Rent To Own

Rent To Own 02/05/2005 10:16 PM

Is music something you own or something you rent? While the music subscription approach has grown in recent years, far more music fans have opted to buy songs by the track, a business model popularized by Apple Computer Inc. iTunes Music Store and its hugely successful iPod portable player.

But the release late last year of new copy-protection software from Microsoft may begin to change that. The software frees subscribers to move their rented tracks from their computers to certain portable music players. The system works by essentially putting a timer on the tracks loaded on the player. Every time the user connects the player to the PC and the music service, the player automatically checks whether the user's subscription is still in effect. Songs stop playing if the subscription has lapsed. If the user doesn't regularly sync up the player with the service, the songs go dead as well.

RealNetworks, MusicNow and MusicNet, which distributes its service through brands like America Online and Cdigix, all have plans to launch portable subscription services this year or early 2006 at the latest. Napster LLC and F.Y.E., another MusicNet distributor, began offering portable subscriptions late last year through the Windows Media Player software, code named Janus.

Napster plans to turn up the heat on Apple with a $30 million advertising campaign debuting during Sunday's Super Bowl to promote a re-launch of its portable subscription service, dubbed Napster To Go. Napster's service is $14.95 a month - about $5 more than a non-portable subscription. F.Y.E's service is also $14.95.

91 percent of PCs are infected? 02/05/2005 10:11 PM
Why Does Windows Still Suck?: “Are you using a PC? You probably have spyware. The McAfee site claims a whopping 91 percent of PCs are infected.”

I’m curious—is this even remotely, possibly true? I confess to being a bit sheltered here. (My one Windows box just won’t boot anymore. Well, actually, it boots into Linux fine.)

Zombie Networks for Rent

Zombie Networks for Rent 07/07/2004 04:31 PM

Home PCs rented out in sabotage racket: This is just hideous. Now they have "zombie brokers" that will rent you a zombie network they've created.

Vast networks of home computers are being rented out without their owners' knowledge to spammers, fraudsters and digital saboteurs, security experts say.

The terminals have been infected by a computer virus, turning them into "zombies" — slaves to the commands of a malicious and unseen controller.

For more information on what they're doing with these machines, see this post.

Prolexic, a provider of security consulting products, has claimed that Deutsche Telecom, Wanadoo and AOL are Europe's top three internet providers for harboring infected PCs

The primary attack of choice in the begginning of 2005 was an advanced full connection based flood. This attack exposes the real IP address of the attacking zombie, however, due to the sheer number of IP addresses that must be blacklisted to successfully defend against the attack places an overwhelming load on protection hardware.

The findings were based on statistics taken from real DDoS attacks over the last six months. Globally, AOL was found to be the most infected service provider on the Internet.
