darling, who translates light-speed cultural shifts as they happen and
looks great doing it. Jardin is the child of artists who revels in the
Internet's infinite reach, but fights ambivalence about its
impermanent legacy. She wears Gucci and drives a convertible Mercedes,
but sees herself as an outsider.
"I want to see how far I can push it," Jardin says, "before they
realize I'm a nerd."

Update: Jeremy Joseph forwards this
excerpt from a response Xeni sent to pho list members discussing the
story:
I'm humbled and grateful, and more than a little disoriented. Feels
like
that feeling you have when you step out of the vomit comet, after
floating
around in microgravity for a while. A little woozy. A little drunk on
weightlessness and thin air.
It would be irresponsible of me not to clarify two things right away.
First,
the kevinsites.net project mentioned in the story was hardly something
I
created singlehandedly for our tireless, intrepid correspondent
friend. JP
put in a lot of time, hard work, and sharp thinking to raise that
digital
barn -- as did other folks like David Ulevitch, who has donated
hosting for
the project since day one.
Secondly, as flattering as the phrase might be -- I'm no "self-made
woman."
Until they sell those handy self-cloning kits we've all been waiting
for
(and I'm keeping an eye out for 'em on engadget or gizmodo), that's
just not
possible. Each of us are the product of families and mentors.
Communities of
people who gave because the act of giving was imperative. People who
gave
when they didn't have to, even when the act might go unnoticed, or
come at
personal cost. People who gave because generosity is part of what
makes us
truly human beings, and is of itself a life-affirming act.
Xeni says:
For the record, the note I sent to pho (re-posted here on Boing Boing)
was a response to members' comments -- I wasn't responding to the text
of the story itself. I was attempting to clarify statements made in
that forum by subscribers, not implying any lack of thoroughness in
the reporter (Gina Piccalo)'s work.
