The Downsides To TiVo?

The Downsides To TiVo? 11/11/2003 06:47 PM
Almost everyone you talk to who owns a TiVo (or similar device) talks about how it revolutionized how they watch TV. They talk about how they watch what they want, when they want - and say it makes television watchable again. However, some are also realizing there's a downside to such things. Being able to store stuff up, means that you can create a backlog. Some, who haven't figured out how to manage their TiVo experience find themselves feeling chained to their TV to "catch up" on all the shows they missed. In the past, if you missed a TV show, you asked friends for a summary of what happened, or you just get on with your life and figure you'll catch up the following week. Now, though, as people realize the power of TiVo, they never miss a show. On top of that, because of the simplicity of the whole thing, they end up regularly watching a lot more TV shows than they watched in the past, so the inevitable backlog appears. Some even report feeling stressed out in having to keep up with their TiVo. It's not at all surprising that some folks feel this way. It's the sort of adjustment period that happens with plenty of new technologies. Over time, though, people learn to manage such things - though, I'm sure we'll hear about psychologists who specialize in treating "TiVo addicts" before too long.

Weak Defense...But Getting Better

Weak Defense...But Getting Better 12/18/2003 03:40 PM
Worried about your wireless network's default security? You should be. Wireless networks send their data in the clear through walls and ceilings, and can be picked up with sensitive antennas -- much more sensitive than the ones your equipment uses -- miles away. With this kind of transparency, you need to protect the data on your network, even if you're a casual home user. The only tool for consumers and small businesses until mid-2003 was the built-in WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption that's required as part of the Wi-Fi certification program. But security experts have shown numerous flaws in WEP that prevent it from providing even a minimal reliable level of security for serious applications. Businesses had a strapped-together system they could use called 802.1X/EAP, but standardization for securing it (a separate problem), missing clients in older machines, back-end server requirements, and its reliance on WEP all prevented widespread adoption. Fortunately, in November 2002, the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group trade that certifies 802.11a, b, and g devices as interoperable, released an interim replacement for WEP and other aspects of Wi-Fi security that will change the landscape. This new standard is called WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). WEP's Weakness WEP's initial goal was to provide a level of security that conformed to the difficulty of tapping Ethernet network traffic. In the case of wired Ethernet, you would need physical access to a network to sniff packets and intercept data. WEP's minimal security should have met at least that level of protection. Unfortunately, WEP failed because of flaws in the conception and implementation of the protocol. Some of these flaws were a result of computational limits when the specification was being developed: the number crunching expected to be available on the Wi-Fi cards was orders of magnitudes lower than that available even in 1999. Other flaws had to do with then-current export restrictions on strong encryption, which limited one flavor of WEP to just 40 bits. Several articles appeared on Aug. 4, 2001, about an academic paper authored by notable encryption and security experts which that explained how insufficient randomness and insufficient key space meant that a cracker could sniff relatively few packets to crack a WEP key -- just a few million packets of data at most (or a few tens of thousands at least) using software that showed up a few days after the paper was released. The paper and subsequent...

How weak copyright helps authors

How weak copyright helps authors 05/24/2004 05:27 PM
Suw Charman has written a great article on book-authors who release their work on CC, focusing on the amazing story of the collaborative audiobook project for Lessig's Free Culture.

Most people are very aware of worth these days. eBay gives value to junk that might previously have been given away. Amazon sells second-hand books that might otherwise have been taken to a charity shop. The Antiques Roadshow raises the possibility that the horrendously ugly teapot you inherited from your Aunt Bessie might actually be worth hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.

Worth. Everything has a worth. Things. Words. Music. Everything. And everyone who owns anything worth something is not only entitled to benefit from the full extent of that worth, but should also do their utmost to protect it. Only a fool gives away something for nothing. That's right, isn't it?

Isn't it?
